The climate of the Resort is characterized by a high oxygen content, low atmospheric pressure and the intensity of ultraviolet rays. These are the factors that contribute to the remarkable curative and tonic effects of the Resort climate. There are four mineral water springs and one thermal spring flowing in the Resort. The remarkable curative and salutary effects of the waters is determined by their unique chemical composition and low mineralization, which is confirmed by laboratory studies and many years of experience.

Description of Curative and Wellness Procedures:





Mineral Bath with Extracts

The procedure is performed with mineral water, the natural temperature of which (41°C) promotes the expansion of pores, which, in turn, allows the ions and active substances contained in the water to easily penetrate into the body. The sedative, calming effect of the procedure helps relieve stress and muscle tension, improves sleep and mood, and expels harmful substances and toxins from the body.

Underwater Massage

One of the types of hydro procedure is underwater massage, which is the most economical and effective method. The procedure is performed in a bath full of water, during which the body is completely relaxed and goes into a certain state of weightlessness, which reduces the pressure on the muscles, joints and spine during the procedure.

The massage process is performed directly through a water cannon, which is directed to different parts of the body, at different angles.

This procedure allows to perform a deep massage (affecting the deeper layers of tissues and muscles) without pain and discomfort.

The procedure improves blood and lymph circulation, increases the permeability of blood vessel walls, which contributes to the saturation of tissues with oxygen, improves metabolism, enhances the process of expelling toxins from the body, reduces fluid retention and thus relieves swelling, promotes skin regeneration and restoration of elasticity. Strengthens the immune system and improves sleep.

Halotherapy (Salt Room)

Halotherapy is a non-medical method of treatment. It is based on an artificially created microclimate, as close as possible to the climate of a deep underground salt cave, and curative and salutary effect is due to a halogen generator in the salt room, which converts salt particles into dry aerosol and emits it in doses.

During the procedure, while staying in the salt room, the saturation of cells with useful minerals and active substances is significantly increased, which helps improve the lungs function, while the microflora of the respiratory tract is cleared of dust and harmful bacteria. During the session, the salty air contributes to the saturation of the blood with oxygen, which increases the body's resistance to various infections and viruses.

Inhalation with Mineral Water

Inhalation is one of the most widely used procedures for curative as well as prophylactic and rehabilitation purposes. Sairme mineral waters are rich in beneficial ions, various microelements and biologically active substances, making the inhalation procedure highly effective. During this procedure, when mineral water evaporates and spreads, beneficial substances easily reach the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract, which enhances blood circulation and the process of regeneration (restoration) of the epithelium damaged by the virus.

Hydrocolonotherapy (Detoxification Treatment of the Large Intestine with Mineral Water)

Hydrocolonotherapy is large intestine lavage procedure, which is widely used for both curative and wellness purposes. The procedure is performed with mineral water, the chemical composition of which determines its effectiveness. As a result of the procedure, the functioning of the digestive system is normalized, toxins are expelled from the body, allergic reactions are reduced, skin tone is improved, chronic fatigue syndrome is relieved and immunity is strengthened.

Wellness Massage

Wellness massage is one of the most effective ways to improve physical, mental and emotional state of a person. The procedure is used for curative and rehabilitation as well as and relaxation purposes. It has a positive effect on the musculoskeletal, nervous and digestive systems. The procedure improves blood and lymph circulation, which ensures oxygen saturation of tissues and promotes their improved functioning. The massage relieves muscle tension, enhances the secretory function of the glands, improves metabolism and the functioning of internal organs, relieves fatigue, stress, strengthens the immune system, and improves mood and sleep.

Sauna (Dry/Steam), Swimming Pool and Fitness Room

The resort's pool is filled with thermal water, the temperature of which ranges from 35 to 41°C. The water is rich in various useful salts and ions, does not contain radon, which makes it absolutely safe. It is the chemical and temperature indicators of water that contribute to its high health-improving and therapeutic effect.
