Dead Sea Salt Pool

admin — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 18:32:38 +0000

we bring the dead sea and its minerals to you. The Dead Sea is known for its therapeutic properties, and people have traveled to its shores for centuries to soak in the salty, majestic waters. The clean, unpolluted air and warm climate provide a healing environment that is like no other place in the world. Dead Sea salt is filled with natural healing elements that occur naturally in our bodies but are often lost as we go about our busy days. Soaking in water enriched with this salt is known to benefit the body from the inside out, treating skin conditions and improving internal processes.

You can experience the therapeutic benefits of Dead Sea salts at our spa but be careful when dip in the pool, because you may just float on your own!. Most of the bath salts you will find in stores are, in fact, no different than ordinary table salt.

The Real Deal: Many bath salts are often treated before they are sold, and many important minerals are removed during the process. If the bath salts are pure white, this is a bad sign- they have been treated and processed, and contain no Dead Sea benefits.

Our Mineral Dead Sea salts are the finest quality bath salts you will find. They are harvested from the Southern end of the Dead Sea, where the mineral content of the waters is at its highest. The salts are delivered to our customers in their pure, raw form, containing all the essential minerals that were there since the beginning.

Aquamaia Dead Sea Salts contain 21 minerals including magnesium, calcium, sulphur, bromide, iodine, sodium, zinc and potassium. These essential minerals naturally occur in our bodies but must be replenished, as they are lost throughout the day. These minerals are known to treat, detoxify, and cleanse our bodies. Common Skin Disorders

Acne, psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema, dandruff, scabies and seborrhea are some of the most common – and unpleasant – skin disorders suffered by Americans today. Psoriasis alone is said to affect 3% of the population to some degree. Most of us have had to deal with embarrassing white flakes on our scalps and have struggled to find a cure.

Most of us have had cracked, dry skin and attempt to soften our arms and hands with greasy, thick creams that only work for so long. Our treatment of many skin conditions can be temporary and expensive at best, and dangerous at worst: many creams and lotions contain steroids or coal derivatives. These treatments are not always effective and can have harmful side effects, and are therefore not ideal for continued, long-term use.

Acne is probably the most common skin disorder of all – 80-90% of all adolescents suffer from it. Acne, contrary to popular believe, is not caused by diet. Chocolate and greasy food aren’t to blame. Acne is caused by many factors and many involve internal processes such as stress and hormone fluctuations. Dead Sea salt is high in sulfur, and sulfur is a powerful cleanser that has been proven to treat acne effectively.

Dry skin is also all too common. Our skin becomes parched as a result of climate and lack of moisture, especially in the cold, dry months of winter. Dead Sea water is a wonderful treatment for dry skin, as it nourishes the skin and replenishes much-needed moisture.

Research has proven that soaking regularly in water enriched with Dead Sea salt can provide relief from these unpleasant skin disorders without any side effects (see spa therapy treatments). In fact, Dead sea salt has been recommended by the international psoriasis community and the National Psoriasis Foundation as an effective alternative treatment for the disorder.

Dry & Wet Sauna

admin — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 08:40:52 +0000

Join us at the Chicago Russian Sauna and enjoy a stress free day – You will enjoy both the health benefits of wet saunas or you can use out dry-heat sauna. Both wet and dry saunas use volcanic rocks. With a dry sauna, the sauna rocks are left as they are. A wet sauna, often known as steam sauna, is accomplished when water is splashed onto the rocks and quickly vaporizes because of the extreme heat of the rocks. When you sit in a wet sauna, you sweat profusely, your body temperature rises, and your heart beats faster. So, why would anyone want to put themselves through this kind of torture? The price for good health is often hard work. However, the health benefits of saunas won’t require much effort on your part.

The physical benefits that you experience while sitting in a wet sauna are very similar to those benefits you experience when you perform moderate physical activity such as exercise. In fact, you can burn a significant amount of calories while sitting in a sauna. If part of your health program is to lose weight, spending time in saunas on a regular basis along with following a healthy diet can result in a healthy weight loss. Other health benefits you can experience in wet sauna include increased blood flow and respiration, as well as the elimination of toxins from your pores as the steam from the water vaporizing on the sauna rocks causes them to open.

Stress is a normal aspect of daily life. However, an excess of uncontrollable stress can lead to a myriad of health problems. Another health benefit of wet saunas is that the steam can relax your body. Athletes often use wet or steam saunas after a rigorous workout to speed up the repair of their joints and muscles. Athletes often perform such workouts consecutively for weeks at a time. The relaxation of the joints and muscles that occurs mimics the process of recovery that is needed between rigorous exercise programs. You can create an intense relaxation experience in a wet sauna by adding fragrance to the rocks. When water is splashed onto the rocks, fragrance that comes in contact with the rocks becomes the beneficial vapor that you inhale. You probably don’t want to use an overwhelming fragrance. The popular aromatherapy fragrances are probably healthier.
