see: http://www.deadsea-health.org/new_html/general_main.html and: = HIGH SALT CONCENTRATION = Over millions of years, the hot dry air and high evaporation rate have contributed to the high salt concentration present in the Dead Sea, making it one of the saltiest lakes in the world. Compared to the 3% salt content of ordinary sea water, Dead Sea water contains 32% salts with relatively high concentration of minerals such as magnesium, calcum, bromide and potassium (see Table 2). Exposure to Dead Sea water is acclaimed for nourishing the skin, easing rheumatic discomfort, activating the circulatory system, and relaxing the nerves. Its very high density enables the body to float effortlessly. This special feature permits free a relaxed and easier movement in the water thus enhancing the effects of physiotherapy. for additional general informaiton on the detailed composition of sea water of the individual oceans see: http://www.seafriends.org.nz/oceano/seawater.htm
