Over millions of years, the hot dry air and high evaporation rate
have contributed to the high salt concentration present in the Dead Sea,
making it one of the saltiest lakes in the world. Compared to the 3%
salt content of ordinary sea water, Dead Sea water contains 32% salts
with relatively high concentration of minerals such as magnesium,
calcium, bromide and potassium (see table below).
Exposure to Dead Sea water is acclaimed for nourishing the skin,
easing rheumatic discomfort, activating the circulatory system, and
relaxing the nerves. The use of Dead Sea bath salts at home is an
effective way to relax and absorb the minerals of the Dead Sea. Research
has proven the efficiency of Dead Sea bath salts in alleviating skin
diseases such as psoriasis and eczema, by treatment that can be
administered at home. It is also highly beneficial for relieving muscle
tension or for simply relaxing and enjoying a
rejuvenating experience.
