About The Dead Sea | |
At some 400 meters below sea level, is the lowest point on earth. At the bottom of the Dead Sea, in an area nicknamed the Dead Sea's "Bermuda Triangle", hot springs and magnetic motions have be detected. The continuous movement of the earth's layers is "stretching" the Dead Sea at the rate of one centimeter a year. Moreover, there is a greater amount of rare metals at this depth.
An evaporation process continuing for thousands of years resulted in increased levels of minerals and salt in the lake, which is known as the Dead Sea.
The composition of the Dead Sea is considered unique, containing the highest levels of magnesium, calcium, silica, sodium, and potassium in comparison to any other body of salt water in the world, including the oceans. Since ancient times, millions of people have come to the region to relax, enjoy its beauty and experience the healing, beautifying, and rejuvenating powers of the Dead Sea.
These visitors soak in the famous waters and coat themselves in the celebrated revitalizing black mud. Medical research and multiple studies have proved beyond all doubt the efficacy of these minerals in treating and preventing various diseases such as psoriasis, acne, and rheumatism. As in the past, the Dead Sea continues to attract tens of thousands of visitors
annually to its many resorts and treatment spas.
Dead Sea Salt also acts as a disinfectant and helps in removing harmful substances from the skin. The Dead Sea has a 33% concentration of salts and minerals (compared to only 3% in the ocean).
Dead Sea Salt original mineral composition improves cell metabolism and contributes to its restoration and regeneration.
A world famous treasure trove of health and beauty since antiquity, the Dead Sea is a gift of nature. Rich in life enhancing minerals, the Dead Sea waters and mud have been acclaimed throughout the ages. This unique body of water is situated on the Syrian-African fault, a geological phenomenon that came into being some three million years ago during a great natural upheaval. Many ancient layers of mineral-rich earth were exposed; salt water springs erupted forming a valley and lake - 400 meters (1300 feet) below sea level - the lowest spot on earth. An evaporation process continuing for thousands of years resulted in increased levels of minerals and salt in that lake, today known as the Dead Sea. The composition of the Dead Sea is considered unique, containing the highest levels of magnesium, calcium and potassium in comparison to any other body of salt water in the world, including the oceans.
