Composition of the Dead Sea water

In the water of the dead sea there are chlorides of magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, a large number of bromide compounds.

Water is famous for its rich microelemental composition: due to the presence of copper, cobalt and zinc, metabolic processes inside the body are restored.

In water there is a significant amount of salts, enriched sulfide muds, iodine and bromide compounds, minerals of organic and inorganic origin, which do not oxidize even with prolonged storage of water.

The chemical composition of the Dead Sea water is:

• sodium - 35 mg / l;
• potassium - 76 mg / l;
• rubidium - 0.06 mg / l;
• calcium - 16 mg / l;
• magnesium - 42 mg / l;
• chlorine 208 mg / l;
• bromine - 7 mg / l;
• ions of sulfuric acid - 0.5 mg / l;
• ions of sulfuric acid - 0.2 mg / l.

Ionic composition corresponds to that of human lymph and blood serum.

The content of potassium and magnesium compounds in the waters of the dead sea is several tens of times greater than their quantity in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

The density of the water of the dead sea is caused by a considerable quantity of salts. Its indicators range between 1.3-1.4 g / cm³. Depending on the depth, the density increases, which explains the pushing action of water relative to any body immersed in it.

Another property of water is a high pH, which is equal to nine.

Salinity of the dead sea water exceeds all salinity parameters of sea water. For example, water in the Atlantic Ocean contains eight times less salt, and water in the Baltic Sea is forty times less. How is this explained? Apparently, for millennia the water from the dead sea was gradually evaporated, which led to accumulation of mineral salts and an increase in the degree of salinity.

The water of the dead sea does not have any characteristic color: it is very transparent. When immersed in the sea, a person experiences an inexpressible pleasure: in such water it is impossible to drown, because, being in it, it seems as if you feel a feeling of weightlessness.

Dead Sea water is widely used for the production of cosmetic and medical products, and also sell untreated water in bottled containers.

Pool with dead sea water

Some domestic SPA-salons go further than baths and procedures of wraps with sea water. Ask, maybe in your city there is a pool with dead sea water - such an impromptu piece of the dead sea, created for those who do not have the opportunity or time to go to the coast of Israel.

The water in this basin is really real, the same as in a natural source, and heated to the temperature of the body. Swimming in such a basin is not only pleasant, but also as useful as it is on the real sea.

What you need to know, going to the "swimming" in the pool with the water of the dead sea:

• Before bathing, do not shave or depilate (salt water can cause unpleasant sensations when coming into contact with small wounds);
• just before bathing visit the toilet (urinate in salt water is not only ugly, but unpleasant, both to you and others);

• do not take alcoholic drinks and drugs (before the procedure, and in general ...);
• Before diving in the pool, you must take a shower with a detergent;
• if you do not know how to swim - do not be afraid, you can not drown, just relax and have fun;
• being in the water, do not wipe your eyes with your hands (if water accidentally hit the eye, just blink quickly);
• ears are also desirable to protect, so recommend to use special inserts for the ears, so that they do not get water;
• Do not try to swim, performing sharp strokes with your hands, and even more dive - still will not work. Relax and relax;
• After bathing, wipe well with a towel and rest for an hour. Rushing immediately after a relaxation session is not the most successful action. You can drink a cup of green or herbal tea and lie down under light music.
