History of the Dead Sea and its minerals
More than 400 meters below sea level and with waters ten times saltier than those of the ocean, the Dead Sea is the lowest point on earth and the most saline of all natural lakes. No fish can live in its salty waters. It is fed by the Jordan River and by mineral springs whose waters resemble those of Evian and Karlsbad. Dead Sea Minerals are unique in character and famous for their healing and therapeutic properties being higher in therapeutic minerals than ordinary sea salt. It contains 26 minerals including Magnesium, Potassium, Calcium, Bromide, Bitumen, Sodium, Zinc and Selenium. Twelve of the minerals are found in no other sea or ocean and some are recognized for imparting a relaxed feeling, nourishing and detoxifying the skin, activating the circulatory systems and for easing rheumatic discomfort and skin disorders.
