Balneotherapy is therapeutic bathing, submersing the ailing body in highly mineralized waters This is achieved by bathing in sea water or other naturally mineralized water like spring water. However it may not be possible for every person to visit the seaside or spring, so person can undergo balneotherapy by adding salts and algaes to water used for taking bath.

Since the dead sea salts contain mineral elements like sulfur, potassium, manganese, etc, these minerals are absorbed transdermally (through the skin) and a balance is achieved by the body in an indirect way. It is believed that the mineral composition of the human body and the sea is very similar, and so this treatment method is effective for the very ill and people of all ages. Balneotherapy has been widely used across continents for many decades.
