Benefits of the Dead Sea
|
Having the proper balance of sodium, fluid and minerals in your body is essential to many aspects of health. Studies indicate that nutrients found in the minerals of the Dead Sea are essential to your skin, immune system, circulation and body to replenish moisture and offset the harmful toxins we naturally ingest.
The Dead Sea’s minerals have been found to help with:
- Maintaining balance of water and moisture hydration in the body
- Repairing skin tissue and other skin disorders – such as acne, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, rashes, and skin tone to decrease wrinkles
- Peeling away dead skin cells to reveal healthy layers of new skin
- Improving blood circulation
- Preventing surface allergens and bacteria
- Inhibiting the release of harmful toxins under the skin’s surface
- Soothing sunburns, arthritis, inflammation, and rheumatism
- Assisting hair health by eliminating dandruff, dermatitis, and dryness for healthy roots
- Relieving headaches, stress and fatigue by inducing relaxation

Elements of the Dead Sea
To understand the benefits of the Dead Sea, let's go back in time and learn a bit about the geological makeup of the centuries-old lake. Located in the Syrian-African Rift Valley with Jordan to the east and Israel to the west, the shores of the Dead Sea are the lowest surface point on earth. At 1,240 feet deep (422 meters), it is also one the saltiest bodies of water because it is not connected to any other waterways streaming in or out. This vast hypersaline 42 x 11 mile (67 x 18 kilometer) lake is not conducive to living creatures because of its harsh saline environment, thus the name “Dead Sea”.
Yet, this world wonder has attracted a great deal of fascination throughout the centuries. Year-round sunshine, minimal pollution, and pleasant dry air make the Dead Sea a haven for tourists, and the warm water, much like bath water was found to be an ideal natural "spa". Many in history -- dating back to biblical times -- have enjoyed its benefits. From Aristotle to Herod the Great to the ancient Romans and Jews who built nearby bathhouses using water and mud from its plentiful shorelines and hot springs, and legendary Queen Cleopatra herself.
All who have discovered the Dead Sea’s phenomenal qualities have enjoyed its positive healing benefits.
