Sea salt is an effective treatment that soothe the skin, assists in the renewal of skin cells, helps relieve joint and muscle pain, aids in the elimination of toxins and helps replenish the body with essential minerals.

Sea Salt has been known for its healing properties since ancient times. Hippocrates, the Father of (Western) Medicine, noticed that seawater had a healing affect on the raw and bleeding hands of fisherman - that the saltwater kept infection away, and helped to alleviate the pain.
