Inal Bay

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, into which 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.

The water in the blue clay lake of 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.

Visiting the lake is free. Although earlier in Inal Bay they took money from those who wanted to heal their joints and rejuvenate.

In summer the lake is full of people. Children frolic, adults smear themselves 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 the skin begins to pull slightly (not until the blue clay cracks), and only then 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 away the clay directly in the sea waves.

Inal Bay

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

However, they say that no one has studied the properties of this particular blue clay. As is 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 through the mud lake of Inal Bay during the holiday season.

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

When Russians are in the cities of Anapa, Temryuk, Stanitsa Golubitskaya and other nearby populated areas Black and Azov Seas, numerous excursions are offered on the street, including mud treatment. The object is a pit with gray mud, where you need to go down the stairs into the mud on a slippery wooden flooring for about 10 minutes. The mud is warm, thick, there is no bottom, that is, you don’t feel it, it’s impossible to drown, it’s as if you are being pushed up . It is difficult to move along it; it is better not to go too far from the stairs. Then you need to carefully get out, walk with your legs moving apart to the road, and then to the sea, where the dirt is washed off. Then there are showers, where you wash yourself with tap water.

Green clay, red and black clay, blue clay. We see them in stores, in salons, where we can be offered clay wraps, face and hair masks. Clays vary in color and effect. Blue clay will help you cope with many problems, which we will now tell you about.

From the depths of the Crimean bowels

The official name of this clay is Cambrian blue clay, the properties and uses of which we will describe below. And it’s scary to imagine that it’s 500 million years old. But they mine it in Crimea. And in order to get a truly pure product, they go 30-40 meters deep inside to extract it.

Due to its antiquity, clay has absorbed trace elements, minerals from processed naturally 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. It was even exported from the Crimean Peninsula to other countries, since the sea was at hand. But the average person could not afford to use such expensive means. And so they arose folk recipes for the face, hair based on nettle or burdock, marshmallow or rolled oats, also known as oatmeal, hawthorn, wild rosemary, viburnum and other plants.

Properties of blue clay, general information

Blue clay is half silica. It contains radium and cobalt, zinc, iron, calcium, phosphate, potassium, nitrogen and magnesium, manganese, molybdenum. All of them are perfectly absorbed by our body.

A reasonable question arises: if blue clay contains so many useful and necessary things, what does it cure?

Cosmetologists use blue clay to cleanse and tone the face.
Hairdressers advise their clients to make masks with blue clay to get rid of dandruff and brittle hair.
In spa salons they make both masks and clay wraps. Blue clay works wonders; reviews say that the effect of such procedures is noticeable even after the first time. To maintain the effect, you need to continue to keep in shape, and not indulge in gluttony and load your daily routine. Otherwise, you can alternate spa treatments with diets for a long time, drink apple cider vinegar or eat separate meals.
Doctors also did not ignore it and advise applying softened lumps of clay to sore and swollen joints.

Now let’s learn more about this miraculous substance.

Mud treatment

In the summer, many of us go to southern seas, to estuaries (there are such on the Sea of Azov) so that, after smearing themselves with healing, but far from fragrant mud, they can cure rheumatism, sore joints, and 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. The properties and use of clay for joints are practically not inferior to mud from estuaries. So get treatment 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 entirely natural product. Why not? But it’s still worth consulting a doctor. And if you take clay as medicine, then crush it thoroughly in a mortar and then sift it in the sun in calm weather.

According to other data, the minerals contained in blue clay prevent the appearance of tumors of various etymologies.

Try blue clay treatment for joints at home. Then neither work in the garden, nor active fitness and strength training will be scary. Make compresses with blue clay for your grandmother - she will be grateful and surprised when the aches in her bones go away.

When planning their vacation, thousands of people look for places where there are mud springs nearby. What attracts people with mud treatments? Many attribute to them miraculous properties, claiming that mud treatments help get rid of skin problems, infertility and even ulcers and colitis. Is this true, and is mud different from ordinary clay?

The composition of therapeutic mud is as follows. Mud solution is water with salts dissolved in it, organic substances and gases. The skeleton is a coarse part consisting of silicate particles, phosphates and carbonates of calcium, magnesium and other salts, gypsum, as well as large organic residues. A colloidal complex is a finely dispersed part consisting of organic and inorganic substances and organomineral compounds. In addition, the therapeutic mud contains a number of antibacterial substances and microorganisms. The main properties of therapeutic mud are their plasticity and high heat-retaining capacity, as well as antibacterial properties and the ability to adsorb microbes.

Due to the fact that there are microbes in the dirt, their vital activity produces hydrogen sulfide and ammonia derivatives. And the complex of these active substances has the ability to penetrate the skin.

The action of therapeutic mud is based on three factors. The first is temperature. Since mud has a low heat capacity and high thermal conductivity, it is able to retain heat for a long time and gradually transfer it to the body. The second is the mechanical factor. Friction between dirt and skin causes a beneficial effect (effect on the receptor apparatus of the skin and mucous membranes). The third is a chemical factor. Biologically active substances muds have high penetrating ability and trigger cellular reactions. Thus, the procedures increase blood circulation, help improve the movement of red blood cells in the blood, and therefore the transfer of oxygen to tissues, which improves metabolism. Therapeutic muds can also have an antimicrobial effect, which is explained by the content of antibiotic analogs in them.

Clay is a sedimentary rock containing a whole complex of substances. Therefore, clay is also used in mud therapy. But it is worth remembering that to achieve an optimal treatment result, a combination of all three factors of exposure to mud is necessary.

Also, the effect of mud therapy is determined primarily by chemical composition mud. Therefore, before starting treatment, you should consult a doctor so as not to cause harm to your health.

From the depths of the Crimean bowels

Due to its antiquity, clay has absorbed trace elements, minerals from naturally processed ancient plants and organisms: fern, horsetail, sea creatures and others. When the state was still ruled by royalty, clay was worth its weight in gold. It was even exported from the Crimean Peninsula to other countries, since the sea was at hand. But the average person could not afford to use such an expensive product. This is how folk recipes for the face and hair arose based on either burdock, or rolled oatmeal, or oatmeal, and other plants.

Properties of blue clay, general information

Blue clay is half silica. It contains radium and cobalt, zinc, iron, calcium, phosphate, potassium, nitrogen and magnesium, manganese, molybdenum. All of them are perfectly absorbed by our body.

A reasonable question arises: if blue clay contains so many useful and necessary things, what does it cure?

Cosmetologists use blue clay to cleanse and tone the face.
Hairdressers advise their clients to make masks with blue clay to get rid of dandruff and brittle hair.
In spa salons they make both masks and clay wraps. Blue clay works wonders; reviews say that the effect of such procedures is noticeable even after the first time. To maintain the effect, you need to continue to keep in shape, and not indulge in gluttony and load your daily routine. Otherwise, you can alternate spa treatments with diets for a long time, or sit on.
Doctors also did not ignore it and advise applying softened lumps of clay to sore and swollen joints.

Now let’s learn more about this miraculous substance.

Mud treatment

In the summer, many of us go to the southern seas, to estuaries (there are such on the Sea of Azov) in order to smear ourselves with medicinal, but far from fragrant mud, to cure rheumatism, sore joints, and 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. The properties and use of clay for joints are practically not inferior to mud from estuaries. So get treatment 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 an entirely natural product. Why not? But it’s still worth consulting a doctor. And if you take clay as medicine, then crush it thoroughly in a mortar and then sift it in the sun in calm weather.
