| Let us start by looking at the location of the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea lies at the bottom of the Syrian-African Rift Valley, which is about 1280 feet below sea level. The sea covered this area over 2 million years ago. This remnant of the sea is the lowest natural place on Earth. Salt from the Dead Sea is RICH in Salt and Minerals. The waters from the Dead Sea are unique in that they contain 27% of various salts as compared to 3% in normal sea water. The mineral composition is magnesium, potassium, and calcium chlorides, along with a high concentration of bromides.

| Magnesium is important for combatting stress, slowing skin aging, calming the nervous system and fluid retention. Calcium can increase circulation, prevent water retention, and strengthen bones and nails. Potassium energizes the body, helps to balance skin moisture and is a crucial mineral to replenish following excersise. Bromides relax muscles and eases muscle stiffness. Sodium is important for immune system function by balancing the lymphatic fluid.

| The Dead Sea has been an ideal spot for people seeking relaxation, or relief from skin and rheumatic disorders. Therapeutic effects of Dead Sea Salts have been known for thousands of years. Modern science has proven the therapeutic and rejuvenating properties of the unique mineral content. Science has also proven efficacy of those minerals in treating and preventing diseases such as psoriasis, acne, and rheumatism. The largest organ in the body, the skin, seems to benefit the most from bathing in Dead Sea Salts. The skin absorbs the salt, vitamins and other substances along with having an effect on circulation and metabolism.
