The Ancient Benefits of Dead Sea Mud

Iconographic documents and archaeological findings trace the evolution of the horse over more than 2,000 years, leading us to the Middle East, particularly to the shores of the Dead Sea.

A Unique Natural Composition for Equine Well-being

Humans have long taken advantage of the recognized beneficial properties of its waters and mud to treat themselves and their horses.
Since Antiquity, it has been highly coveted, and Cleopatra was among its fervent users.

The Dead Sea region remains a prominent site for health research and treatment to this day.

The waters and climate of the Dead Sea treat rheumatism, muscle pain, and improve numerous skin diseases such as psoriasis, acne, eczema, vitiligo, and many others.

The incredible natural composition of the mud results from the accumulation of sediments along the shores of the Dead Sea.

Ten times richer in mineral substances than the water of other seas, the Dead Sea provides unique benefits for the body, especially for the skin.

Enriched with mineral salts for more than three decades, it contains magnesium, calcium, manganese, sodium, sulfur, phosphorus, selenium, zinc, copper, iron, chlorides, and bromides of potassium—so many active principles found in its black clay muds.

The mud targets recovery of limbs after effort; prevents swelling, relieves muscle and joint pain, soothes irritated skin and itching.

Its astringent and anti-inflammatory action has been tested and confirmed by veterinarians.

This mud, which is neither clay nor marine mud (no iodine), is very interesting because it is extremely versatile; it regenerates tissues and is beneficial for the skin, tendons, muscles, and joints.

It is unique because it is inimitable by humans and possesses a multitude of benefits. It helps reduce inflammation, remineralize the body, relax muscles, eliminate toxins, and relieve joint, muscle, and tendon pain. It is applied in a very thin layer on all equids whether they live in the stall or in the field.

The Dead Sea contains 27% minerals (including 24% magnesium), whereas most seas and oceans have about 4% minerals!

Among these 27% minerals, we find 24% bioavailable magnesium, which is very quickly absorbed by the cells.

Magnesium absorbed through osmosis increases circulation, reduces inflammation, and initiates the regeneration process at the cellular level.

Magnesium, along with calcium and potassium, helps relax muscles and eliminate toxins.

All the minerals provide energy to the cells and activate enzymes to accelerate cell regeneration.

The bromine present helps calm stressed and damaged skin.

It does not dry out the skin, does not clog pores, and is very well tolerated. On the contrary, it offers an exfoliating treatment that opens the pores, hydrates, and nourishes the skin, optimizing mineral absorption down to the cells.

Even horses intolerant to clay tolerate it very well.
