The Dead Sea is located in the Syro-African Rift, a 4000-mile fault line in the earth's crust. The lowest point of dry land on earth is the shoreline of the Dead Sea at 1300 feet below sea level. The fact that the lake is at the lowest point means that water does not drain. Daily 7 million tons of water evaporate but the minerals remain, causing the salt content to increase. The salts found in the Dead Sea are not ordinary but are rather mineral salts. The Dead Sea has the highest levels of magnesium, calcium, silica, sodium, and potassium than any other body of salt water in the world.

Nearly ten times as salty as the world's oceans and twice as saline as the Great Salt Lake in Utah, the Dead Sea is incredibly rich with minerals. The unique concentration of the Dead Sea waters has long been known to have medicinal value. Aristotle, Queen of Sheba, King Solomon and Cleopatra were all familiar with this. Modern doctors as well, often prescribe Dead Sea Salt soaks for patients with skin ailments.

The medicinal natural Black Mud is a mixture of Dead Sea minerals and organic elements retrieved from the shoreline as well as mixed with the earth. When applied to the skin, the Dead Sea mud improves and stimulates blood circulation in affected areas of many types of joint diseases, due to its thermopexic properties. Medicinal black mud is also useful for cleansing and softening the skin.

Black Mud is known to help skin diseases such as Acne, Rheumatic diseases, Respiratory diseases (Asthma, Cystic Fibrosis, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) as well as Eye, Cardiac and Gastro-enterological diseases.
