Treatment with Dead Sea mud: medicinal properties, how it will help for joints, gums, and periodontal disease

Dead Sea mud has healing properties. They are of sedimentary and peat origin. Healing mud has a complex composition; it contains almost all known mineral elements, which is why they are so useful for therapeutic and cosmetic procedures. Due to the high concentration of microelements, they are used for healing in diseases of internal organs, joints, and the musculoskeletal system.

The healing properties of Dead Sea mud

The main therapeutic feature is high thermal conductivity. Mud applications warm the desired area or organ, resulting in better penetration of beneficial substances. In addition, the thermal effect has the following positive effects:

dilation of blood vessels, which means better supply of oxygen and nutrients;
improving blood circulation in the body;
normalization of metabolic processes.

In addition, heating the skin increases the production of hormones, in particular endorphins, which results in improved immune function. In general, the use of therapeutic mud has the following positive effects on the body:

Improvement of gums in Crimea at the Saki resort

Some of the best sanatoriums in Russia that treat and prevent oral diseases are located on the territory of the Crimean Peninsula. The formation of first-class health resorts here became possible thanks to natural resources, which today are actively used for the benefit of health. Crimea has a special climate, which was formed due to its close location to the sea and the abundance of vegetation. Staying in such a climate and swimming in the sea helps strengthen the body, prevents common diseases and helps improve immunity. On the territory of the Crimean peninsula there are estuary lakes that serve as a source of medicinal mud and brine. For a disease such as periodontal disease, prevention and treatment is carried out using the following methods:

mud applications on the gums;
irrigation with brine solution;
physiotherapy using brine and mud;
manual and hardware massage of gums;
restorative procedures (sun and air baths, balneotherapy sessions).

Such an integrated approach to eliminating the disease allows you to achieve the main goal - to restore proper nutrition of the gums and periodontium, as well as prevent the re-development of the disease. At the Saki resort, the multidisciplinary sanatorium “Sakropol” welcomes guests, which also deals with the treatment of oral diseases. It is located next to Lake Saki, the silt mud and brine of which is considered the most valuable in the region.

The sanatorium has a mud therapy and balneotherapy department, as well as a hardware physiotherapy department. Its clients have access to the services of a diagnostic center, and they can also visit a dental office and get advice from specialists. Guests of the Sakropol sanatorium will have the opportunity not only to spend their vacation with health benefits, but also to enjoy their favorite resort entertainment. Not far from the Saki resort there are sandy beaches, natural attractions and entertainment centers, and here is also the largest water park in Crimea, “Banana Republic”.

Expert opinion

Tourism expert in Israel

Many people can feel an improvement in their condition only after undergoing a course of treatment with healing mud. As a rule, procedures are carried out in sanatorium-resort institutions, but if desired, a spa resort can be arranged at home.

But since mud has a powerful effect, it should be used only as prescribed by a doctor. In addition, there are a number of cases when the use of applications may be limited or completely contraindicated. Namely when:

acute form of inflammatory processes;
oncological and benign neoplasms;
diseases of the circulatory system;
late forms of diabetes;
high blood pressure;
disturbances in the functioning of the endocrine system;
jaundice;
bearing a child;
allergies and individual intolerances.

In some cases, the use of therapy is not recommended for patients over 60 years of age.

Symptoms

Most often, painful sensations occur during chewing or eating hot or cold food. Some patients complain of almost constant, aching or throbbing pain.

The inflammatory process can develop rapidly. In this case, the pain is usually sharp and severe. May be accompanied by swelling of the gums and swelling of the face. Sometimes the inflammation lasts for years, and since the patient does not experience severe pain, he delays the visit to the dentist, aggravating the situation.

Benefits for joints

Applications and compresses with Dead Sea mud help with joint diseases. They reduce pain, relieve inflammation and improve blood circulation in tissues. A course of compresses with mud accelerates recovery. Indications for treatment are all types of diseases and disorders:

all stages of rheumatoid arthritis;
polyarthritis of infectious origin;
deforming osteoarthritis;
osteochondropathy;
joint pain as a result of past injuries;
inflammatory processes;
all types of arthrosis;
fractures, sprains and dislocations.

The procedure for applying a compress consists of heating the paste with mud to the desired temperature and distributing it in an even layer on the affected area. Then the area is covered with plastic wrap and the patient with a warm blanket.

The procedure lasts about 20 - 30 minutes. It starts for a short period of time, then gradually increases. The course usually consists of 12 - 15 procedures performed every or every other day.

Expert opinion

Anna Lebedeva

Tourism expert in Israel

There are two types of treatment - intensive and gentle. The first involves heating the mud to 40 - 42C and applying it for 30 minutes. The course consists of 15 procedures, which are carried out every 2 - 3 days. A more gentle option means that also heated mud to 38 - 40C is applied for only 10 minutes. A total of 10 - 15 procedures are performed.

Often, mud therapy is one of the components of complex joint restoration, which is combined with anti-inflammatory and physiotherapy. As a result, healing occurs much faster.

As a result of mud therapy, lymph flow improves. Tissue nutrition becomes more active, pain is relieved, and water-salt metabolism is normalized. This way the function of the joint is restored.

Treatment methods for periodontal disease

It is difficult to completely cure periodontal disease using classical medicine methods; for some, it takes years to fight the disease. The most important goal of treatment is to restore healthy nutrition to the gums; when this goal is achieved, the disease will go away on its own. However, it is not always possible to identify the reason why periodontal nutrition has been disrupted. In this case, treatment of periodontal disease in adults is reduced to slowing down the course of the disease, but it is not possible to completely restore the function of the affected tissues. Common healing techniques used by classical medicine are:

drug therapy;
physical therapy;
phytotherapy;
gum massage;
laser therapy;
dental strengthening of mobile teeth;
use of special toothpaste and gels.

All of the above treatment methods have one drawback - the need for long-term use. Drug therapy is based on the use of drugs that enhance the nutrition of the gums, increase the elasticity of blood vessels, and also regulate metabolic and hormonal processes. It is difficult to select effective medications for periodontal disease due to existing contraindications and side effects, as well as the individual characteristics of the body.

Among the physical treatment procedures for periodontal disease, electrophoresis and phonophoresis remain in demand. They help normalize the oxygen balance in tissues, promote the removal of free radicals, and also reduce tissue hypoxia. Considering that physical therapy must be carried out directly on the gums, such procedures cause a lot of discomfort. A more modern method is laser therapy, as well as vacuum massage.

As a complement to the main treatment, herbal medicine is used - mouth rinsing balms prepared from natural herbs. Patients with periodontal disease need daily use of special toothpaste and other oral care products aimed at eliminating the causes of the disease. If the disease has reached a serious stage and some teeth have become mobile, you will need the help of a professional dentist. A common procedure for periodontal disease is splinting mobile teeth, which prevents their loss and further increase in interdental spaces.

How to cure gums from periodontal disease

Mud is often used to treat diseases of the oral cavity. They are especially often used for restoration of periodontal disease. The disease is manifested by high tooth sensitivity and atrophic changes in the gums. The patient cannot eat hot, cold or sour foods normally.

In this case, the mud has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, bactericidal and absorbable effects on the gums and oral cavity. All this happens thanks to the minerals and trace elements in the composition.

Treatment of periodontal disease is carried out according to the following scheme:

the paste is heated to 45C;
You can heat it up in hot water;
the required amount of dirt is applied to the affected areas of the gums, the mouth is closed;
the application on the affected area lasts 20 - 30 minutes;
then the paste must be removed and the mouth rinsed thoroughly;
the water must be boiled and warm;
the course of treatment is 14 days.

Hello, dear friends!

Today I want to record a video about periodontal disease and what to do about it. And periodontal disease is not acute, when the gums are inflamed, when blood flows, but about atrophic periodontal disease. Anyone who has it will understand me. This is when, for some unknown reason, the gums dissolve and the necks of the teeth become exposed. They become very painful. And after some time, a person’s teeth begin to loosen and fall out.

This disease is considered hereditary. There is a rejuvenation with each generation. Actually, this trouble happened to me. I was diagnosed with this at the age of 20. And then, little by little, the gums sank, and teeth became hypersensitive. At 35 years old, I could no longer eat apples, oranges, or grapes. I could only drink the juice through a straw so that, God forbid, the contents would not get on my gums. In general, the situation was very unpleasant. As time went. It was already felt that the teeth were not sitting firmly. I ran to the doctors. They shrugged. It’s unclear what to do with you. For some reason calcium is not absorbed. For some reason my gums are receding. I was offered surgery. One doctor said that it will help when they cut the gum and it rises and for some time prolongs the life of the teeth. I went to another doctor. She said that it was not a fact that the operation would help, because she personally had not seen anyone who would have been helped by this operation. And at the end of this epic of mine, I had stones in my teeth. I can't remove them with ultrasound. I went to the clinic with a request to remove these stones from my teeth with a scraper. But they told me that they only remove it with ultrasound and they no longer work with scrapers. They can't do anything for me. Go!

And so, in the summer of 2010, I sat on a bench in front of the dental clinic and realized that saving drowning people is the work of the drowning people themselves. Not long before this, I read L. Ron Hubbard's book, Clean Body, Clear Mind. There is a chapter on “Exchange Theory.” I won’t retell it now. I don't have a book at hand. But the point of what was discovered there is that the body stores substances that it lacks. Having decided to apply this in my own example, on such, I would say, a primitive issue like the deposition of tartar. On the one hand, yes - the body stores what it lacks and this is deposited in tartar, and secondly, it is obvious that the body lacks some salts, some minerals, because for some reason the bone tissue is dissolving. But, I must say that I took food supplements, in the form of minerals, in soluble form or in tablet form.

What to do? There is also a so-called local method of application. And then I had an epiphany! Where are the most salts and minerals found? What substance can be used as an application on the gums? The answer immediately came to me. This is Dead Sea mud! Here it is - the mud of the Dead Sea.

I immediately ran to a cosmetic store and found Dead Sea cosmetic mud there. The most important thing is that I was looking for without additives. There was dirt with propylene glycol and aloe juice. No no no! I was looking for pure dirt! In fact, I had an experiment. After brushing my teeth in the morning, or this was the first time in the evening, I simply took this dirt on my finger and began to very gently rub it into my gums. The first impression was terrible! Firstly, these are pebbles. Secondly, the mud seemed terribly salty and very bitter to me. Immediately the drooling begins to flow. snot, tears. In general, all liquids that can be released.

But I had nowhere to go. And I, so to speak, took my will into my fist and continued. I also thought: “I’ll probably have to live with a mouth full of dirt until the morning. But somehow I’ll get through this.” While I was walking from the bathroom to my bed, in Russia apartments are small - you don’t have to walk for long; when I reached the bed, I took a mirror and was surprised to find that there were no remnants of Dead Sea mud on my gums! I was very surprised by this.

Being a rather stubborn person, stubborn, so to speak, I started making applications like this in the morning and evening every day. What’s most interesting is that after 10 days, while brushing my teeth, I discovered that the sensitivity of the necks of my teeth became less. Because when you touch with a toothbrush, you no longer have that unpleasant feeling when you cringe and you are actually afraid to touch with a toothbrush. No, that didn't happen here.

About three weeks later I decided to eat an apple. Of course, I didn’t dare to bite for a long time. I cut the apple into pieces and then chewed it. I decided to experiment. A miracle has happened! When I ate this apple, I did not notice any hypersensitivity in the necks of my teeth. I didn’t need to rush to urgently brush my teeth, rinse somehow, so that later it wouldn’t all turn into some kind of terribly painful wound, some kind of terribly painful place. And now it’s autumn 2013 in our yard. I recently went to the dentist to have my teeth checked. And she asked me: “Tell me, what do you put in your gums?” She apparently saw some particles of dirt. I replied that I make applications with Dead Sea mud. She was surprised and asked why? I say: “Well, you see that I have periodontal disease. This is how I protect my gums, my necks and my teeth.” She told me that I do not have any periodontal disease. Visually, I have seen for a long time that almost all of my gums have risen. Only the fangs remained. And then it slowly rises there. There is no trace of any sensitivity in the necks of the teeth anymore. The mobility of teeth has stopped. I can now bite apples with my front teeth absolutely calmly. I eat everything - apples, oranges, grapes. I don’t need it, if, for example, I ate some fruit somewhere outside the house, I don’t need to urgently run to the toilet to brush my teeth. I live quite calmly until the evening, when I can brush my teeth.

In general, I want to say that applying Dead Sea mud, I think this is one of the turning point discoveries in my life. If I had known about this thing 20 years ago, I would not have had the dental loss that exists. I wouldn't have misaligned teeth. Not strong, but it is there.

Now I have completely switched to brushing my teeth with Dead Sea mud. I use dental floss to clean the spaces between my teeth. I always do this, always after every meal. Morning and evening I brush my teeth with Dead Sea mud. I haven't used toothpaste for almost a year now.

I always have water with me. Salty, with Dead Sea salt with a good spoonful of Dead Sea mud added. I won't show you what this chatterbox looks like. You can imagine what dirt dissolved in water looks like. To avoid showing it to everyone, use a dark bottle. During the day, I always have dental floss with me to clean between my teeth. I always rinse my mouth with very strong salt water and a solution of Dead Sea mud. Morning and evening I brush my teeth with Dead Sea mud. I have already become an expert. I know which package contains which dirt. This Dead Sea mud is the best. It is produced by Dead Sea Ltd, Israel. It comes in varying degrees of salinity and dispersion. Yes, there are some inconveniences - small, small stones, like sand, get in. But this doesn’t scare me at all. All this can be removed with your tongue and somehow placed in your mouth. But the fact is that, as they predicted for me at the age of 40, at best at 45, I will live with dentures and nothing will help me. Implants cannot be placed, because people with atrophic periodontal disease are a category that is not subject to dental implantation. That is, all you have to do is live with dentures and this prospect was terrible for me.

This is how I saved my teeth and gums. And, if any of my viewers have such a problem, I will be glad if you listen to my advice and thus save your teeth. All the best! Goodbye!

In this video, the author answers questions about the above article.
Question: Does the mud application need to be washed off?
Answer: No. There is no need to wash off the application with mud. That's the point. The idea is to create an increased mineral and salt level in your oral cavity. Therefore, first of all, I always brush my teeth after breakfast. Even if I brushed my teeth before breakfast, I still brush them after breakfast, so that before lunch my teeth will be in this salt mineral solution. That is, you brush your teeth with mud or apply it and leave it. After a few minutes, no dirt remains on your gums and you don’t have to be afraid to go outside. Of course, sometimes at the point of contact between the gum and tooth there is a thin vein of this mineral plaque. This can be easily removed with the tongue in the place where your smile is visible. And you don't do anything else. The same goes for the night. That is, you must ensure that your teeth are constantly in this increased mineral-salt background. Since it’s impossible to brush your teeth with mud during the day (especially if you’re wearing makeup), I came up with a mineral-salt mash that I always carry with me. It doesn’t spoil your makeup in any way and your teeth are always in a comfortable environment.

At night it’s the same. You brush your teeth with mud or make an application.

Question: How is the applique made?

Answer: Very simple. You apply dirt to your finger, which you rub gently into the surface of the gums in a circular motion. You can also rub it on your teeth. The gums are treated with dirt both externally and internally.

Question: What happens to tartar?

Answer: Tartar dissolves. Tartar occurs when I eat a lot of sugar (cake, for example). After consuming such products, it is imperative to remove this sugar by rinsing your teeth with this mash.

Question: Is it possible to use Bulgarian salty toothpaste “Pomorin”?

Answer: Unfortunately, the cleaning agent in most toothpastes is sodium lauryl sulfate. This is a toxic substance that is now being removed from shampoos. Treating your teeth with such a paste will not do anything good, even if the paste is salty. Therefore, be sure to read the ingredients of toothpastes. I do not recommend using substances such as sodium lauryl sulfate, propylene glycol, paraffin, mineral oil, if they are found in cosmetics. And even more so when these substances are contained in toothpaste. That is why I have now given up toothpastes altogether and I honor my teeth only and exclusively with Dead Sea mud. If you think that it does not completely disinfect the oral cavity, I can say from my own experience - first, Dead Sea mud removes plaque. Secondly, it provides an increased mineral-salt background in the mouth. Third, there is no odor from the mouth, which indicates the absence of bacteria, which are the source of the unpleasant odor. Thus, objectively, the Dead Sea mud has a certain disinfecting property and that is why I chose such a remedy and this is how I will cope with my problem.

Question: I would like to clarify some points: 1) After applying dirt to the gums, it flows onto the teeth, what should you do in this case? Should I leave it on my teeth or after a while rinse my mouth with a salty solution containing dirt? 2) If you brush your teeth with mud, and not with paste, then after rinsing your teeth with water, is the dirt applied to the gums again?

Answer: I take the dirt on the brush, just brush my teeth and close my mouth. I don't rinse with water. In general, I only rinse the brush with water afterward; when I start brushing my teeth, I apply the dirt to a dry brush so as not to blur the consistency.

Question : What should those who have dentures and gums atrophy and discomfort develop and are unable to chew fully and sit on pureed food (have to)?

Answer: Try to also strengthen your gums with this mud. In any case, it won't get worse. Rub it into your gums and don’t spit, let it be absorbed.

Question : How to store this Dead Sea mud?

Answer: I have a separate, small, well-closing jar. I transfer it from the bag there, and close the bag with a paper clip. In general, see how convenient it is for you.

Question: What to do with excessive salivation after application? Swallow it all? Then it just turns out that the dirt is swallowed?

Answer: Just keep going. Salivation will pass. Don't do anything with it.

Comment: In more “simple” cases, rotokan and maraslavin also help very well. The first helps with suddenly sharply sore gums - literally nothing hurts in the morning. The second tightens the gums and strengthens the teeth.
