Dead Sea salts-Good For What ails Ya?

A kiosk in my local shopping mall is pushing “geniune” Dead sea salts. They claim all kinds of great uses for the stuff-it makes your shin soft, heals, reduces wrinkles, etc. My question: is this crsap any different fron regular rock salt? What makes it so valuble? People go to the Dead Sea to relax and float in the salty water-but is this any different from going to your local ocean beach (as far as your skin is concerned?)

The kiosk is selling junk. Dead Sea Salt is nothing special and will do nothing special for your health unless you believe it will, in which case it works by the placebo effect.

Try instead: Thames Water ™, a potent, restorative drink from the new, healthy River Thames. The River Thames was once polluted and now is not, so the same effect - removing pollution from your body - can be achieved by drinking Thames Water ™.

(Will only work as part of a healthy diet. Not recommended for people who are sceptics.)
