Mud lake in Golubitskaya. Stanitsa Golubitskaya - a mud lake by the sea and lotuses
Dolzhanskoe mud lake stretches along the Taganrog Bay in a huge gray-black isosceles triangle. The shores of the mud lake - low, flat - are very convenient for swimming. The length of the isosceles sides is 700 meters, the length of the third side is 600 meters. It belongs to the so-called dam lakes and in the past it represented an estuary. At present, a narrow, low spit "spit" separates the reservoir from the Taganrog Bay and by a dam (road) from the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov.
Healing mud (peloid) is a greasy silt that accumulates at the bottom of salty estuaries in the village of Dolzhanskaya. It consists of a mineral base (earth, sand, clay), overgrown and glued together with gelatinous organic substances. Dirt is formed as a result of decomposition of living organisms without oxygen. Sulfur, which is part of proteins, cannot be completely oxidized and is released in the form of hydrogen sulfide. The healing mud smells of hydrogen sulfide, but the concentration of this gas is low in it, so the complex smell of peloid does not cause disgust.
During strong southerly and south-westerly winds, the water in the sea rises strongly and the sea waters overflow into it. The lake has an oval shape, 2 km long and 700 meters wide. In the heat, 96% of the water supply evaporates. In dry years, the lake dries up completely. In spring, autumn and during precipitation, in summer it is usually filled with water. Groundwater brings sulfate salts to the lake. The waters of the Taganrog Bay are chloride salts. The healing mud is deposited along the shores of the reservoir. Its reserves, despite the long-term production period, are relatively large. In appearance, the dirt is an oily, like a cream, plastic, black mass with a strong smell of hydrogen sulfide.
In its structure, the mud of the Dolzhansky Lake is similar to the mud of the Saki, Mainaksky (Crimea), and Tambukansky (Caucasian Mineral Waters) lakes and is composed of a mud solution - 63.84%, a crystalline skeleton - 34.4%, and a colloidal complex - 1.76 %. In the solid crystalline phase, the mud consists of sodium, calcium and magnesium sulfates, carbonates and chlorides. The colloidal complex contains mainly colloidal iron sulfide hydrate in the amount of 8.5 - 15.9 grams per kilogram of dry mud. This hydrate, as well as hydrates of aluminum oxide, iron and give it medicinal properties. According to mechanical analysis, the dirt contains up to 74.1% of the smallest particles with a diameter of less than 0.01 mm. All these indicators characterize it as high quality, curative. Mud is harvested in the summer months for the whole year, delivered in containers, stored in mud storages under a layer of mineral water. Treatment is carried out using the method of applications (mud cakes), compresses.

Many diseases and consequences of injuries of the peripheral nervous system, especially: radiculitis, plexitis, polyneuritis, neuritis - infectious, rheumatic, due to poisoning; the consequences of poliomyelitis in children.
Contraindications for mud therapy
Bleeding of any origin;
active tuberculosis of any organs and tissues;
tumors;
high temperature;
pregnancy of all periods;
extreme exhaustion of the body and loss of strength;
violation of cardiac compensation, angina pectoris, mitral stenosis, atrial fibrillation, severe atherosclerosis, etc.
The course of mud therapy is 7-10 days. Inhabitants of the village of Dolzhanskaya and vacationers in the summer hold a local carnival - they smear themselves with mud from the lake and dance round the streets. Everyone - young and old. As part of the carnival, a Witch Congress and presentation of Dolzhan traditional medicine are held.
(in the Temryuk district of the Krasnodar Territory) its main attraction is the mud Golubitskoye lake with medicinal black mud.
The lake itself is quite large, 500 meters long, up to 140 meters wide (the lake area 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 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 up. It is separated from the water area of \u200b\u200bthe Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov by a small sand-shell spill through which, during storms, shells fall into the lake, small crustaceans and microorganisms whose dying off 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 the underground communication with the sea and the annual overflow of seawater into the lake, the chemical composition of its water is similar to that of the Azov Sea 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 the evaporation of water is maximum, its mineralization in the lake reaches 40 g / l, and in the off-season, diluted by storm and melt waters, it drops to 10 g / l, that is, it approaches the salt content in the water of the Azov Sea. The active reaction of the 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: upper black silt and underlying dark gray, which is underlain by gray clay 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 silts. For medicinal purposes is used upper 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 mud of Lake Golubitskoye is similar to the mud of the Kuyalnitsky estuary, however, they contain more Fe (HS) 2 and organic matter, and in the solid phase there is almost no gypsum and less calcium and magnesium carbonates.
The operational reserves of the therapeutic mud of the Golubitskoye Lake 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 to continue to be treated at home? " When delivered to mud baths over short distances, for example, a tank truck filled with curative mud, abundantly filled with water, is used. The water is then drained / evaporated leaving dirt. But a tanker truck and 50 km. way, another thing is a long road. On several occasions, people would take a full plastic bag of dirt and take it home by train or car. In the heat, in a closed container, the processes going on in the mud are accelerated many times, the mud begins to "ferment" and usually lead to a sad result. The eggplant explodes, soiling all the compartment (or car), people, and their belongings with dirt. In addition, black dirt is not easy to wash off. That is, continuous losses and frustrations.
But it turns out that you can transport dirt! Here is what Krasotkina I. Here is a short excerpt:
|
Mud is a liquid creamy mass. This is a ready-made remedy created by nature itself. But if this mud is not used immediately, suddenly, as it evaporates, it will lose all its healing substances, dry up and turn into huge dry masses? Scientists pondered over this problem, and their numerous experiments led to the conclusion: dry mud moistened with mineral or even plain tap water and, moreover, warmed up - is as healing as fresh liquid mud.
Dry mud has one major advantage: it is easier to transport. Dirt is usually packaged in special two-kilogram bags made of dense fabric and in this form is transported over long distances. The bag with mud is a rectangle divided by two seams into three longitudinal parts. It is used in whole or in parts, cutting them along the seams. Many hospitals, clinics, clinics, beauty salons now acquire medicinal mud in this form. You can also purchase sea mud (at a pharmacy or seafood store) and have a mud therapy course at your home. It is very convenient, inexpensive and just as effective as treatment at a spa or sanatorium. |
Also, it must be remembered that black mud, like any drug, has contraindications in some cases (for example, it cannot be used for fibroids). The dosage is just as important! Always remember that if you abuse dirt, it can harm the body.
And here are some snippets of what the locals say about black mud:
The locals also say that mud is most effective from June 15th to July 15th. But experts who study dirt argue that this is not the case. That mud, equally effective at any time of the year. And where there is an opportunity 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, there was a slight tingling sensation in the joints. Then my leg became a little numb and after a few minutes, all the pain was gone. The feeling after the treatment is light. The skin is smooth and soft. The mud of the lake affects every 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 have you not yet reached the therapeutic level? It's simple: when you walk along the bottom of Lake Golubitskoye, the soil under your feet is solid - this is still a simple land, but as soon as you began to sink a little, this is healing mud. It is viscous and has a slight odor. "
They also say that there is a mention of this lake in the annals. What else in the times of the Zaporozhye 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 the treatment with black clay, the 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 doing mud therapy, in specialized institutions, under the supervision of a specialist. In some diseases, dirt has contraindications and can cause significant harm to the body!

And it is separated from the sea by a little more than 50 m. Black viscous medicinal silt is under water, in the center of the lake. But this reservoir is shallow - up to 1.5 m, so it is convenient for both adults and children. Mud with a high content of bromine, iodine and hydrogen sulfide is used to treat diseases of the joints, skin, radiculitis, pyelonephritis and some other diseases. You can swim in the lake, or you can take air baths nearby, making mud applications.

Healing mud is a valuable resource that nature has generously endowed the lands of Crimea with. At the moment, about forty such deposits are known on the territory of the peninsula.
Numerous scientific studies prove the effectiveness of using silt mud for health purposes. Today this medical field has received the official name - balneology. In the Crimean sanatoriums and boarding houses, therapeutic mud is used to eliminate various diseases: arthritis, radiculitis, dermatitis, genitourinary system, and others.
What is the peculiarity of the mud lakes of the Crimea?
According to numerous studies, Crimean muds are of excellent quality, environmental friendliness and effective healing properties. They belong to the category of sulphide-silt deposits.
Most of the medicinal raw materials in Crimea are extracted from estuary mud lakes. Each of them has unique characteristics, both in composition and in terms of natural beauty:
chokrak lake. Located near Kerch, it is considered one of the best mud deposits in the world. Salt water contains no pesticides, heavy metals, harmful chemical compounds. The use of Chokrak mud helps to restore the nervous system, eliminate diseases of the genitourinary system, musculoskeletal system, and other ailments.
lake Donuzlav is the deepest mud lake in Crimea, 27 meters deep. At the bottom of the reservoir, located at Cape Tarkhankut, there are many meters of muddy deposits.
lake Moinaki in Evpatoria. The composition of the mud of this deposit is similar to the characteristics of the silt of the Donuzlavsky estuary. In both versions, the mud contains special biostimulants that help strengthen blood vessels, rejuvenate the skin, and get rid of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, reproductive system, and respiratory organs.
Saki lake. At the bottom of a very shallow and very salty estuary there is black mud, which is not inferior in properties to raw materials from the famous Dead Sea. The silt deposits are covered with a paw (cover water), which also has healing properties.
lake Sasyk-Sivash. This body of water, 14 km long, is famous for its exceptional beauty. Its waters are colored in an unusual pink tone. The reason for this is pink salt, which has healing properties. The air saturated with healing salt and iodine helps to restore the health of the respiratory system.
In addition to the mentioned deposits, it is worth noting other mud lakes of Crimea. The Evpatoria system includes the Adzhibaychik, Krubloe, Airchinskoe, Oyburgskoe lakes, Bogaili and Krugloye lakes. Tobechik, Ulunlar, Koyashskoye lake are located in the Kerch region.
Note for tourists
In addition to lakes, there are mud volcanoes on the peninsula. The most famous are Dzhau-Tepe and Bulganak hills. In the area of \u200b\u200bthe village of Shturmoe and near Sevastopol, deposits of medicinal clays were discovered.
When planning a health-improving vacation in Crimea, you should pay attention to other areas:
climatotherapy;
speleotherapy;
landscape therapy;
thermotherapy;
hydrotherapy;
other types of wellness procedures.
For detailed information on the various types of treatment with natural resources, please contact the staff of specialized boarding houses. The preliminary information will be provided by the data posted on thematic portals.
What do you know about peloid therapy? Peloid therapy Is the oldest method of therapy curative mud, which is popularly called mud therapy. This method of healing is known from the Poconian centuries and back in the 16th century. the Roman erudite writer Pliny wrote that there is dirt on the Crimean land that can heal.
The Italians began to use mud as a method of treatment in the 16th century, and in Russia they were able to see the mud only in the 18th century. Today mud therapy Is a very popular method of therapy, and especially attracts tourists. In Russia, there are more than 300 locations of healing mud, a considerable number of which prevail in the Krasnodar Territory, or rather on the Taman Peninsula.
There are two types of curative mud on the Taman Peninsula: silt (mud lakes) and volcanic (mud volcanoes). The composition and useful properties of these muds differ. They say that mud from the lakes is more beneficial.
Mud lakes
Salty, Golubitskoe, Markitanskoe - 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, rather than in Golubitsky and Markitansky. - is spread out not far from the village of Golubitskaya, on the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov. The healing mud of this lake is located in the middle of the lake at the very bottom, and you can get to it only by diving headlong in the very center of the lake. Markitan 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 a huge amount of hydrogen sulfide, salts, bromine and iodine. Also on the Taman Peninsula, you can count more than 30 mud volcanoes.
Salt Lake
Mud volcanoes
Tizdar, Hephaestus, Akhtanizovsky, Shugo - mud volcanoes, which are also numerous on the peninsula. is located on the territory of the "Islet of Health" complex in the village of Za Rodinu. The entrance to the complex is paid.

Mud volcanoes, lakes and other attractions of the Taman Peninsula
Taman Peninsula - not only a healing place, but also an excellent place for family holidays. Here you will find a lot of fun, interesting and entertaining for yourself. If you have to rest in the village of Taman, be sure to visit the mud lakes, but remember about the contraindications available to this method of treatment.
How to get to Taman by car.
For those traveling from Moscow, we recommend using the bypass route: On the M4 highway in the Kislyakovskaya area, turn onto a secondary road to the right. The road is of decent quality and there are much less cars. Thus, your route will look like this: Kislyakovskaya - Leningradskaya - Kanevskaya (it is better to go along the bypass road) - Timashevsk - Staronizhesteblievskaya - Poltavskaya - Slavyansk-on-Kuban - Anastasievskaya (bypass) - Temryuk, then to the destination.
Bypass route: Moscow - Taman (marked with a red line)
The distance from Moscow to Taman is 1556 km.
If you decide to relax in Anapa, Vityazevo or other nearby resort areas. You can safely get to the Taman Peninsula as part of an excursion or by your own car.
The distance from Anapa to Taman is 80 km.
