Dead Sea resorts introduce world-renowned treatment for people with dermatological diseases

The Dead Sea is the only place in the world that combines year-round hot weather, an oxygen-enriched atmosphere, therapeutic UVB solar radiation, a mineral-rich salt sea, world famous mineral-rich mud, thermo-mineral hot springs and luxurious spas.

Research has shown that the combined climatic factors have a long-lasting therapeutic effect on dermatological diseases such as psoriasis and eczema, as well as on rheumatic or degenerative joint diseases.

Dead Sea resorts are now introducing their world-renowned treatment for people with dermatological diseases.

A unique combination of natural resources having therapeutic effects has turned the Dead Sea area into a healing center unparalleled anywhere else on the face of the earth.

The salty seawater, with its unusually high concentration of minerals, the natural hot springs rich in minerals and sulphur, the therapeutic black mud and the extraordinary climatic conditions – including uniquely filtered sun rays and oxygen-rich dry air, due to the high barometric pressure prevailing in the lowest spot on earth (417 meters below sea level) – all combine in providing the basis for the successful effect of the Dead Sea therapies. These natural resources have been shown to have a beneficial effect on various illnesses, including chronic incurable diseases, and have led to the reputation of the Dead Sea area as a natural spa promoting health and improving quality of life.

The Dead Sea resorts are offering these treatments along with a fun vacation, where you can enjoy the best of both worlds.
