Man is always inclined to believe that a miracle will happen and his problems will dissolve by themselves. Many apply this formula to their he alth. But it is worth thinking about the fact that even for the greatest miracle it is necessary to create conditions. At least ask, maybe it is very close, you just need to pay attention to it. Here, for example, bischofite. Why not a miracle?
Bishofite? No, we haven't heard…
Bishofite, its benefits and applications have been known for a long time. This "natural healer" was used for baths, compresses, solutions and rubbing. But, alas, not many people know what it is.
Bishofite is a natural mineral consisting of granular-crystalline s alts. The mineral is easily soluble, mostly consisting of magnesium chloride. That is why bischofite baths are so popular, the indications and contraindications of which can beexplore not only at 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 s alt it can be from transparent to brown.
Who discovered the mineral and how it is mined
For the first time, the German scientist Gustav Bischoff drew attention to the deposits of a strange mineral in 1877. Subsequently, the mineral was named after him. For a long time, natural bischofite s alts 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, a useful polymineral is mined in Stasfur. But, unlike our deposits, where the concentration of s alts reaches 95%, there the deposit is not clean, its admixture in the rock is no more than 50%.
Bishofite is mined when drilling wells. The method of underground dissolution with artesian water is used. 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 s alt, which has a high content of magnesium, called the “mineral of life”, has a verypowerful effect on the body.
Note that the extracted water solution of bischofite is suitable for transportation and long-term storage. To obtain a crystalline structure, the liquid is evaporated from the solution.
