Since times of old
people have been coming to the Dead Sea to rejuvenate. While
no creature can live in the salt sea, it has provided humanity
with a source of rich minerals, building materials, and healing
salts and mud for thousands of years. The sea was of such great
economic importance that wars were fought for its possession,
as when Mark Anthony conquered the Dead Sea area for Cleopatra.
The concentration of salt and minerals
in the Dead Sea is greater than that of any ocean. You can't swim in the Dead
Sea, but you can float all day long while the waters heal and refresh you! Perhaps
the most famous natural health product of the Dead Sea and its region is Dead
Sea Black Mud, loaded with minerals and skin-healing properties. Medical research
and multiple studies have proved beyond all doubt the efficacy of these minerals
in treating and preventing various diseases such as psoriasis, acne, and rheumatism.
This mud today is shipped around the world for people to enjoy in the comforts
of their own homes.
How did all this come to be? The Dead
Sea lies some 400 m (1300 ft) below sea level at the lowest point
on the earth's surface, and is a part of the Syrian - East Africa
Rift Valley, flanked by the Judean Mountains to the west and the
Moab mountains to the east. Approximately three million years
ago the Mediterranean Sea penetrated the area, emptying sea water
into the region. Enormous amounts of salt were deposited, and
over time, the early lagoon that had formed became separated from
the nearby lakes as the Mediterranean Sea withdrew. Since then,
the Dead Sea has been continually fed water from the rivers and
streams coming down off the mountains that surround it, but the
waters do not drain out. Instead, the extreme heat of the region
causes immense evaporation, leaving behind concentrated amounts
of chloride salts, magnesium, sodium, potassium, calcium, bromine
and various other materials. The combination of these minerals
and others give the Dead Sea salts and mud their healing properties.
