Good Health & Cosmetology:
From a Sea Known for Death?
Of all the mineral salts known to exist in the Sea of Salt region, those in highest concentration include Magnesium, Calcium, Bromide, Potassium, Sodium, Chloride, and Sulfur. Magnesium chloride (53%), potassium chloride (37%), and sodium chloride or common table salt (8%) are the most abundant, while the remainder occur chiefly in trace elements.
One has yet to obtain current estimates as to the approximate net worth of the Dead Sea region, but its value seems to rest mainly in its ability to draw tourists and in mineral extraction. During the mid-70s, the estimated value of the roughly 50 mile long by 11-mile-wide pothole was set at around four times the net worth of the US, or greater than the four richest European nations combined (or, something like that! Memory now starting to fade! One article dated 02/17/1929 quoted Sir Herbert Samuel who put the net worth at around 4 billion dollars!).
People who know about Israel’s Sea of Salt are drawn to it from all around the globe for a variety of reasons, not the least of which are medicinal, therapeutic, and cosmetic, shelter accommodation being provided by many first-class hotels after the order of the likes of the Hyatt. Jewish historian Flavius Josephus is said to have remarked, nearly 2000 years ago, something to the effect that the Dead Sea was worthy of praise, owing to the healing aspect and impact of its salts upon the human body. Thousands who suffer from psoriasis are said to have been treated effectively by the minerals-laden water, supplemented by a follow-up of bathing under a sun known to be gentler and kinder to exposed skin, nowhere else on earth (otherwise harmful solar radiation, some say, is blocked by an atmospheric oxygen level higher than any place else in the world). A bromine concentration 50 times greater than the open seas leaves one feeling relaxed, following a dip, while the magnesium level 15 times that of any ocean makes the skin smooth. Even this lake’s black mud, equally rich in minerals (heated to 117oF), is hailed as therapeutic and desirable as a treatment for physical ailments like arthritis.
Cosmetic products from the Salt Sea are said to be highly prized, much sought after and sold all over the world. While one has never seen the movie (movies) about her, having only read something of her royal, short but sordid and miserable life today (04/08/05), it has been said that the supposedly brilliant Egyptian Queen Cleopatra built cosmetic and pharmaceutical factories in the area, having obtained rights of exclusivity. The Queen of Sheba, of King Solomon fame, was also a visitor almost one thousand years earlier.
