Dead Sea
The main pluses. The unique mineral composition of the water, as well as the healing mud of the Dead Sea (specializing in the resorts of Jordan and Israel); soft due to constant I bromine evaporation air, which helps to transfer without loss even extreme heat, intense bromide secretions, medicinal and for the nervous system and for the respiratory tract.

Red sea
The main pluses. The water of the Red Sea is almost as rich in minerals as the neighboring Dead, but it is alive, that is, it contains many microorganisms, including algae. Literally after the first bath swelling goes away and the lymph flow accelerates, and the skin receives a shock dose of useful minerals. In addition, the air saturation of bromine vapors here is also only slightly inferior to the resorts of the Dead Sea. Negative sides. High salinity of water together with summer heat can become a contraindication for people with cardiovascular diseases. High humidity keeps the heat even after sunset. Specialization. Diseases of the respiratory tract, treatment of infertility, obesity. After treatment, go to those resorts where the coral reefs are preserved - a unique source of minerals and trace elements.

Sea of Azov
The main pluses. The shallow and warm Azov Sea is unique in its microelement composition: 92 minerals from the Mendeleyev Table are dissolved therein; the climate is friendly to the inhabitants of the middle zone.
