Why Climatotherapy in
Safaga? Although, there are
other places around the world that provide Climatic Therapy, yet scientific
researches on Safaga area approved that many natural factors in Safaga make it
the most appropriate area of therapy for Psoriasis and Rheumatism diseases.
The Researches of the
National Research Center (NRC) in Egypt, on the geographical nature and
Seawater in Safaga area displayed the following:
The high mountains surrounding
Safaga City act as a natural defense against wind and sandstorms. This feature
on one hand makes the climate is pure from any suspended stains that divert and
absorb the Ultra Violet Rays, which is the basic element in Psoriasis therapy,
and on the other hand, the fresh air helps to heighten the immunity system.
The beach in this area
takes the shape of a bay; so there is no high waves and the quiet water surface
reflects the Ultra Violet Rays to the land
Due to the excessive
existence of corals, the saltiness of Water is 30% higher than other seas, and
this leads to:
A ) Increase in water
density and decrease in gravity , so bodies float easily on the water surface
and the blood circulation improves . Hence more amount of blood reaches the
skin , which helps in curing skin diseases .
B ) Balance in saline
concentration inside and outside the human body that affects the therapy
positively.
The analysis of the black
sand in Safaga showed that the sand contains three radioactive elements:
Uranium, Thorium and Potassium, and they exist in sensible rate. There are
other elements such as Salts and Minerals especially Gold Salt, which is mostly
effective in Rheumatoid therapy. Also, it is known that black sand is useful in
curing acute and chronic Arthritis, Joint Edema, Joint Effusion and skin
inflammation.
Comparing to the other
sites that provide Climatotherapy, Safaga has remarkable advantages like:
The permanent sunshine
throughout the year ; which is a main
factor of Climatotherapy.
On the contrary, there is no sunshine during autumn and winter at those areas.
Sea level location; which means safe climate for most
patients. While other Climatotherapy sites located under sea-level, and this
affects the patients suffering from heart, liver, and kidney diseases,
Tuberculosis, Hemorrhea, Arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, Epilepsy, and
Nerve-diseases negatively.
Rarity of Bromine; contrary to the Red Sea
water, the other seawaters contain high concentration of Bromine, which causes
allergy presented by redness and itching, that may lead to severe skin
suppuration.
