Burgas Salt Pans & Mud Baths
Highlight • Structure
Blye is a product of salt harvesting (salt extraction) and contains only inorganic substances – sodium chloride, magnesium, potassium, sulfur, etc. It is obtained after evaporation and concentration of salts in the lake water during the salt extraction process.
Black Sea brine has proven medicinal properties – it is used in the treatment and prevention of diseases related to the musculoskeletal system, skin inflammations and wounds, varicose veins, and colds. It is recommended for osteoarthritis, arthritis, tendonitis, discopathy, joint dislocation, and sciatica. It is best not to sit in the brine for more than 20-30 minutes to avoid overloading the heart. It is not recommended for the treatment of skin diseases or for cosmetic purposes. It is contraindicated for the epidermis and subcutaneous tissue.
Therapeutic mud is a sedimentary product of the closed salt lake. It is clean and homogeneous, dark gray to black in color and has the odor of hydrogen sulfide from the numerous putrefactive microorganisms. It contains inorganic compounds such as silicates, sand, gypsum, iron and aluminum compounds, various hydroxides, and salts. This composition has been formed for thousands of years by the putrefaction of single-celled organisms, algae, fish, crabs, and mussels. One centimeter of healing mud is formed over a period of at least one year.
The essence of the healing mud treatment is a complex effect on the entire peripheral nervous system. Its thermal properties dilate blood vessels and open new capillaries. This reduces swelling and pain, heals and injures scars, and improves metabolic and regenerative processes.
In addition to healing, the mud beautifies and rejuvenates, as calcium, iodine, phosphorus, and other minerals pass through the skin. It treats almost the entire spectrum of skin diseases, arthritis, herniated discs, gynecological problems, and plexitis. It is only contraindicated in cases of tuberculosis, sexually transmitted diseases, and malignant diseases.
Apply the healing mud to all or part of the body and let it dry in the sun. Do not apply the mud to the heart area. You can apply it to the face, but it is not recommended to apply it to the entire head. Once the mud has dried on the skin, wash it off with seawater.
