Since ancient times, the medical healing properties of the Dead Sea have been well known. Aristotle, Queen of Sheba, King Solomon and Cleopatra were all familiar with its beauty and medical powers. In modern times, particularly in the last half century, thousands of patients come every year to the Dead Sea area for the treatment of dermatologic and rheumatic disorders.

The Dead Sea itself, which has a 33% concentration of salts and minerals (compared to only 3% in the ocean), is located at the lowest point on the earth, 390 meters (about 1300 feet) below sea level. Because of this unique location, certain atmospheric, thermal, chemical and optical characteristics are found which occur nowhere else in the world.

These unique properties are combined to provide a treatment called bioclimatology for certain diseases, particularly skin and arthritic problems. Specifically psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, psoriatic arthritis and other types of rheumatic dysfunctions respond remarkably well to this form of therapy.

The Dead Sea MOR Clinic is situated at the solarium on the shores of the Dead Sea. In close proximity are the major hotels of the area (Ein Bokek). The Dead Sea MOR Dermatology and Rheumatology Clinic specializes in the treatment of the above conditions. On the clinic staff are highly trained dermatologists, a rheumatologist and auxiliary personnel with many years experience in their work. The staff strives to cater to all the patients requirements.

The clinic offers a comprehensive and personalized treatment program designed to obtain the maximum medical benefit for each and every patient. According to recent clinical studies, our clinic showed excellent improvement to complete clearing in almost 90% of the regular patients observed. When compared to other treatments which are available for psoriasis (local or synthetic), our results are at least as good or better by any standards. In addition, the Dead Sea treatment avoids the unpleasant and harmful side effects which can occur with many other treatments, Lastly, many patients on returning home enjoy longer remission time after the Dead Sea treatment program.
