A treasure-trove full of health and beauty since ancient times, the Dead Sea is an endless source of health promoting and balancing elements. Rich in life enhancing minerals, the Dead Sea salt and mud have been acclaimed throughout the ages for their remarkably beneficial effect on the skin, hair and even on stressed nerves. The Dead Sea is situated on the Syrian-African fault, a geological phenomenon created some three million years ago during a great natural upheaval. The Dead Sea is the lowest point on Earth. Thousands of years of evaporation increased the levels of minerals and salts. The composition of the Dead Sea is unique. It contains higher levels of Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium, Bromides, Sulphate, Stontium, Zinc, Boron, Lithium and other minerals than all other bodies of salt water in the world including the oceans. These minerals all have extremely positive effects on the body, improving cell metabolism, helping the body absorb nourishment and eliminating toxins. In fact, medical research has determined that the unique blend of powerful minerals and salt found in the Dead Sea is highly beneficial for the relief of various skin problems, including psoriasis and eczema.
