Dead Sea psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by red, itchy and flaking patches that cover the skin, mainly around the knees, elbows and scalp. Psoriasis is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors; about third of the patients have at least one first-degree relative with psoriasis. The disease appearance can be triggered by several environmental causes including stress, season and climate changes, viral or bacterial infections, certain medications, and trauma such as a scratch or an injury.
For years, the Dead Sea served as a healing center for psoriasis patients, who enjoy a supervised exposure to the sun rays in the lowest point on earth, soak in the salty water of the sea and cover their body with natural Dead Sea mud and sulfur.
