Investigation of the Possibility of Developing Natural Remedies Based on Mud Volcano Products

Volcanic mud has long been the focus of scientific interest as a natural therapeutic agent. Its composition includes microelements and organic components such as syngenetic bitumen, resins, asphaltenes, humic substances, certain enzymes, and fulvic acids. Scientific studies have confirmed the presence of bactericidal substances and other biologically active compounds in the mud samples that may exert beneficial effects on the human body during treatment. Research findings indicate that the organic composition of volcanic mud shares similarities with the therapeutic properties of White Naftalan oil. As part of the study, the elemental and phase composition of breccia mud obtained from the Pirekeshkul mud volcano was analyzed. It was established that the mud does not contain components harmful to human health. This suggests that the specified volcanic mud is suitable for use in the formulation of cosmetic products. During experimental procedures, various cosmetic ointments were developed using breccia mud from the volcano in combination with White Naftalan oil and plant-derived essential oils, as well as compositions of essential oils with T-46 oil. Research findings revealed that the oxygen present in the samples existed primarily in the form of oxides.
