What is the Dead Sea?

The Dead Sea surface elevation of the shoreline is the lowest land point on earth. This endorheic body of water is the deepest hypersaline lake in the world mesauring 67 km long, up to 18 km wide and 799 m below sea level in depth at its deepest point.

The Dead Sea has attracted interest and visitors from around the Mediterranean basin for thousands of years. Until today, the Dead Sea is considered as one of the world's most effective health resorts.

Why is the water of the Dead Sea so salty?

The mineral content of the Dead Sea is significantly different from that of ocean water, consisting of approximately 53% magnesium chloride, 37% potassium chloride and 8% sodium chloride (salt) with the remainder comprised of various trace elements.

Comparison between the chemical composition of the Dead Sea to other lakes and oceans show that the salt concentration in the Dead Sea is 31.5%. Due to its unusually high concentration of salt, anyone can easily float in the Dead Sea because of natural buoyancy as a result of the higher density of the water.

Why is it called the Dead Sea?

The sea is called "dead" because its high salinity means no fish or macroscopic aquatic organisms can live in it, though minuscule quantities of bacteria and microbial fungi are present.

What are the minerals in the Dead Sea Salt?

The concentration of sulfate, SO42-, ions is very low, and the bromide ion concentration is the highest of all waters on Earth. Chlorides neutralize most of the calcium ions in the Dead Sea and its surroundings. While in other seas sodium chloride is 97% of the salts, in the Dead Sea the quantity of NaCl is only 12-18%. In the following the four most important minerals are characterized:

Magnesium
Magnesium concentrations found in the Dead Sea are fifteen times higher than salts in other seas and are 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 is a basic element of the human body. It regulates the water balance of the skin, strengthens its defence mechanism and is anti-inflammatory.

Bromine
Bromine is necessary for the production of the cyclic hormone AMP which regulates the regeneration of the skin and ensures the normalization of the skin's peeling process. It has an extreme soothing effect on the skin and the entire organism.

Calcium
Calcium has an anti-allergic, itch-relieving effect and relieves the sensitive skin. It prevents infections and supports the skin balance.
