Climatotherapy
in Safaga
Safaga, on Egypt’s Red Sea coast, offers a unique climate that benefits people with psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis. Here’s why:
Favorable Environment
- Clean Air: High mountains shield Safaga from dust and sand, allowing essential UV rays to reach the skin for psoriasis treatment.
- Calm Sea: The bay's curvature creates a calm sea surface, reflecting more UV rays.
- Saltier Waters: The Red Sea's high salinity (35% more than other seas) is similar to the Dead Sea and may improve circulation.
- Black Sand: Rich in minerals and containing trace radioactive elements, the black sand is believed to help with rheumatoid arthritis.
Treatment Approaches
- • Psoriasis: Patients bathe in the Red Sea and sunbathe (duration prescribed by therapists) twice daily. Studies show significant improvement in 85% of cases, with a low recurrence rate compared to medications.
• Rheumatoid Arthritis: Patients undergo a program of burying themselves in black sand (excluding head, stomach, and chest) twice daily for a month. Studies suggest a 70-75% positive response with pain relief.
Key Benefits
- Natural and Safe: Climatotherapy offers a natural alternative to medications with potentially harmful side effects.
- Reduced Recurrence: Studies suggest lower recurrence rates for psoriasis compared to traditional treatments
- Improved Quality of Life: Reduced pain and inflammation can significantly improve a patient's well-being.
Important Considerations
- Medical Supervision: Consulting a doctor before undergoing Climatotherapy is crucial.
- Treatment Duration: Psoriasis treatment typically lasts a month, while rheumatoid arthritis treatment may involve 16-20 sessions.
- Seasonal Treatment: Ideal time for Climatotherapy is between May and October.
