The Dead Sea is a unique and unusual phenomenon. It is a 76 kilometers long confined salt lake located 417 meters below sea level, dividing the Judea ridge on the west from the Edom ridge on the east. The Dead Sea is located in the middle of a geological rift splitting the Earth’s crust from Turkey in the north all the way to Africa in the south. This rift was formed as a result of tectonic-plates shifting on the Earth’s crust millions of years ago. These plates are still in motion to this very day. The Dead Sea is the ancient remnant of a much larger lake, which existed in the area 60,000 years ago (The Strip Lake). Its drying process, which begun 18,000 years ago brought about the formation of the Dead Sea. The dead Sea’s unique geological location below sea level, the salinity level, 3 times higher than the ocean water, the rare compositi home teeth whitening on of its water and salts content, have all given the Dead Sea its unique medicinal qualities, well known to humanity for thousands of years. These qualities are mentioned in ancient scriptures and in various cultures. Throughout human history many flocked to it in their search for remedies and beauty. After thousands of years of human experience and folklore claiming to the Dead Sea’s unique qualities and natural resources surrounding it, modern science began to research these claims to check out the truth in them and their origins. Renowned doctors and researchers as well as commercial cosmetic labs conducted researches and many experiments throughout the years, and their published findings have validated the ancient claims – the Dead Sea’s water and its treasures are unique and are rich with natural healing power as well as natural beauty.
