Nature has endowed the
Dead Sea region, the lowest point on earth, with a rare combination
of unique health-giving properties. Year after year the area draws
an ever growing number of tourists and patients , seeking relief
for the body and rest of the soul.
The Dead Sea region is one of the driest in the world, with less
than 50 mm annual rainfall and high air temperatures all year
round. From November to April average maximum temperatures are
20-29 C; during the months of May and September / October : 32-37
C; and June/July/August temperatures hover around 38-40 C. Even
in the middle of winter, days are warm and nights pleasantly cool.
These climatic factors are the cause of the high rate of evaporation
from the Dead Sea, creating a unique haze that hangs over the
entire area. The high concentration of bromide in the region has
an extremely relaxing effect on the nervous system. Moreover it
filters out the harmful UVB rays, thus enabling tanning rather
than burning.
At the same time, the very low humidity, allied to the high rate
of evaporation, has a bracing effect, since it increases the metabolic
activity of the body. The Dead Sea region is also the richest
in Oxygen, 10% more than at Mediterranean Sea level. The absence
of polluting factors, such as industry, heavy traffic or allergens
contribute to the remarkably pure air.
The Dead Sea's unique chemical composition of Chloride, Bicarbonate,
Sulphate, Sodium, Potassium, Calcium and Magnesium endows the
water with considerable curative properties.
In addition to the wealth of natural treasures of the Dead Sea
provides the perfect ingredients for natural beauty care and total
relaxation, the major factors, the sun and the sea, have served
as a basis for the treatments of many different medical conditions:
a) Skin diseases, especially Psoriasis, Neurodermitis and Vitiligo.
b) Muscle and joint diseases, especially Polyarthritis.
c) Respiratory diseases, such as Sinusitis, Emphysema and Cystic
Fibrosis
d) Physical rehabilitation and psychometric ailments.
Besides medical care, the Dead Sea radiates an extraordinary atmosphere.
The environment has a soothing influence. There is no stress,
no worry, only leisure and relaxation...
