Natural Cures for Many Ailments

The natural healing elements of the region are the mineral waters of the Dead Sea, the therapeutic Dead Sea Mud, and the unique climate of the area.

For the most part, the numerous mineral-rich hot springs along the western shore of the Dead Sea have been mapped and researched in detail. The spring water is the result of a mixture of elements from several nearby water sources at various subterranean strata with different hydro-geological regimes. The main components of the spring water are:

 - Dilute solutions of ancient waters that are held in the layers of rock that surround the Dead Sea.

 - Dilute solutions of Dead Sea water.

 - Rainwater, trapped thousands of years ago in the sediment around the lake.

 - Present-day rainwater that has seeped underground and has diluted the concentrations of water already there.
 

Dead Sea Water's Therapeutic Properties

The high temperatures of the spring water along the length of the fault indicate a depth of hundreds of meters at its source, where the water almost reaches boiling point. The physical makeup and heat of the spring water can be compared to water within the human body, and thus provides us many natural treatments without side-effects. The hydrostatic pressures of the water provide amazing therapy as they influence our blood circulation and breathing. The high mineral content provides a direct supply of various chemical compounds, and gives rise to the absorption and discharge of ions through the skin. Some of this hot mineral water arises freely while some is pumped from various depths according to the temperature required.

The water contains many minerals that promote health and wellness. The main minerals at work here are magnesia, known for its anti-allergic effect on the skin and bronchial tubes; bromine, which has a positive influence on the nervous system; and iodine, which is helpful in the functioning of various glands. The minerals of the Dead Sea are used in many cosmetics and skin care products because of the beneficial effect that they have on the skin.
