Rest on the Sea of ​​Azov. Benefits of Clay. The healing properties of blue clay from the Black Sea of ​​the Krasnodar Territory

In the Temryuk district (Krasnodar Territory), not far from the village of Za Rodinu, in the tract of Sinya Balka, there is the Azovskaya Sopka. This is the famous mud volcano. It is called the Blue Beam or Tizdar. The second name is associated with the name of the mountain, located a kilometer from this place.

Mount Tizdar rises 74 meters above sea level and is the beginning of the Golubitskaya ridge. About her volcanic origin evidenced by the fact that at the water's edge there are deposits of ancient blue clay. In 1919, the cone of the Tizdar volcano collapsed (after an explosive eruption). Now the hill is a truncated cone.

Where are the Taman mud volcanoes located?

At the junction of Asia and Europe, where the Caucasian mountain range, there are about 30 mud volcanoes on Taman land. This is one of the significant natural On the map below, you can see that such volcanic formations are scattered throughout the peninsula.

Name history

Why is the volcano often called Tizdar, and not the Azov Hill? Pyatigorsky scientists state university in 2011, samples were taken for analysis of dirt from the hill. Subsequently, a balneological conclusion was published. In it, the deposit was named Tizdarskoye, and since then it has been fixed.

There are two translation options:

1. In the name "Tizdar" Turkic elements are clearly visible. "Tizgin" means "row", "rank", "chain", and "jar" - "cliff", "ravine", "steep". Apparently, the name of the oronym is associated with the ruggedness of this area.

2. Translated from Turkish, the name means "chief, chief."

Description of the volcano Tizdar

After powerful eruption, which happened in 1919, it acquired an interesting shape: its edges in the south are raised by 8 meters, and in the east they are almost equal to the Mud Volcano Tamani Tizdar has quite big crater with a diameter of about twenty-five meters. And inside there is a lake filled with volcanic mud masses of gray-blue color. Its diameter is about 20 meters.

Every year about 2.5 cubic meters of healing mud arrive. Its mass is 2.5 tons. Scientists suggest that the lake reaches a depth of 25 meters, it is not yet possible to give more accurate figures.

To date, scientists call Tizdar active volcano. It is considered the most studied on Taman. According to experts, the crater is regularly fed healing mud coming through the central shaft from the bowels of the volcano. Its mouth descends to the Cimmerian rocks, which lie at a depth of up to 300 meters.

The specific gravity of the mud is quite high, so people cannot drown here. The slurry securely holds them at chest level. Diving into the mud mass is not only useful, but also quite funny. It is impossible to swim in it, it remains only to flounder in one place. There is a restriction on the reception of such procedures - you can not stay in the crater for more than 15 minutes.

Healing properties of volcanic mud

Mud volcano Tamani Tizdar is known for the healing properties of the erupting bluish mass. What are they? Experts call the main therapeutic factor temperature, or heat. Under the influence of heat at the place where the mud is applied, the vessels expand, the blood flow increases, and the metabolism in the tissues accelerates. This helps to improve the nutrition of the affected skin and muscles, eliminate or reduce painful and inflammatory symptoms. The second therapeutic factor should be called chemical. The healing effect on the body occurs due to volatile compounds. Volcanic mud has a pronounced absorbable, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and weak bactericidal effect.

Mud therapy procedures increase regenerative and immunobiological processes, have a beneficial effect on carbohydrate, protein and water metabolism.

The composition of the mud

The therapeutic effect is determined by the unique composition of the mud masses, as well as their low mineralization. The contents of the crater contain: iodine and boron, biologically active ions of bromine and strontium, zinc and lithium, iron and magnesium, chlorine and calcium, selenium and manganese, humic and naphthenic gases and acids.

The mud volcano Tamani Tizdar is characterized by a constant temperature of healing masses. In summer, the surface of the lake warms up to +20 degrees. There is one more important circumstance. All harmful substances (radionuclides, pesticides, salts of heavy metals) are concentrated in the underground layers of volcano mud. Moreover, their number is below the normative values.

Mud therapy procedures are successfully combined with swimming in the sea, mineral and sea baths, massage, therapeutic exercises, exercises in the gym (on the recommendation of a doctor), diet, physiotherapy.

"Island of health"

People who plan to spend their holidays in Krasnodar Territory are often interested in balneological resorts. They need to know literally everything: where in Taman mud volcanoes, how to get to them, where you can stay, how much such a pleasure costs, etc. Many seasoned tourists recommend going to the "Island of Health" - a unique health complex. He is the best on Azov coast. He has no analogues. The advantages of this object are determined primarily by its geographic location. It combines unique natural healing factors with modern infrastructure.

What is unique about Taman mud volcanoes? The benefits for the human body of mud volcanic masses and their healing properties are described in detail in the balneological conclusion. Let's get to know them too.

Mud volcano Tamani Tizdar is located far from large industrial centers and busy freeways, so the air here is the cleanest. According to the reviews of vacationers, this is a paradise place. Everything is here for comfortable rest and treatments: healing mud, unique natural landscapes, excellent landscaped beach, guarded parking, wine spas.

In 2010, this tourist complex was awarded National Prize them. Senkevich - diploma "The best tourist complex in Russia".

The use of mud in medicine

The first hospital appeared in the second half of the 19th century (at the foot of Rotten Mountain). Basically, serving Cossacks were treated here at that time. Until now, they tell here how patients who moved on crutches, after undergoing a course of mud therapy, left the hospital on their own feet. It was hard to say whether it was true or not, but today we can find out the reviews of modern patients of the Health Island. But we will do this a little later.

One thing is certain: today thousands of people with different corners our country visit Taman. Mud volcano Tizdar, according to the medical staff of the complex, is distinguished by healing mud, which rejuvenates the skin, heals wounds that do not heal for a long time. It is successfully used in the treatment of bruises and fractures, frostbite and burns. And that is not all. Volcanic mud is an indispensable assistant in the treatment of certain diseases of the nervous system, severe forms of polyarthritis, sciatica. As you can see, there are many indications for treatment, but we must not forget that you can start the procedures only after consulting with your doctor.

Contraindications

They exist and should not be ignored. Mud therapy is contraindicated for any neoplasms, diseases of the heart and blood vessels, varicose veins. With caution and with the permission of the attending physician, mud baths can be taken by pregnant women (in the early stages) and children under two years of age.

Opening hours and ticket price

The ticket price includes:

• stay on the territory of the complex;
• taking mud baths;
• use of the parking lot;

Taman, mud volcano: how to get there?

The easiest way to visit Taman is as part of excursion group. Such trips are now organized by many travel agencies in Krasnodar, Rostov-on-Don, Anapa and other cities. A comfortable bus will take you directly to your destination.

If you want to go to the volcanoes on your own, then you need to come to Temryuk. From the bus station of this city leaves every hour fixed-route taxi No. 103, the next to the village of Za Rodinu. Traffic on this route starts at 6:30 and ends at 17:50. "Health Island" is located next to the bus stop, leaving the minibus, you will see a large sign.

Motorists can also visit Taman (mud volcanoes). How to get here by car? To do this, you should move along the Krasnodar - Temryuk highway. From Temryuk, turn right, to the village of Golubitskaya. From there follow the signs to the village Za Rodinu.

(in the Temryuk district of the Krasnodar Territory) is its main attraction - mud Golubitskoye lake with therapeutic black mud.

The lake itself is quite large, 500 meters long, up to 140 meters wide (the area of ​​the lake is 0.6 km 2) and up to 1.5 meters deep. In summer, due to the evaporation of water, its level in the lake drops by 0.5-0.8 m. But due to the fact that the lake has an underwater connection with the sea, it does not dry out. From the water area Sea of ​​Azov it is separated by a small sand-shell embankment through which, during storms, shells enter the lake, small crustaceans and microorganisms, the death of which creates a special mud layer at the bottom. Their remains are oxidized and decomposed as a result of the activity of benthic microorganisms.

Due to underground communication with the sea and the annual overflow sea ​​water into the lake, the chemical composition of its water is similar to the composition of the water of the Sea of ​​Azov and belongs to the same type of chloride magnesium-sodium water. But unlike the sea, the water in Lake Golubitskoye is more mineralized. In the hot summer months, when water evaporation is maximum, its mineralization in the lake reaches 40 g / l, and in the off-season, diluted with storm and melt water, it drops to 10 g / l, that is, it approaches the salt content in the water of the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov. The active reaction of water in the lake is alkaline.

Mud deposits of Lake Golubitskoe are very well studied and are widely used in sanatoriums and medical boarding houses in Taman and Anapa.

Bottom silt deposits in the lake are represented by two main horizons: the upper black silt and the underlying dark gray silt, which is underlain by gray clayey silts and sand. The thickness of the black silt layer on average reaches 0.4 m, and as it approaches the coast, it decreases to 5 cm and is replaced by dark gray silt. Used for medicinal purposes top layer of black silt, which is characterized by a high content of hydrogen sulfide (up to 0.53%), low redox potential, high plasticity and uniformity, low contamination. The mud solution contains bromine and iodine, which increases the healing properties of the mud. The mud of the lake belongs to the type of silt, highly sulfide, moderately mineralized.

The muds of Lake Golubitsky are similar to the muds of the Kuyalnitsky Estuary, however, they contain more Fe (HS) 2 and organic substances, and in the solid phase there is almost no gypsum and less calcium and magnesium carbonates.

The operational reserves of therapeutic mud of Lake Golubitskoye are 18 thousand m3, or about 25 thousand tons.

The composition of the mud solution of silt sulphide mud.

Many vacationers, having experienced the healing power of black mud, ask themselves: “ Is it possible to take black clay with you in order to continue to be treated at home? When delivering to mud baths for short distances, for example, a tank truck filled with therapeutic mud, abundantly filled with water, is used. The water is then drained/evaporated, leaving the dirt behind. But one thing is a tank truck and 50 km. path is another matter. long road. There have been several cases of people picking up a full plastic bag of dirt and taking it home by train or car. In the heat, in a closed container, the processes taking place in the mud are accelerated many times, the mud begins to "wander" and, as a rule, lead to a sad result. The eggplant explodes, soiling all the compartment (or car), people, their things with mud. In addition, black dirt is not so easy to wash off. That is, continuous losses and frustration.

But it turns out that you can carry dirt! Here is what Krasotkina I writes about this. here's a little excerpt:

Also, it must be remembered that black dirt, like any medicine, has in some cases contraindications (for example, it cannot be used for fibroids). Just as important is the dosage! Always remember that if dirt is abused, it can harm the body.

And here are some extracts from what the locals say about black dirt:

Locals also say that the mud is most effective from June 15th to July 15th. But experts who study mud argue that this is not the case. That mud is equally effective at any time of the year. And where it is possible to extract it from the bottom, they do it all year round.

And these are the reviews of vacationers:

“When we anointed our feet and hands with healing mud, a small tingling sensation appeared in the area of ​​​​the joints. Then the leg became a little numb and after a few minutes, all the pain was gone. Feeling after medical procedure- easy. The skin became smooth and tender. The mud of the lake affects each person in its own way. The main thing is that dirt cannot be kept on the skin for a long time. It is difficult to wash off, but you can take a washcloth with you - with its help, the dirt is washed off faster.

“How to understand that mud or you haven’t reached the healing one yet? It's simple: when you walk along the bottom of Lake Golubitskoye - the ground under your feet is solid - it's still simple earth, but as soon as you began to fall through a little - this therapeutic mud. It's viscous and smells a little."

They also say that the mention of this lake is in the annals. What else during the time of the Zaporizhzhya Sich, the Cossacks had a hospital here, in which they treated cut and chopped wounds received in battle. The chronicles of that time inform us that after treatment with black clay, terrible wounds healed almost without a trace. It is impossible to say with certainty whether this is true or fiction, but the fact that the clay of Golubitskoye Lake has strong healing properties is a scientifically proven fact.

From the editor: We would like to draw your attention to the fact that we recommend mud therapy in specialized institutions, under the supervision of a specialist. In some diseases, mud has contraindications and can cause significant harm to the body!

In Inal Bay there is a lake of blue clay, where vacationers take mud baths.

It is this blue clay, whose huge layers of deposits go to the sea, and provides an amazingly beautiful color of water in Inal Bay. This text was stolen from the World Roads website (worldroads.ru)!

Bay Inal

The mountains here are an unusual greenish-blue color. The fact is that this is not an ordinary stone, but blue limestone.

Spring and rain waters slowly erode the limestone. And under one mountain on the shore there is a lake with blue clay, where streams flow from the mountain.

Mountains in Inal Bay

It is very tiny and shallow. 7-8 meters long, less than a meter deep. After the rains, the lake becomes larger, as all the dried clay around the hollow simply dissolves.

Blue clay lake in Inal Bay

The water in the lake with blue clay of the Inal Bay is so dense due to the saturated solution that the body is pushed to the surface. It is problematic to drown not only because of the shallow depth of the reservoir, but also for this reason. In general, a real small Dead Sea, only mud.

In summer the lake is full of people. Children frolic, adults are smeared with blue clay from head to toe and look like real Avatars or space aliens.

To achieve the effect, you need to sit in this clay for about 15 minutes, then get out and let it dry until it slightly starts to pull the skin (not until the blue clay cracks), and only then go to wash it off. This text was stolen from the World Roads website (worldroads.ru)!

Since the sea is literally five meters from the lake, people wash off the clay right in the sea waves.

Bay Inal

I really wanted to launch our children into the blue clay lake of Inal Bay and take spectacular photos. But the weather in the last days of September of this year was not conducive to swimming in cold mud.

However, they say that no one has studied the properties of this particular blue clay. Like the microbiological composition of the lake. But it wouldn’t hurt, considering how many people can be there at the same time, and how many vacationers pass by holiday season through mud lake Inal bay.

However, you don’t even have to climb into the lake to experience the effect of clay. Pebbles of blue clay, rolled by the sea, lie along the entire coast. It is easy to distinguish them from ordinary stones - they crack in the sun.

But they mine it in the Crimea. And in order to get a really pure product, for its extraction they go deep inside by 30-40 meters.

Due to its antiquity, clay has absorbed microelements, minerals of naturally processed ancient plants and organisms: fern, horsetail, marine life and others. When the state was still ruled by royalty, clay was worth its weight in gold. She was even taken from Crimean peninsula to other countries, since the sea was at hand. And just the layman could not afford to use such an expensive tool. This is how folk recipes for the face, hair based on nettle or burdock, marshmallow or hercules, aka oatmeal, hawthorn, wild rosemary, viburnum and other plants arose.

In the summer, many of us go to south seas, on estuaries (there are such on the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov), so that, having smeared with healing, but far from fragrant mud, cure rheumatism, sore joints, arthritis. But usually there is not enough money or time for this, or dachas with vegetable gardens fill our vacation. It's okay, because there is blue clay. Properties and application for joints of clay are practically not inferior to mud from estuaries. So take care and don't get sick.

There is information that blue clay can also be taken orally for anemia, cystitis, ulcers, urethritis, cirrhosis, adnexitis. Is the information correct? Clay is a completely natural product. Why not? But it's still worth talking to your doctor. And if you take clay as a medicine, then thoroughly crush it in a mortar, and then sift it in the sun in calm weather.

The sea and the beach near Inal Bay

It was built from small pebbles, which has its advantages - the bottom near the shore is very even, it smoothly goes into the depths, there are no visible dips or holes, as well as rocky ledges. You can relax here even with small children. The beach itself is not popular as a place to relax, so you can sunbathe here even at the height of the season in seclusion - tourists, for the most part, come here to the bay.

The Inal bay itself is striking in its beauty - the water in it, thanks to rock, from which the bottom and the beach are composed, has an unusual crystal blue color. A large layer of blue clay comes out directly into the water, which is washed away by healing springs - because of this, a small lake is formed at the foot of the mountain - a natural "mud bath".
