Sea salt is a type of salt that comes from the evaporation of seawater.
The taste, texture, and processing are what makes sea salt different from table salt. Sea salt is typically not processed or minimally processed since it comes directly through the evaporation of seawater. Because of minimal processing, sea salt has various trace minerals such as magnesium, calcium, zinc, iron and potassium.
Table salt is used in recipes and on food, it undergoes processing to give it a fine texture. When this happens, you lose the minerals that are present in sea salt. There are many types of sea salts available on the market. Dead Sea salt, which is sourced directly from the Dead Sea, comes in a variety of grains including fine, coarse and extra coarse. Some products also contain scents like lavender, vanilla and rosemary.
Dead Sea salt is said to be of the highest quality and is best for therapeutic use such as relaxation, easing sore muscles, providing relief for certain skin conditions. The benefits of having a Sea Salt Scrub are well known, such as improved circulation, natural skin glow, removal of bacteria and unclogging of pores.

​
How It Works
​
Paraffin treatment is a form of deep heat therapy. Liquified paraffin wax is very efficient at absorbing and retaining heat. When you dip your hand or foot, for example, into the paraffin bath, heat transfers from the wax into the affected area as the wax solidifies. The heat increases circulation and relieves pain and stiffness. To aid in skin softening, paraffin increases blood supply to the skin, while also opening pores and trapping moisture from underlying layers of skin. Paraffin treatment can be part of physical and occupational therapy, and may be performed before therapeutic exercise. It can be beneficial for rehabilitation of sports injuries and other physical trauma.
