Therapeutic mud of the Krasnodar region. Golubitskoe mud lake What diseases does mud treat?

One of which is located in village Golubitskaya one hundred meters from the seashore. Golubitskoe mud lake - unique monument nature, which is a body of salt water and mineral deposits at the bottom. The lake stretched no less than almost 500 meters in length and about 150 in width. It is separated from the sea by a low sand and shell mound, through which storm winds carry seashells and microorganisms. Deposited at the bottom of the reservoir, they gradually saturate the soil with useful minerals. Many people come here purposefully for the healing properties of the mud of Golubitskoye Lake..

Let's figure out what's useful in this dirt. It is important to understand that not all the mud in the lake is healing. You need top layer of black silt- the same one that has a specific “repellent” smell of hydrogen sulfide. He's the one most useful and rich in bromine, iodine and other trace elements. Near the shore, its layer is small, so you need to go as far as possible to get mud. The depth of the lake is shallow and allows you to walk quite far. You should smear mud on your body, not your swimwear, otherwise it will be difficult to wash off. You should also be careful about the area near the heart - it is better not to touch it at all. You need to keep the mud on your body until it dries completely - about 10-15 minutes, no more, and then wash it off in the warm waters of the lake or walk to the sea and swim in it. There are usually a lot of “mud bathers” on the beach, so no one pays attention to them.

Mud therapy has anti-inflammatory, absorbable and bactericidal effects, helping to get rid of a whole range of diseases. Here are just some of them: rheumatism, arthritis, polyarthritis, joint injuries, diseases of the genitourinary system, infertility, radiculitis, ENT diseases, skin diseases. However, one should not forget about contraindications, since dirt has a very powerful effect and, if used incorrectly, can aggravate the condition of the body. It is not recommended to engage in mud therapy for people with heart disease, tuberculosis, tumors, high blood pressure or temperature. In any case, before starting a course of treatment, you should consult your doctor.

Many have experienced healing properties mud, trying to take her with them. The mud does retain its properties, but it is better to transport it dry, having previously evaporated all the water from the mass.

Golubitskoe mud lake is rightfully considered the hallmark of the village. Not only is it popular as a place of miraculous healing powers, but it is also beautiful in its own right. Scenic view It opens onto it from the hills, and the proximity of a well-maintained sea beach allows you to get all the pleasures at once: healthy swimming in the lake and relaxing on the seashore. The water in the lake warms up very quickly and is always warm, so children especially love to swim here. And in addition to medical procedures, you can arrange evening walk on the surface of the lake on pedal boats.

There is a strange place on the Azov Sea - Tizdar, quite a spa resort with healing mud under open air. Many people know him Krasnodar region and, as it turned out, beyond. People come here to improve their health, have fun and diversify their impressions of a holiday at sea. A great mood on Tizdar is guaranteed for everyone.

Once, while relaxing in a sanatorium in Anapa, I took mud baths. I really liked the procedures, the effect was noticeable - I felt very comfortable after them, as if I had been recharged with energy. The sanatorium's advertising brochures indicated that mud treats many diseases, cleanses the skin, and is very effective in cosmetology. Our roommate, a professional cosmetologist, confirmed the value of mud baths and said that doctors take mud from the Tizdar volcano. She herself uses this healing mud in her work - it contains a lot of hydrogen sulfide, bromine, and iodine. She advised me to go straight there: only 50 km from Anapa. She promised that the mood after the trip would be excellent.

There are various ways to get to Tizdar. In Anapa, all excursion bureaus offer organized trip on Tizdar. But you can go on your own, especially since now comfortable hotels have been built in settlements near Tizdar where you can stay for several days.

For example, luxury 4* boarding house "Tizdar" where you can relax in comfort.

Therefore, upon arriving at Anapa airport or arriving by train at railway station city, take a bus to the Anapa bus station. From there, take a regular bus to Temryuk. A minibus runs from the Temryuk bus station to the village of Za Rodinu. If you get there from Krasnodar, you need to turn in the direction of Temryuk. From there, go past the village of Golubitskaya to Peresyp. Then to the village of For the Motherland. Along the federal highway there are signs for all of these settlements. The route to Tizdar has become very popular recently, so it is easy to navigate on the road.

We left early in the morning by car from Anapa towards Temryuk. In summer, the endless expanses of the Kuban open up to your eyes: on one side there are sunflower fields, on the other - wheat fields. Lots of vineyards.

Along the road there are several small markets selling Kuban vegetables, fruits and berries. There are especially many delicious cherries, strawberries and grapes in these places during the season. Lakes appear on the left, where fishermen's boats can be seen in the reed thickets. These places are known to all fish lovers. Our goal was to look at the Temryuk city market. We are all fish and crayfish lovers. And here they are the cheapest, largest and always fresh. We bought crayfish - after Tizdar, in a coastal cafe they asked us to boil them. We ate to our heart's content..

We pass by the village of Golubitskaya, where the crocodile farm is located.

We are approaching Peresyp, there is only 1 km left to the village of Za Rodinu, where the volcano is located. Entrance fee to the village and, accordingly, to the volcano is 400 rubles. This includes using the mud lake, showering, visiting the zoo, playgrounds, and swimming in the sea.

The first steps towards the volcano - and the mood rises sharply.

A huge, almost monotonous, moving mess. Merging with the gray-blue mud, they move human bodies. Everyone points their fingers at each other and bursts into loud laughter. But we also went for health. We change clothes: we were warned to take old swimsuits with us and definitely not light ones, because... dirt affects the fabric.

Slowly up the steps and we enter the slurry. You can't feel the bottom. They say that science does not know how deep it is here. Feeling of weightlessness. You can fool around, lie down, as is customary at the sea or river. Your mood improves, and it doesn’t matter in what form you appear to others. The mud leveled everyone: young and old, women and men.

Tizdar appeared in Taman a hundred years ago, after a volcanic eruption. A healing mud lake with a diameter of 25 meters arose in the crater. No depth data available. But scientists have determined that healing mud is renewed every day.

After the mud baths, everyone takes a shower and, laughing, shares their impressions of their stay in unusual lake. In the cafe we ​​drank tea from local herbs.

Then we went for a dip in the Azov Sea, the beach is just 300 meters from the volcano. The beach is very comfortable: it consists of fine sand and shell rock. Along the coast there are houses where vacationers stay for several days.

It's good here, calm. You can have a good rest with children.

Cafe where you can have lunch

If you get tired of relaxing by the sea, you can go to an ostrich farm, taste Taman wine at a winery, in specialized halls, visit cognac factory in Temryuk.

There is even a crocodile farm in the village of Golubitskaya. Fishing enthusiasts go to floodplains and lakes. These places are famous for their big catch. Here you can find ram, pike, pike perch, and crucian carp. Early in the morning, fresh, dried and smoked fish can be bought at the village markets. A very large selection of fresh and cheapest fish in the region in Temryuk itself.

It turned out that Tizdar is not the only volcano on Taman. Not far from Peresyp there are volcanoes: Karabetova Mountain, Rotten Mountain, Mount Miska. There are also therapeutic mud baths here.

We returned from Tizdar in high spirits, rested, cleansed of our own dirt, and recharged with energy. Along the way we bought fish, vegetables and fruits. And, of course, everyone carried with them a bag of healing gray-blue mud from the Tizdar volcano.

What do you know about peloid therapy? Peloid therapy is the oldest method of therapy therapeutic mud what is popularly called mud therapy. This healing technique has been known since time immemorial and back in the 16th century. The Roman polymath writer Pliny wrote that on the Crimean land there is mud that can heal.

The Italians began to use mud as a method of treatment in the 16th century, and in Rus' they were able to discern mud only in the 18th century. Today mud therapy– a very popular method of therapy, and especially attracts tourists. There are more than 300 locations of healing mud in Russia, a considerable number of which predominate in the Krasnodar Territory, or more precisely on the Taman Peninsula.

There are two types of medicinal mud on the Taman Peninsula: silt (mud lakes) and volcanic (mud volcanoes). The composition and beneficial properties of these muds differ. They say that the mud from the lakes is more beneficial.

Mud lakes

Solenoye, Golubitskoye, Markitanskoye– mud lakes, which the village of Taman is rich in. – located in the south of the Taman Peninsula, with the largest reserves of healing mud than in Golubitsky and Markitansky. - located near the village of Golubitskaya, on the Sea of ​​​​Azov. The healing mud of this lake is located in the middle of the lake at the very bottom, and you can only get to it by diving headlong into the very center of the lake. Markitanskoye Lake - located in the eastern part, 5 km from Taman, the reserves of this lake are not large, but very useful. All three lakes are dominated by huge amounts of hydrogen sulfide, salts, bromine and iodine. Also on the Taman Peninsula you can count more than 30 mud volcanoes.

Salt Lake

Taman Peninsula– not only a healing place, but also a great place family vacation. Here you will find a lot of exciting, interesting and entertaining things for yourself. If you are planning a vacation in the village of Taman, be sure to visit the mud lakes, but remember the contraindications to this method of treatment.

How to get to Taman by car.

For those traveling from Moscow, we advise you to use a detour route: Along the M4 highway in the Kislyakovskaya area, turn onto the secondary road to the right. The road is of decent quality and there are significantly fewer cars. Thus, your route will look like this: Kislyakovskaya - Leningradskaya - Kanevskaya (it’s better to take the bypass road) - Timashevsk - Staronizhesteblievskaya - Poltavskaya - Slavyansk-on-Kuban - Anastasievskaya (bypass) - Temryuk, then to your destination.

Detour route: Moscow – Taman (marked with a red line)

The distance from Moscow to Taman is 1556 km.

If you decide to vacation in Anapa, Vityazevo or other nearby resort areas. You can easily get to the Taman Peninsula as part of an excursion or by your own car.

The distance from Anapa to Taman is 80 km.

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

The lake itself is quite large, 500-odd meters long, up to 140 meters wide (the area of ​​the lake is 0.6 km2) and up to 1.5 meters deep. In summer, due to the evaporation of water, the level in the lake decreases 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 bay through which, during storms, shells, small crustaceans and microorganisms, die off and create a special mud layer at the bottom. Their remains oxidize and decompose as a result of the activity of benthic microorganisms.

Due to the underground connection with the sea and the annual overflow of sea water into the lake, chemical composition its waters are similar in composition to the water of the Sea of ​​Azov and belong to one type of magnesium-sodium chloride waters. But unlike the sea, the water in Lake Golubitskoe 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 content of salts in the water of the Sea of ​​​​Azov. The active reaction of the water in the lake is alkaline.

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

The mud of Lake Golubitskoye is similar to the mud of the Kuyalnitsky estuary, however, it contains more Fe (HS)2 and organic substances, and in the solid phase there is almost no gypsum and less calcium and magnesium carbonates.

The exploitable reserves of medicinal mud from Golubitskoye Lake are 18 thousand m3, or about 25 thousand tons.

Composition of mud solution of silt sulfide mud.

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

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

Also, it is necessary to remember that black dirt, like any medicine, has contraindications in some cases (for example, it cannot be used for fibroids). The dosage is also important! Always remember that if you abuse dirt, it can harm the body.

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

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

And these are the reviews from vacationers:

“When we anointed our feet and hands with healing mud, a slight tingling sensation appeared in the joints. Then my leg became a little numb and after a few minutes, all the pain went away. The feeling after the treatment procedure is light. The skin became smooth and soft. The mud of the lake affects each person differently. The main thing is that dirt should not be left on the skin for long. It is difficult to wash off, but you can take a washcloth with you - with its help, the dirt is washed off faster.”

“How do you understand that dirt or you haven’t reached the healing stage yet? It's simple: when you walk along the bottom of Lake Golubitskogo, the soil under your feet is solid - it's still simple earth, but as soon as you start to sink a little - it's healing mud. It is viscous and has a slight smell.”

They also say that this lake is mentioned in chronicles. What’s more, during the Zaporozhye Sich, the Cossacks had a hospital here, where they treated cut and chopped wounds received in battle. The chronicles of that time tell 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 is that the clay of Golubitskoye Lake has strong medicinal properties- a scientifically proven fact.

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

It is active and erupts every 6-8 years. The last eruption was in the Velvet season– in September 2011. The sea suddenly began to boil and began to throw up dark streams of mud. The volcano's emissions were very strong - they reached 50 m and lasted about 40 minutes. Before this, the volcano “awakened” in the summer of 2008.

Golubitsky mud volcano

Observations of the volcano and recording of its activity have been carried out since the time of Catherine II. The first time the eruption was filmed was in 1994.
