Swimming in The Dead Sea is quite an incredible feeling as it is impossible to sink in the thick brine, which
is four times more salty from regular sea water. One can even Lie back on the water and read a newspaper.
Due to the extremely high content of salts and minerals the water is known for its Therapeutic powers and
its mud is used as various treatments.
The Dead Sea is the lowest point on earth, some 418 meters below sea level. As the name suggests, the
sea is devoid of life due to an extremely high content of salts; (rich in sodium, potassium, calcium,
magnesium, chlorides, bromides and sulphate) . They provide the raw material for bath salts and cosmetic
products which are marketed world wide.
100% Pure Dead Sea Bath Salts & Mud Minerals list:
Sodium
The Sodium ions remove skin scales and improve its permeability. After penetrating into the skin, they bind the water
and generate a feeling of suppleness, ideal for of very dry skin.
Magnesium
Magnesium concentrations found in the Dead Sea are fifteen times higher than salts in other seas. Magnesium is
essential for cell metabolism. For instance, a significant deficit in Magnesium has been discovered in skin scales and
serum of patients with psoriasis. Magnesium supposedly affects the ripening of skin cells of psoriasis patients.
Moreover, in cases of bronchi, Magnesium works as anti-allergic agent.
Potassium
Potassium improves the oxidation and regulates the electrical process of the muscles and the nervous system. Asthma
patients achieve good results from inhaling the salt vapors.
Bromide
Bromide concentration is 50 times higher than common salts. Thus having a very relaxing effect.
Bitumen
Besides other Dead Sea Minerals found in smaller amounts, the salt contains a natural tar called Bitumen which acts
as an anti-inflammatory agent.
Chlorine
Chlorine necessary to maintain the correct balance of alkaline and acid in the body, together with being vital for cell
metabolism.
Iodine
Iodine is necessary for the production of the hormone thyroxine, and is also vital for both energy and cell metabolism.
Calcium
Calcium is necessary in strengthening cell membranes and cleansing the pores. In addition it is vital for production
and maintenance of healthy teeth and bones, together with regulating the heart muscles and nerves.
Zinc
Plays a role in enzymatic regulation of cell proliferation

is lifted too high in reading a perfectly
dry newspaper.
