The muds of the Saki Lake have a number of unique properties, according to the healing power superior to the resources of the Dead Sea.

What is medical mud?

Healing mud, or other name of peloid, is a muddy colloidal sediment of natural origin, accumulated on the bottom of water bodies for a long period of time. The composition of colloids includes mineral salts, organic and inorganic substances, gases, microorganisms, antibacterial substances.

The main properties of therapeutic mud:

• Adsorption of microbes.
• Antibacterial qualities.
• High plasticity.
• High heat-retaining qualities.

The main components of peloids:

• Salts of magnesium, calcium,
• Mud solution of organic acids.
• A saturated solution of sea salts (brine).
• Solutions of organic, organic-mineral compounds.

One of the richest deposits of natural peloids is located near the city of Saki. Muds of the Saki basin refer to sulphide-silt sediments. They are characterized by a rich mineral composition, high saturation with gases (methane, hydrogen sulphide), which gives the mud a peculiar sharp odor. Also in the colloidal solution is a living microflora (species of bacteria and fungi), producing acids, pigments, organic compounds.

Mud treatment is one of the oldest ways of acquiring health. Appointments should be carried out at the doctor's instructions, where an individual scheme of procedures is indicated. It includes the dosage, the duration of each session and the entire treatment in general.

Mastering the healing lake

The mud of the Crimean peninsula is known from the works of Herodotus, in which he recommended the treatment of wounds of warriors to be carried out with the help of Tavrica mud. The effectiveness of the method is proved by a multitude of medical studies, long-term experience of treatment, which is used at sanatoriums in Saki, Evpatoria and other health resorts located in the balneological zone of the Crimea.

The development of Lake Saki began in 1893, when it was divided into two unequal parts. The smaller had a resort destination, where they began to come for treatment. Most of them started to develop salt production on an industrial scale and took water for chemical production. This step disrupted the equilibrium of the ecosystem and led to irreversible consequences. Production was canceled only in 1920, realizing its destructive effect on the ecosystem and incompatibility with the resort's destination of a unique lake.

In 1934, a canal nine kilometers long was laid, delivering sea water to the lake with the help of pumps. This allows you to maintain a constant water level. Finally, the industrial part was transferred to the resort in 1973. On the perimeter of the lake there are hydraulic structures: dams, dams, designed to prevent desalination of the salt water body.

Industrial extraction of therapeutic mud of Lake Sakka began in 1980, at the same time pools for recovering used raw materials were constructed. Reserves of peloid deposits can be used and mined for several hundred years.

For today mud treatment with application of peloids of the Saksky lake offers about ten profile health resorts. Sanatoriums of the city of Saki are located in the resort park, which is located around the healing pool or on the sea coast, where the mud is delivered directly from the place of extraction.

Composition of mud

Dirt mud of Lake Saki is oily, elastic, black and gray in color, creamy in appearance, and has the smell of hydrogen sulfide.

The structure includes the following elements (basic):

• Brine.
• Soluble and insoluble mineral, organic, organo-mineral compounds.
• Microelements, hormones, penicillin-like and other substances.
• Saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.
• Steroids, a large list of amino acids.
• Nutrients.

Sulfide mud of the Saki Lake stimulates the regenerative life processes in the human body. A feature of the peloids of this region is their ability to increase the energy parameters of the body, to disclose the full potential of human strength, to increase resistance to diseases, to have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, restorative effects.

Mechanism of influence

Dirt mud of Sakskoye Lake has a velvety pleasant structure, and therefore it is easy to apply it directly to the body, it densely lays on the skin and retains heat, thus enhancing the healing effect.

Levels of exposure:

• Temperature. Peloids slowly cool, gradually giving off heat to the body. The water in the mud mass has a fairly high temperature after forced heating, which is not felt at all by the skin. As a result of thermal action with a prolonged effect, tissues warm up more deeply, blood flow improves, circulation of lymph and blood becomes more active, focal inflammations are cleared more quickly. Painful sensations become dull and gradually go away, oxygen exchange in cells improves.
• Mechanical. Mud applied to the skin area, activates the autonomic nervous system, sweating increases. The secret secret removes "slag" from the body, excess salt, and intercellular drainage occurs. Outwardly this is expressed in the tightness of the skin, elasticity, velvety, healthy skin color.
• Chemical. All mineral constituents of mud, dissolved gases in it, ions of microelements freely penetrate into intact skin and subsequent layers (tissues, muscles, organs, blood, etc.). Positive effect is on the endocrine system (thyroid, pituitary, ovaries, testes, etc.), provoking the normalization of work, delivering the necessary vitamins for the functioning of microelements. Thus, the effect of rejuvenation is achieved, the energy potential is increased.
• Antimicrobial. The Saki area is rich in mud with a bactericidal effect. With the help of applications on wounds, foci of skin lesions, a cleansing effect is achieved, the wounds tighten several times faster. Intracavitary application also shows positive persistent results. The presence of iodine, bromine and zinc ions in Saki mud causes a rapid restoration of the tissue structure, has a harmful effect on pathogenic microflora, such as staphylococci, Escherichia coli and others.
• Adaptable. Muds activate the protective mechanisms of the body, the immune system is activated, suppressing the foci of the disease. The internal structure of life support comes to a balanced state, it works to restore its functions. Such a compensatory influence is exerted by the Saka mud.

Reviews

About Saki lake and its medicinal mud many positive responses both from people who have been treated in sanatoria or visited boarding houses, and from those who visited the lake by a "wild" tourist, eager for recovery. The sanatorium course of treatment with peloids for many has proved to be the best solution to problems with joints, psoriasis, bone diseases and many other problems. The treatment passed gave an excellent result, fixed for a long period. Many resort visitors noticed the positive effect of mud therapy on the nervous system. Optimism, calm disposition, full of energy, a significant improvement in the quality of sleep have become regular companions of life after a course of sanatorium treatment.

There are claims to the conditions of life in some sanatoriums, boarding houses (Saki), too, were not always pleased with the service, but often this fact was considered a "necessary sacrifice", as a result patients received balanced health and plans for a beautiful future. In any case, most patients in the sanatoriums are recommended to go to the procedures, despite the "small" difficulties.

Those who visited the lake with useful muds on their own during vacation or once, as a tourist, also did not remain indifferent to the resort miracle. People who risked treatment according to their own minds respond positively to the effect. The majority resorted to spontaneous mud cure for joint pain (arthrosis, arthritis), skin diseases (psoriasis) and general state of decay. Boarding houses (Saki), located in the resort area of the lake, do not always offer mud treatment. You can get to the place of spontaneous procedures independently, than many use.

Access to the lake is free for all, no fee is charged for passage and use of mud. This is a plus for a budget tourist, who needs Saki mud. Reviews about the condition of the beach, the infrastructure is negative. Most notes the lack of seaside line, the lack of minimum amenities. As for the garbage, almost all regretted the low level of culture of the coming users of the lake's healing potential. Purely, where everyone removes his garbage himself. Nevertheless, even with a complete lack of a hint of accommodation, all tourists are advised to visit Lake Saki at least once and try "miraculous" mud. For many, a one-time application has given fresh strength, comfort and ease.

Feedback on home use

Means for domestic use, created on the basis of Saki mud, received positive reviews. Cosmetic face masks, hair, body soaps and wrapping preparations deserve praise on the results of use. In the minuses there is a not very pleasant smell of hydrogen sulfide. But the effect obtained after the course of application, all made me accept this feature.

Medicinal mud for home use is also appreciated positively, the cycle of procedures applied to most users has made significant progress in the treatment of diseases such as arthrosis, arthritis, skin inflammations. Users noted the pleasant value of products and excellent therapeutic effect. Packaging products meet modern standards and aesthetics. The minuses turned out to be an individual reaction of the body: someone badly washed the drug out of the pores, and someone did not notice such a problem. Almost everyone warns about an unpleasant smell, and for someone it became the decisive denial in using mud, and someone just frowned a little and was subdued by the result.

The mud of Saki Lake has been known for a long time, as well as their therapeutic effect. To assess their effect, it is worth to go to the Crimea and try out their strength, of course, if there are no contraindications.
