A person is always inclined to believe that a miracle will happen, and his problems will dissolve by themselves. Many apply this formula in relation to their health. But it is worth considering that even for the greatest miracle it is necessary to create conditions. At least to ask, maybe it is very close, you just need to pay attention to it. For example, bischofite. Why is it not a miracle?
Bischofite? No, they didn’t hear ...
Bischofite, its benefits and uses have been known for a long time. This "natural healer" was used for baths, compresses, solutions and rubbing. But what it is, alas, not many know.
Bischofite is a natural mineral composed of granular crystalline salts. The mineral is readily soluble, mostly consisting of magnesium chloride. That is why bischofite bathtubs are so popular, the indications and contraindications of which can be studied not only in expensive resorts, but also at home.
Deposits of this mineral can be monomineral, that is, pure and with impurities of iodine, molybdenum, iron and manganese. Pure bischofite is slightly yellowish, with impurities of salt can be from transparent to brown.
Who discovered the mineral and how it is mined
For the first time, the German scientist Gustav Bischof drew attention to the deposits of a strange mineral in 1877. Subsequently, the mineral was named after him. For a long time, natural bischofite salts were considered very rare, but from 1930 to 1960, 3 large deposits were discovered. All of them were located on the territory of the USSR. Today, one of them (the largest) belongs to Russia and is located in the Volgograd region. The second (the oldest and deepest) should be sought on the territory of Ukraine, in the Poltava region. And the third belongs to Turkmenistan. In Germany, useful polymineral is mined in Stasfur. But, unlike our deposits, where the salt concentration reaches 95%, the deposit is not clean there, its admixture in the rock is not more than 50%.
Bischofite is mined while drilling wells. Use the method of underground dissolution with artesian water. The resulting solution retains all the properties of the mineral, which is why its further use for medical procedures is considered optimal. Before taking bischofite baths, indications and contraindications must be studied, since medicinal salt, which has a high content of magnesium, called the “mineral of life”, has a very powerful effect on the body.
Note that the extracted aqueous bischofite solution is suitable for transportation and long-term storage. To obtain a crystalline structure, evaporation of the liquid from the solution is carried out.
