Golden Eagle Festival

Last part of the trip takes you to Bayan-Ulgii province where you immerse in a completely different atmosphere: famous Golden eagle festival! This festival is one of the traditional cultural heritages. During the two days festival, you have the chance to get thousands of amazing images of trained eagles and educate more about the Kazakhs’ traditions. “It was especially interesting for us to see everything, including the national dress of hunters and horse accessories during the Eagle Festival. We also witnessed the eagles diving down from the peak of the mountain to their masters, and the young people competing with each other to capture leather bags. It’s wonderful to think that all this is not just a game, but a way of life.”

-Worldwide news-
Mighty hunters with their eagles gather for the Eagle-Festival every year. Last year, a 14year old girl named Aisholpan participated along with them. Her older brother became a soldier, so she decided to become an eagle trainer, as her father wanted her brother to be. Aisholpan won the “Best Horse and Eagle Equipment” prize at the festival and became the first female eagle trainer to gain recognition in the community. “National Geographic photographer David Edwards dubbed the golden eagles as ‘dinosaurs with feathers’.”

Mongolian Altai Mountains 
First part of the trip brings you into a magnificent area. The region is home to snow capped mountains; glacial valleys, forests and beautiful lakes and rivers create a majestic setting. The name “Altai” means “Golden Mountain’ in Mongolian. It is one of the last untouched wilderness areas of the Earth, the stunning beauty of these peaks – Mongolia’s highest, with several reaching upwards of 4000 meters. Altai Tavan Bogd (Holy Five Peaks) has five high peaks, which have three large interconnected glaciers. The largest is the Potanin Glacier, which are 17 km long ancient petro glyphs. This area’s climate is extremely unpredictable. “You may observe four seasons in one day: the sun will shine, but then it may snow or rain.” Traveling through this spectacular landscape gives you the opportunity to interact with local nomadic families and experience the unique culture that has been preserved in this remarkable and isolated part of the world. “Altai Mountains are one of the best walks in Mongolia and even one of the best in the entire world.”

Birch Tree Sap from Mongolia
 

Birch sap is the sap directly tapped from white birch tree. Traditionally it has been viewed as a part of nature’s renewable energy cycle, harvested once a year at the break of spring when birch trees awaken after winter dormancy and their sap begins to flow from tree root to tree tip budding leaves. The birch sap is a slightly sweet, thin syrupy-watery liquid.  This sap is one of the best living energy source you can drink.

It is unique living water elixir which has magical restorative and detoxifying properties, a source of eternal youth and be used  as medicinally, externally or internally for centuries in Northern countries as Siberia – Mongolia, North Asia, North Europe and North America.

Healing benefits of drinking white birch sap:
 

The Birch sap is a very powerful blood-purifying agent. Nowadays, birch sap is used across the globe and is considered to be a highly-effective detoxifying agent that targets two key organs and two major cleansing and purification systems at the same time.

Powerful diuretic properties: The liver (choleresis): by capturing and neutralizing toxic waste products. The kidneys (diuresis): by eliminating and filtering waste through the urinary tract.

Significant anti-ageing, anti-carcinogenic, and anti-thrombotic (anti-clotformation) effects, headaches, bronchitis, cough, radiculitis and arthritis and also at rheumatism, high cholesterol, heart and kidney edema, and cystitis.

– Stimulate the metabolism and aid in better digestion, destroys uric stones, effective at treatment of stomach and liver ulcer.

-Eliminating cellulite from the body and treats problems like obesity over time.

-Skin conditions like eczema, dermatitis, furunculous and other skin irritations.

-It contains substances possessing antimicrobial activity (phytoncide) and has been used as a cosmetic face-wash – cleaning, refreshing and renewing the skin.

Also your skin and hair will experience an amazing difference with this great drink.

But what, exactly, is in this unique living drink and why does it have such an impressive reputation?

According to the website of Byarozavik, one of the biggest American birch water brands, the basic nutritional profile of birch sap is very similar to its coconut cousin — but with a couple of impressive nutritional extras.

The other super-ingredient that birch water boasts and coconut water does not is xylitol — a sweetener with 40 per cent fewer calories than sugar.

Xylitol is a healthy sugar alternative and perfect for diabetics. Benefits include dramatic tooth decay reduction if used with our gum, mints, or candy.

See about xylitol – http://xylitol.org/miscellaneous/xylitol-make-good-sweetener

Unlike coconut water, birch sap contains compounds called saponins, which research are said to have powerful cholesterol-reducing properties.

Clinical studies have suggested that these health-promoting components, saponins, affect the immune system in ways that help to protect the human body against cancers, and also lower cholesterol levels.Saponins decrease blood lipids, lower cancer risks, and lower blood glucose response. A high saponins diet can be used in the inhibition of dental caries and platelet aggregation, in the treatment of hypercalciuria in humans, and as an antidote against acute lead poisoning.

Birch sap contains minerals that most important for human body such as 6 electrolytes: calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc and sodium, vital vitamins, natural sugars, natural carbohydrates, iron, copper, sodium, amino acid, bioactive enzymes, very rich in vitamin C and B-vitamins like thiamine. It helps to relieve stiff muscles and joints, strengthening the bones and boosting overall immunity. (Electrolytes help to control fluid levels in the body, maintain normal pH levels, and ensure the correct electric potential between nerve cells that enables the transmission of nerve signals.)

Birch tree contains betulinic acid that gives it its anti-inflammatory properties, which are helpful in treating conditions like arthritis, high cholesterol, heart and kidney edema, and cystitis.

Also, birch tree contains strong astringent properties that make it an effective natural treatment for skin conditions like eczema, dermatitis, furunculous and other skin irritations.

Birch bud and leaves are commonly juiced and this juice is used for treating inflammations and infections of the urinary tract, edema, and renal calculosis.

The buds of the birch tree are a rich source of vitamin C, tannin, and flavonoids.

We will tap the birch sap ourselves for daily use and drink 1.5 l per day and we will do half fasting. The standard food that will be offering is vegetarian food, but for those who would like to have gluten free or meat, we can arrange that.

Mongolian Shaman Bulgan
Bulgan comes from an ancient and direct shamanic family tradition passed on from generation to generation. She is internationally known as a wisdom keeper. Sourced by the Mongolian tradition she brings back in balance the female energy and inspires thousands of women on her travels through Europe during the months she leaves Mongolia to spread her teachings and rituals. Apart from her Mongolian family she is also part of the world wide recognised “World Master Teachers” group. This label underlines and protects the exceptional knowledge, wisdom and transformational power that resides in the shamanic familylines certain Shamans belong to.

You need to bring: 0,5l bottle for the sap, warm sleeping bag, raincoat, warm hiking shoes, extra warm shoes, warm ski wear, warm clothes, sunglasses and a small backpack for water. Day temperature will be around 7◦C – 10◦C. The hikes will take max 3 hours a day.

Extra trips around Ulaanbaatar are possible.

Mongolia is the land of the blue sky. It is one of the best places to do the birch sap treatment, because of the fresh air, amazing untouched nature. That means that the sap of the birch tree is pure without all the pollution like countries with a lot of industry.

Healing Trip to Mongolian Gobi Desert 

The Sand Healing Mountain, Uush, is a great healing place with ancient Mongolian mystical healing powers. It’s situated in the middle of the Gobi Desert, which is an extremely significant location.

The Middle Gobi Desert, which lies in the Southern part of Mongolia, is the fifth largest desert in the world.  A fact: dinosaurs’ eggs were discovered for the very first time in Gobi in 1922. Nowadays many international groups of people come to Mongolia just for this unique healing place.

This trip is great for those who really want to be cured by the special healing power of the sand, which you can only find in the Gobi Desert. The sand is not the same as normal sand; it has many different minerals that are essential for our body and has a very fine structure that absorbs a lot of sun energy and lots of oxygen.

If you put the grains of the sand on your tongue, they will melt away. During the day, the temperature of the sand is between 60°- 90° Celsius.

For what is it healthy?

It is an excellent and very special nature method for:  mineral deficiency, oxygen deficiency, toxicity, back problems, osteoarthritis of osteoporosis, rheumatic fever, lever, kidney, uterus (womb), disease and the effects of injuries of the musculoskeletal system, nervous system, high and low blood pressure problem, the male and female reproductive system, infertility, skin diseases and swelling of the body and legs, etc.

Scientifically proven

Our skin is the largest organ of our body and second is the long.

According to Norwegian scientists is 1hour sweating the same as 24hours urinating. There are many scientific researches that show us that many medical treatments are based on the function of our skin.

• Sauna
• Hyperthermia therapy
• Sweat-lodge: shamanic ancient healing method
• Mineral bathwater with different minerals that our body needs
• Detoxing bath with special minerals and herbs with warm bathwater that take out toxicity from your body through the skin
• Oxygen bathwater with extra oxygen
• Thermo warm bathwater, which is used to increase the body temperature and so on

Healing vacation

You will get the all of this treatment in one with your healing vacation.

The sand healing ancient nature method means that you’re going to be covered by hot sand in the sand mountains. You will sweat a lot like in a sauna or sweat lodge. The purpose of this process is sweating, so that special sand minerals will melt on your skin.  Your pores will open up from the heat of the sand, while the toxins in your body will be released and at the same time will our body absorb the minerals, oxygen, sun energy and powerful healing energy from the sand mountain and also from the powerful healing place.  Sweating leads to relaxation of the lever and kidneys, which means that they are able to reproduce new cells.

Totally covered by the sand is also a sort of shamanic dead ritual, which you can interpret as rebirth.

Schedule

You’ll get twice a day a sunbath & hot sand treatment, but the time will vary each day. You’ll also get boiled fresh camel milk twice a day, which is a part of the treatment and has a very good effect on your inner organs (drink as you prefer). Mongolian Camel Milk is a staple food for Gobi-Desert Nomads and it has more fat and protein than cow milk.

Everyday, we will do a shamanic ceremony, ritual or guided meditation and silent walk. After the first day of the healing treatment, we’ll visit Nature places of the area, such as beautiful nature spots and wildlife. (There are no mosquitos)

Very unique and life changing experience!
The trip will be guided in English, but we also have a German translator.

Only vegetarian food will be offered, but for those who would like to have gluten-free or meat can be arranged. The sand healing camp offers fresh sheep meat of high quality for her patients every two days.

Flight information:

I like to recommend Mongolian Airline. The Russian Airline is also all right but the time between the two connecting flights have to be more than 3 hours, otherwise your baggage transfer will be too late for the next flight and your baggage will come one day later in Ulaanbaatar. So it is going to be a problem.

What to bring?

• Sleeping bag
• Raincoat
