The Dead Sea. Salty truths and sweet lies. Our investigation into the healing properties.

The Dead Sea. The salty truth, the sweet lie. Our investigation into the healing properties of the dead sea. As it seems to us: the most convenient place to visit the best locations of the Dead Sea is the ancient biblical city of Madaba. It is also called the Mosaic City, as unique mosaics were discovered during excavations there, including the oldest map of the Holy Land, the so-called map from Madaba.
The road from Madaba to the Dead Sea is no less unique in its scenic beauty. 60 kilometres, including 38 on mountain serpentines and in an hour you are in the right place of the Dead Sea.
Lara in this video acts as the gullible optimist and I am the cynical sceptic.
We chose Coral Reefs view beach south of Wadi Mujib for its beauty and easy access to the sea.
Did you know that the Dead Sea is the deepest and saltiest lake on Earth and has been known since biblical times.
This is not true, but a primitive marketing move. It is neither the deepest nor the saltiest. The deepest lake in the world is Baikal 1642 m, and the depth of MM is only 306 m, and the saltiest lake is Gaetel in Ethiopia, and MM is only on the 8th place. The only truth in this phrase is that Aristotle himself wrote about its medicinal properties.
We have found irrefutable evidence of the effectiveness of Dead Sea cures.
This incantation Lara repeats after all hotels and travel agencies on the Dead Sea, both in Jordan and in Israel.
In fact, this is only partly true. Scientists only confirm that treatment at the Dead Sea is beneficial for psoriasis, which it does not cure but reduces symptoms. For rheumatological diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and osteoarthritis of the knee. For the treatment of all other diseases it is useless.
This unique place on Earth gives people the opportunity to experience incredible sensations. Here you can not even swim, but as in weightlessness hang in the water to take a sunbath. It is said that it is impossible to burn here. Local mud. Therapeutic mud. Spa treatments of all kinds. You get mud all over. Then wash it all off in the salt water of the Dead Sea. It's just an incredible experience that anyone can have.
Blah, blah, blah, blah. The truth is that Dead Sea treatments have a good safety profile. Dead Sea treatments do not worsen blood pressure. Laboratory analysis of Dead Sea mud has not revealed concentrations of minerals that could pose a health risk. But, take note. Drinking Dead Sea water is dangerous to your health. So is getting water in your eyes. The Dead Sea has provided some wonderful days. We've had a great time swimming and recuperating. For which we are very grateful. As our modest contribution to the recovery of the Dead Sea, our small action. It is no secret that there is a lot of rubbish here, but we did not meet anyone willing to clean it up. Friends, take up our baton. Well, how are you? Is it hard to go uphill? Easy! Easy! Easy!
