  • Step 3: Using your fingers, apply the mineral mud in a thin, even film over your face and under your chin, in a gentle circular motion.

Antimicrobial properties of Dead Sea Black Mineral Mud

The Dead Sea (DS) is the lowest point on earth, at 422 m below Sea level. It is located in the Rift Valley between Jordan and Israel and considered the saltiest one among all the hyper saline lakes of the world (Momani et al., 2009). The unique climatic conditions in the DS area make it a famous site in the world for climatotherapy, which is a natural approach in providing cures for many human ailments. These include unusual solar irradiation, oxygen-rich, bromine-rich haze over the sea, exclusive salt composition of the waters, thermal mineral springs and a special natural mud (Oumeish, 1996; Moses et al., 2006). The healing properties of DS have been attributed to its rich salt content and abundance of minerals such as magnesium, calcium, potassium and bromine. Hence, thousands of tourists come every year to the DS not only to enjoy the beauty and quality of the area but more importantly to cover their body with its mud and salts that have been recognized from ancient times in enhancing life and treating rheumatic and skin diseases (Halevy et al., 2001; Wolf et al., 2003).

The DS mud is black in color and rich in salts and minerals that are absorbed from the water. It is mined from the DS shores and extensively used as a raw material in skin care products marketed worldwide including, mud packs, masks, facial and body treatments (Ma’or et al., 2006). The DS black mud and its derivative products are proved to be safe for the consumer with no toxic elements present at elevated levels of concern (Abdel-Fattah and Pingitore, 2009). In addition, several studies verified the therapeutic properties of the DS climatotherapy for the more frequent skin diseases such as psoriasis, eczema and atopic dermatitis (Gambichler et al., 2000; Hodak et al., 2003; Hristakieva, 2005; Ingber, 2006). Therefore, climatotherapy at the DS and its natural products becoming progressively more important as part of alternative modes of therapy among people throughout the world, due to the rising costs of conventional medicine and the public’s higher awareness regarding its possible toxic side effects.

The therapeutic effects of the DS climatotherapy on a number of skin diseases and the extensive use of DS natural products in skin care convince searching a new medicinal target as wound healing.

According to experimental results, Dead Sea black mud accelerates wound healing process of full-thickness excision wounds in BALB/c mice by enhancing granulation, wound contraction, epithelialization, angiogenesis and collagen deposition. This may be due to high content of minerals and trace elements that possibly act as anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant with enhancement effect on cell proliferation, migration and fibroblast cellular activity.
