Anyone used salt from the dead sea for skin problems?

My aunt has returned from Israel and brought with her some sea salt stuff apparantly from the dead sea - great for skin conditions she reckons. Has anyone else heard of this or tried it? She has psoriasis but she bought some for my DS aged 2 - he has severe eczema.

I haven't, no. But DS's eczema really seemed to improve after bathing him in sea water (provided you give him a good rinse afterwards)

I use it on eczema and I know people who use it on psorisis. I find it works well (there is soap and shampoo made from it as well) but my eczema is not typical. It shouldn't harm so it might be worth a try.

I wondered the same
