Analog of the Dead Sea in Russia

Russia is one of the largest states of the globe and where, as not on its territory, to initially search for these relics.

1. The largest analogue of the dead sea in Russia is the salt lakes of Sol-Iletska, located in the Orenburg region at an altitude of more than one hundred and twenty meters above sea level. The area occupied by the complex is 53 hectares. The composition of the lake water is unique and endowed with not only a high concentration of salt, but also a wide range of minerals.

Five years ago the beaches were "wild", not equipped. Lovers had little time to relax. To date, the territory of salt lakes is rented by private individuals. On the fenced coast the resort complex is created, the entrance to which is paid. The ticket price is 100 rubles.

The season of swimming in the healing waters of Sol-Iletska opens in June, but the peak influx of tourists falls on the second summer month and until mid-August. In the hottest days the beaches of the lake fill from 25 to 30 thousand people.

The salt of the lake as a lens makes it possible to enhance the effect of ultraviolet rays on the enzymes of the skin and a smooth chocolate tan quickly cover the body of sunbathers. Therefore, after bathing, they do not rush to wash the remains of salts from their bodies. Water makes the human skin supple, velvety, renewed, enriching with nutrients.

But not only an amazing tan attracts visitors. People go also to take a course of treatment, the minimum duration of which is seven days.

Indication of the use of medicinal baths:

• Lesions of the epidermis: eczema (excluding wet eczema), atopic dermatitis, allergic rash, psoriasis.
• Neuroses, irritability, insomnia.
• Apathy, the decline of vitality.
• Inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs in women.
• Inflammation of the prostate and other organs of the genital area of men.
• Vascular diseases: the recovery period after thrombophlebitis, bypassing the acute stage (not earlier than two months after the relief of severe manifestations).
• Infiltrates, adhesions, formed after the transferred operations, injuries, injuries, infections. Exception is tuberculosis.
• Arthritis, arthrosis, bursitis, spondylarthrosis, polyarthritis (without a tuberculosis source).
• Osteochondrosis and osteomyelitis.
• And some other diseases.

The complex of Sol-Iletsk provides its visitors with a comfortable and safe holiday. Beaches are equipped with sun loungers and showers. On the territory there is a medical center, several restaurants, cafes and many bars where you can eat and hide from the heat.

2. In the Pallasovskiy district of the Volgograd region there is one of the largest mineralized lakes of the World - Elton. By its composition, it can be called an analogue of the dead sea in Russia. The reservoir is practically round in shape and covers an area of 152 km2. Its depth varies significantly throughout the year from 1.5 meters in the spring period, to five to seven centimeters in the summer. The source of supply of the inland reservoir is seven mineralized rivers and several underwater springs.

In the spring, salt brine, getting diluted with water, becomes less concentrated. In summer, after a significant evaporation, the quantitative component of salts and minerals increases.

The balneological resort, which has been located since 1910 on the shores of the lake, still takes care of everyone who wants to improve their health. For therapeutic purposes, they use an amazing climate, and rare sodium-chloride-magnesium water, brine and mud.

Useful properties of salts and mud of Lake Elton are comparable and in no way inferior to products of the Dead Sea.

Indications:

• Disease of joints and connective tissues:
  • Rheumatoid and professional polyarthritis.
  • Gout.
  • Deforming osteoarthritis.
  • Spondylarthrosis.
  • Infectious-allergic polyarthritis.
  • Osteoarthritis.
  • Intervertebral osteochondrosis.
  • Traumatic arthritis.
  • And others.
• Failure in exchange processes:
  • Set of excess weight.
  • Diabetes.
  • Pathology of soft tissues.
• Inflammatory processes of the musculoskeletal system:
  • Myositis.
  • Bursits.
  • Post-thrombophlebitic syndrome.
• ENT diseases:
  • Rhinitis.
  • Laryngitis.
  • Pharyngitis.
  • Otitis.
• Lesions of the gastrointestinal tract:
  • Duodenal ulcer.
  • Colitis of a chronic nature, gastritis, enterocolitis.
  • Liver dysfunction.
  • Inflammation of bile ducts.
  • Pathological failure in the central and peripheral nervous system:
  • Radiculitis of the lumbar and sacral region of various genesis.
  • Complications after craniocerebral injury.
  • Infection lesions (meningitis, encephalitis) and their consequences.
• Gynecological pathologies:
  • Failures in the work of female genital organs (violation of the cycle).
  • Inability to become pregnant.
  • Climax (menopause).
  • Infiltrates formed after surgical intervention.
  • Pathology of the ovaries.
• Problems of male health:
  • Infertility.
  • Inflammation of the prostate.
  • Loss of male power (impotence).
• Disease of the epidermis:
  • Neurodermatitis.
  • Eczema (except for wet wounds).
  • Psoriasis.
• And some others.

But the healing waters of Lake Elton can not be called a panacea for all diseases. Before deciding on medical water procedures, it is necessary to consult with your attending physician, as they have their own contraindications.

• Absolutely all diseases in the period of exacerbation.
• Malignant neoplasms are cancer.
• Hypertension.
• Tuberculous tissue lesions.
• Indices of low blood coagulability.
• Frequent bleeding of various genesis.
• Pregnancy and lactation.
• Diseases of a mental nature.
• Chronic alcoholism.
• Diseases of the blood.
• Addiction.

3. The pearl of the Altai Territory can be called Lake Bolshoy Jarovoy, located near the town of Slavgorod and Yarovoe. Due to its medicinal properties, its water and mud are known far beyond the borders of the Edge. Large Yarovoy on many physical and chemical characteristics can be called an analogue of the Dead Sea.

The waters of the lake are rich in bromine, sodium, hydrogen sulphide, other water-soluble salts. The insignificant amount of organic material, which is subject to oxidation, allows not to lose its medicinal properties. The mud of the pond is rich in iron sulphides. Coming into contact with hydrogen sulphide, passing complex chemical, physical and biological reactions, they create a basic component of sulphide silt formations used to treat many diseases. Plastic velvety consistency is easily applied to the skin, making it more elastic.

The basis of dirt is a complex lipid product with high antibacterial, antifungal activity. Has a calming, anti-inflammatory effect on the human body. Can increase the body's defenses. The adsorption characteristics of the lake's water and mud actively influence the pathogenic flora, they exhibit de-toxication properties.

4. Lake Tus in Khakassia. The name in translation from Khakassky sounds like Sol. Once here it was mined, but over time, the prey was turned off, and the lake became a favorite place of rest and treatment for many people.

Due to the high salt concentration, water has a high density and a mineralization level of 187.7-248.7 grams per liter of water. Today, the water and mud of the lake is widely used to treat many diseases.

5. An analogue of the dead sea in Russia is the salt lake Baskunchak of the Astrakhan region. Baskunchak's brine contains about 37% salt, and the air is rich in bromine ions and fungicides. The brine of the reservoir contains a sodium-chloride base and is enriched with micro and macro elements.

The products of the lake are characterized by high analgesic, antispasmodic, and anti-inflammatory qualities. Due to their unique properties, silt deposits effectively help to normalize the circulatory system, drainage of lymph and trophic.

Analog of the Dead Sea in Essentuki

• At the turn of Kalmykia and the Stavropol Territory there is the salt-bitter Lake Manych-Gudil, the length of which is 150 km. Manych-Goodilo is a Russian analogue of the dead sea.

Water with a high salt content has remarkable healing properties. Mud, enriched with salts and hydrogen sulfide ions, resembles thick sour cream in consistency. The presence of ferrous sulphate gives it an anthracite color. Studies have shown that hydrogen sulphide in the ooze is contained in adapted therapeutic concentrations, imparting mud therapeutic antibacterial properties. Lipid constituents of mud make it suitable for therapeutic and preventive use.

• The Tambukan and Lysogorsk lakes located on the territory of the Stavropol Territory are analogues of the dead sea in essentuki. The water of these lakes is dominated by chloride and sulfate salts, the content of which varies from 7 to 347 g in one liter of water.

The mud of this basin is known for its medicinal properties since the end of the 19th century and is widely used both in medicine and in cosmetology.

Thanks to microorganisms living in the waters and the silt part of lakes, mud is widely enriched with humic, biothermodynamically stable compounds, minerals, lipid fractions, sulfur dioxide. Similar in composition to the products of the Dead Sea, the therapeutic balneological mud of Essentuki is still quite in demand.

Analog of the Dead Sea in Ukraine

The whole world knows about the amazing healing properties of water, mud and air in the water area of the Dead Sea. It is quite impressive to get a list of diseases that can be treated. But many do not even realize that Ukraine is rich not only with its fertile land and forests, but also with unique rivers and lakes. It is not necessary to go on a long journey, spending huge money to get better.

1. Lake Sasyk-Svash, located on the territory that separates the cities of Saki and Evpatoria of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea - is analogous to the dead sea in Ukraine.

Its depth is not large, only one and a half meters, but the curative mud of the lake made it the most famous and sought-after balneological resort of the country. In addition to salts, minerals and microelements, the waters and muddy sediments of the lake are rich in biogenic activators, which are excellent stimulators of immune processes in the human body. Lipid compounds impart lake products with active anti-inflammatory and bactericidal characteristics.

2. To the same group, according to its characteristics, the neighboring Mojnaki Lake also belongs. Both saline ponds are considered to be the best not only in their own country, but throughout Europe.

Highly mineralized brine, healing muddy deposits brought him the reputation of the balneological resort. The lake water is rich in magnesium, potassium and sodium salts, a wide spectrum and trace elements (manganese, gold, strontium, uranium, arsenic and others). The yellowish color of the brine and a sharp unpleasant smell give out the presence of hydrogen sulphide in it. The content of salt fractions is approximately 150 - 180 grams in one liter of water. The presence of uranium isotopes in it gives the mud layers signs of radioactivity (in therapeutic concentrations), which further enhances the effect of its application.

Baths and mud applications affect all components of the body as a powerful stimulant:

• Strengthen the blood circulation.
• Stimulate to work the peripheral and central nervous system.
• Activate metabolic and metabolic processes.
• Have analgesic, sedative, anti-inflammatory effect.
• Effective dissolving adhesions.

3. Solotvyne lakes (there are about ten of them) and the largest of them is Kunigunda Lake near the city of Solotvyno in the Transcarpathian region, one of the cheapest but no less worthy competitors is the analogue of the dead sea in Ukraine.

The salinity of lakes is equivalent to 200 ppm. The temperature values of the lake's water do not fall below the mark at 17 degrees and do not rise above 27. Such refreshing mineralized baths will become an excellent supporting therapy for heart diseases. The products of the lake have a beneficial effect on the skin, arresting multiple of its diseases. The bath perfectly stimulates the total blood flow and microcirculation of the blood plasma.

The waters of the lake have a beneficial effect on the respiratory system, they allow to restore the full-fledged work of the peripheral and central nervous system. They will receive help and joints, bone and connective tissues from her.

4. Lake Repnoe near Slavyansk, Donetsk region. The degree of mineralization is about 15 grams per liter. Depression of karst origin. The maximum depth is seven and a half meters. Temperatures in the summer are kept within 22-25 ° C. The lap of the lake can be attributed to the sodium-chloride-sulfate type.
5. Lake Donuzlav in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. The deepest pond in the peninsula (up to 10 meters). Salt mineral water (in the southern part of the lake) is one of the five best analogues of the dead sea in terms of its chemical composition. In the northern part of the reservoir it is fresh. On the component composition of mud Lake Donuzlav is akin to the muddy sediments of Moinak Lake.
6. Lake Sivash (or Rotten Sea) Gulf of the Sea of Azov in the Kherson region. In this lake there is so much salt that there are places where the protruding salt pillars allow them to walk, not soaking their feet - so high is the density of water. The maximum concentration of salt is differentiated in the western part of the lake. In the same area, layers of healing silt were found. The chemical composition of mud can constitute a worthy competition to the muddy formations of the Dead Sea. Due to this, along the shoreline of the reservoir, mud baths were opened in their day.

Analog of the Dead Sea in Europe

Not poor in salty lakes and Europe.

1. The Sovata Lakes in Romania is analogous to the Dead Sea in Europe. Since time immemorial, people have noticed and used the healing properties of water and mud of these reservoirs. The Sovata complex consists of seven lakes: Alunis, Verde (Green), Ursu, Merlei (Drozdovoe), Negru (Black), Roshu (Krasnoe), Sherpeluy (Serpentine).

Water can be attributed to the chloride-sodium type with a degree of mineralization from 77 to 260 grams per liter, so it is not recommended to move and stay in it for more than 15 minutes. Sapropel mud of reservoirs also have a high healing effect.

Bathrooms, inhalations, irrigation, applications, wraps, peeling are the few procedures that are ready to provide resorts in Romania to everyone who wants to improve their health.

2. There is an analogue of the Dead Sea and in Spain. The Salinas de Torrevieja and La Salina de la Mata lakes have no rivals in Europe in terms of their rich chemical composition. They are located in the south-east of the country near the seaside town of Torrevieja. Thanks to the algae living in their waters, the waters of Salinas de Torrevieja are painted in an unusual pink color, while La Salina de la Mata has green color. The beneficial climate and products of the lake allow to maintain health to people who suffer from diseases of the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal system. Skin diseases, recovery from injuries and fractures, problems with joints and the respiratory system - all this effectively cures the water and mud of these unique lakes.

Analog of the Dead Sea in Asia

One can not ignore the other part of Eurasia. Salt Lake Issyk-Kul, located in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan at an altitude of 1600 meters above sea level - analogue of the dead sea in Asia. The degree of salinity changes from the season: from 67 g / l in winter, reaching 236 g / l in summer, which makes it a full competitor to the products of the Dead Sea.

1. Drowning in the waters of Issyk-Kul simply does not work thanks to the high saturation of water with salt concentrates. To date, Issyk-Kul extracts three types of silt: blue, black and green.

High mineralization makes it possible to treat:

• Diseases of the musculoskeletal system (black mud).
• Gynecological problems (green mud).
• Skin diseases (blue mud).
• Cosmetology: rejuvenating masks (blue mud).

2. Lake Masazir in Azerbaijan. This reservoir is located near Baku in the Karadag district. The water of this unique reservoir in its chemical composition has large concentrations of chlorides and sulfates. A gently pink shade of water is given by microorganisms living in its depths. Healing air, water and mud deposits of Lake Mazazir have long been used by tourists and locals to treat many diseases.

The waters and mud of the Dead Sea are the pearl of Israel. The whole world knows about their medicinal properties. But look around, maybe you live in a row with the same unique place - the analogue of the dead sea? And before you go to the far end of the world for treatment, it is better to find out your homeland. This will give pride to your country and will substantially preserve the content of your wallet.
