One of the world's saltiest bodies of water (it has almost 34 per cent salinity), has more concentration of minerals than any of the oceans. It does not support any life form, but is the source of life-giving properties to all who choose to bathe in it.
It is othe only place in the world where one can recline on the water due to its high buoyancy. Floating on the sea relaxes the body and does the skin and the joints a world of good.
