Natural mud therapy from Lake Techirghiol.

Situated on the Black Sea coast, between Techirghiol, Eforie Nord and Eforie Sud, Lake Techirghiol it is the largest saline lake in Romania, with a length of 7.500 m, a maximum depth of 9 m and salinity of over 90 g/l. It differs fundamentally from the other lakes by its physico-geographical aspects, although its genesis is the same (fluvio-marine liman). The average water temperature is generally close to that of the air. Due to high mineralization, the water temperature of Lake Techirghiol can drop below 0°C without freezing.
Lucios si onctuos, mud is black It has a characteristic odor and possesses physical properties that make it extremely useful in the treatment of various ailments. It is unique in every respect.
- it stretches, moves on the surface of the body (it is plastic);
- it absorbs water like a sponge and is also able to mix very well with it (it is hydropexic);
- stores heat easily (it is thermopexic) when it is heated and gives it up to our body with difficulty (it has a low thermal conductivity). This is why, when applied hot to the skin, it feels warmer than a bath with water at the same temperature.
Namol is a substance with a complex chemical composition, formed after an extremely long biological process (called peloidogenesis) under the specific conditions of Lake Techirghiol. Namol contains solid organic and inorganic substances, in the form of very small diameter granules, substances in colloidal organic and mineral form, water coming from the lake and in which are dissolved a lot of substances and gases.
Artemia salina is a primitive crustacean belonging to the subclass Branchiopoda, (with legs transformed into gills). The species lives in waters with high and variable salinity. The animal always swims on its back (feet up), the movement of the lamellar legs generating a current of water that drains down a trench on the ventral front. It reproduces by cysts, which are very resistant to adverse conditions (drought, frost, etc.).
