Water, air, soil, and sun at the Dead Sea offer natural treatment of dermatological conditions. Sunshine at the lowest point on Earth is less harmful than in other places. The Dead Sea’s position and the steam blanket that rises over it cause a high evaporation rate, which helps reduce ultraviolet (UV) rays as well as UVB rays that cause sunburn. The Dead Sea region is rich in oxygen: 10% more than at the Mediterranean level. In addition to that, pollutant factors are very low, resulting in clean air that has proven to be of great benefit to those who suffer from respiratory illnesses.
