Arsenic baths are healing water for healthy joints and bones. The healing properties of mineral water

Arsenic baths- external use of mineral waters with high content arsenic (As) from 0.7 to 100 mg/l. Among them, there are weak (As percentage 0.7 - 5 mg/l), strong (As in a concentration of 5 - 10 mg/l) and very strong waters (10 - 100 mg/l). There are also cold (below 20°C) and hot (35 - 42°C) waters. Carbon dioxide arsenic waters (with a CO2 saturation of 3.5 - 9.0 g/l) are considered the most valuable in balneology.

There are natural sources of such waters in France, Azerbaijan, German Baden-Baden, and on Sakhalin Island. And in Ukraine you can undergo a course of treatment with carbonated arsenic waters in one of the best sanatoriums"Girna Tysa" in Transcarpathia. In addition, other treatments are available here, from massage and therapeutic exercises to acupuncture and hirudotherapy.

Properties of arsenic

Arsenic is a deadly poison and strong medicine simultaneously. In small quantities (only 0.1 g) it is found in the brain, muscles, organs consisting of muscle tissue(such as the heart, uterus, tongue, bladder, larynx), where it regulates energy exchange in cells. Penetrating into the body through the skin or internally, with drinking, arsenic increases its energy potential at the cellular level, normalizing metabolic processes, increases hemoglobin and the number of blood cells, improves digestion and absorption of phosphorus, nitrogen, and reduces the breakdown of proteins.

Indications and contraindications

Arsenic baths are effective for:

• nervous system disorders
• diseases of the musculoskeletal system (osteochondrosis, scoliosis)
• rheumatism
• hypertension (but only stages I and II)
• atherosclerosis
• arthritis
• ulcers
• thyroid pathologies
• psoriasis
• inflammatory processes in the female genital organs
• some consequences of radiation exposure
• joint and spine injuries.

This is far from full list diseases for which arsenic is prescribed in the form of baths or in drinking water. Moreover, baths and other water treatments with this substance are more helpful for disorders in the cardiovascular system and metabolic diseases.

Water procedures with arsenic are contraindicated

• with advanced hypertension
• exacerbation of the chronicle
• infections
• arrhythmias
• myocardial infarction
• tumors
• pregnancy
• tuberculosis
• mental disorders

Arsenic baths in the Gornaya Tisa sanatorium

The main healing factor of the resort of Sochi and all the coastal resort towns included in the region are: climate, mineral waters, silt mud of the Imereti deposit.

Famous Matsestinskoye field hydrogen sulfide waters is one of the largest in the world. Translated from Ubykh, matsesta means “fire water.” Mineral water springs here were discovered in ancient times. The Romans, Athenians, and Byzantines sailed here. The Romans called Matsesta water “happy springs.” The first mention of “fire water” appeared in 1840 in London. The highest assessment of Sochi water was given by Professor Gram from the University of London. He predicted a bright future for her. The first hydropathic clinic appeared in Matsesta in 1902. The city became a balneotherapeutic resort. Now the balneohydrological complex " Matsesta" - the largest in Russia medical complex. The Matsesta emblem on bottle caps has long been synonymous with a sign of quality. The deposits are unique not only for their huge water reserves, but also for the variety of hydrogen sulfide concentrations. Also unique is the presence huge amount others minerals: iodine, colloidal sulfur, boron, fluorine, bromine. Concentrations of substances have therapeutic significance. The resort uses Matsesta baths, irrigation, showers, inhalations, microenemas, etc. All these balneoprocedures have a pronounced therapeutic effect and are indicated for diseases of the musculoskeletal system, including chronic, of cardio-vascular system, peripheral nervous system, skin diseases, post-burn keloid scars, gynecological and dental diseases.

Since 1976, in addition to hydrogen sulfide waters, the resort has used iodine-bromine waters from the Kudepsta spring. These are sodium chloride waters with high concentration iodine and bromine, saturated with methane. Kudepsta waters have a gentle effect on the cardiovascular and nervous systems. They are used in the balneotherapy of patients with contraindications to aggressive Matsesta baths.

Sochi is distinguished by a rich variety of mineral waters, among which the famous Chvizhepsinsky Narzan from Krasnaya Polyana and alkaline mineral water" Lazarevskaya"These waters are indicated for diseases of the digestive system, and for urological diseases. No less popular." Plastunskaya", "Sochi", "Psezuapse". They have earned recognition and are in high demand among local population and for resort guests. The medicinal properties of drinking mineral water from the Old Matsesta pump room have received the widest and highest praise throughout the world.

Consumption of drinking mineral waters in healing process effectively complements the course of balneotherapy, and also provides the Sochi region with the opportunity to add additional resort specialization, i.e. The status of a drinking resort should be added to the status of a balneological resort.

Resort climate- the second powerful healing factor of the Sochi region. Both the amazing mountain and sea air are healing. The sea warms it and saturates it with negatively charged ions of minerals, especially iodine. These substances, combined with phytoncides, transform the air into a natural healing cocktail, so beneficial to the human body! The most favorable season for treatment all kinds of diseases in the Sochi region it is autumn, spring and winter. Even in winter, temperatures rarely drop below zero. Mostly it stays between 5 and 10 degrees Celsius. Almost never happens in Sochi cloudy days. The sun actively warms the entire coast, creating comfort at any time of the year.

Indications for balneotherapy with Matsesta

• Musculoskeletal system: osteochondrosis, polyarthritis, other diseases
• Cardiovascular system: hypertension and hypotension, ischemic disease heart, other diseases
• Central nervous system: neurocircular dystonia, post-traumatic encephalopathy, migraines, other diseases
• Peripheral vessels and nerves: thrombophlebitis, endarteritis, varicose veins veins, plexitis, neuritis, other diseases
• Gynecological diseases: chronic inflammation of the appendages, infertility, adhesions
• Skin diseases: psoriasis, eczema, neurodermatitis, diathesis, others
• Post-burn and post-operative keloid scars
• Diseases of the nasopharynx and paranasal sinuses, oral cavity and gums (periodontitis, periodontal disease, gingivitis, stomatitis, etc. diseases
• Treatment of victims of industrial accidents
• Occupational diseases

The range of procedures provided at the resort includes: hydrogen sulfide procedures (general hydrogen sulfide bath, four-chamber bath, inhalations, microenemas, head irrigation, gynecological irrigation, gum irrigation, ascending shower, iodine-bromine baths, radon baths, iodine-bromine inhalations and gum irrigation, gynecological radon irrigation.

Characteristics of mineral waters in the Sochi region

Matsestinskaya water contains more than 20 chemical elements and belongs to a rare type of mineral water. The world's largest deposit of sulfide (hydrogen sulfide) water is located in Sochi. It is unique in geological and hydrogeological conditions, volume of reserves and quantitative composition of mineral medicinal water. Four areas have been explored: Matsestinsky, Khostinsky, Mamaysky and Kudepstinsky. These are thermal waters with temperatures from 18°C ​​to 46°C, sulfide-chloride-sodium with a mineralization from 3 to 41 g/l, with a hydrogen sulfide concentration from 60 mg/l to 420 mg/l. In addition to free hydrogen sulfide, Matsesta water contains therapeutically significant concentrations of iodine, bromine, fluorine, and colloidal sulfur.

Matsestinsky sulfide waters very widely used in the treatment of childhood diseases aged 7 to 17 years. Today, another 23 areas have been explored that are promising for development and contain mineral water deposits of different compositions. In 2008, the first drinking pump room opened in Sochi.

Iodine-bromide waters Kudepstinsky and Lazarevsky According to their ion-salt composition, deposits are classified as hydrocarbonate-chloride or sodium chloride. They contain from 36 to 100 mg/l bromine, from 13 to 33 mg/l iodine, and have a total mineralization of 24.5 g/l. They also contain fluorine, boron, calcium, magnesium, iron, methane, carbon dioxide, sodium chloride.

Mineral water Chvizhepse hydrocarbonate sodium-calcium type, has low mineralization, belongs to carbonic arsenic waters, slightly acidic, cold. The concentration of free carbon dioxide is up to 1.9-2.2 g/l, total mineralization is 1.2-2.7 g/l. The water does not contain magnesium sulfate, which gives bitter taste mineral waters. The temperature of this water is 14 °C - 6 °C. It contains arsenic in its biologically active form. In the mineral water of the Chvizhepse spring it is presented in the form of salts of arsenic acid with trivalent arsenic. Its concentration at the time of outflow from the wellhead reaches 4.9-6.0 mg/l.

Drinking mineral waters in Sochi are characterized by relatively low mineralization, from 1.2 to 7 g/l, and therapeutically significant concentrations of boron and fluorine. They contain biological active ingredients, such as iron, bromine, silicon. All waters are bottled and used for treatment in the city’s sanatoriums in in kind, and are also sold as medicinal and medicinal table mineral waters after technological processing. Drinking mineral waters Sochi fluorinated. This makes it possible to use them for the treatment and prevention of dental caries, for the active removal of radionuclides and heavy metal salts from the body. "Plastunskaya" subthermal water 31°C: sodium boron carbonate, with increased content fluorine, slightly mineralized and slightly alkaline. Mining has been carried out since 1971, from a depth of 550 m at the Plastunskoye mineral water deposit, which is located in the Khostinsky district of Sochi. Water promotes the regeneration of the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines, removes radionuclides, pesticides, heavy metal salts from the body, normalizes redox processes, metabolism, increases general tone and body resistance.

"Sochi"bicarbonate-chloride-sodium, iodide, slightly alkaline, medium mineralization, with a high fluorine content (higher than all waters in the Sochi region). It also contains iron, bromine, silicon. It is mined in the valley of the Mamaika River, at the Mamaika deposit since 1982. The water is regenerated gastric mucosa, reduces cholesterol levels, stimulates the process of hematopoiesis, cellular metabolism, normalizes blood viscosity, calcium metabolism, biosynthesis of hormones thyroid gland, increases nonspecific immunity, promotes the removal of radionuclides and pesticides.

"Lazarevskaya"hydrocarbonate-chloride sodium, alkaline, low mineralization, with a high content of fluorine, boron and iodine. Contains bromine and silicon. Mined in the valleys of the Tsushvadzh and Chudo-Krasotka rivers, at the Volkonsky deposit in the Lazarevsky district of Sochi. Mining depth - 250-550 m Mineral water improves adaptation processes, increases immunity, improves regeneration processes of the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines, promotes the removal of radionuclides and heavy metals, normalizes metabolism, increases the overall tone and resistance of the body.

"Chvizhepsinskaya"- low-mineralized carbonic bicarbonate calcium-sodium (sodium-calcium) arsenic mineral water with a high content of boron, lithium, iron. Therapeutic and prophylactic effect: stimulates hematopoiesis, regulates tissue respiration, regulates redox processes, promotes the regeneration of the gastric mucosa.

Mineral water well No. 7"Bear's Corner", "Mountain Spring" low-mineralized carbon dioxide, bicarbonate-calcium-sodium, arsenic. Water is extracted from a depth of 700 m. It stimulates blood circulation, regulates tissue respiration, redox processes, and regeneration of the gastric mucosa.

In addition to mineral waters and climate in the Sochi region, they use mud therapy. Natural medicinal silt deposits were discovered in 1941. The mud of the Imereti deposit physical properties similar to other silt medicinal muds, it differs in the almost complete absence of hydrogen sulfide and iron sulfide. This allows it to be used in the treatment of weakened patients and young children. At the Sochi Institute of Balneology and Physiotherapy, a method was developed (F.I. Golovin, 1967) for enriching Adler mud with hydrogen sulfide from Matsesta mineral water. Nowadays in Sochi there is the only unique installation in the country, with the help of which high-sulfide, medium-mineralized therapeutic mud is prepared from local freshwater silts of the Imereti deposit and Matsesta water, the main factors of which in influencing the human body are:

• thermal (local heating of tissues, thermal reflex reactions)
• chemical (penetration through the skin of biologically active compounds of hydrogen sulfide, hormones, sulfur, amine bases).
• mud pressure at the point of application
• mechanical effect on the skin.

Mud treatments help improve blood circulation, reduce muscle tension, devolve, have an anti-inflammatory effect, change arterial pressure, increase heart rate, normalize metabolic processes and immunity.

Myths and legends have brought to us from the most distant times evidence that the waters of healing springs have been used since time immemorial. The ancient Greeks, for example, believed that Hercules gained his heroic strength by bathing in a magical spring in the Caucasus, so at one time the mythical hero was even considered the patron of healing waters.

Mineral water

In ancient times, the Greeks built sanctuaries near healing springs, dedicated to god Asclepius (the Romans built temples in honor of Aesculapius in similar places). In Greece, archaeologists have discovered the ruins of an ancient hydropathic clinic, built around the 6th century BC. e.

The remains of ancient baths are also found here in the Caucasus, where they not only bathed, but also were treated with mineral waters. Oral legends have been passed down from generation to generation about the miraculous properties of the waters gushing out of the ground here. The names of many sources indicate this. Hak, “Narzan” (“Nart-sana”) translated from Balkar means “heroic drink”.

The healing power of groundwater was a mystery to ancient people.

It was sometimes attributed to some mysterious creatures that allegedly lived in the springs. However, scientific attempts have also been made to explain the effectiveness of mineral waters. Greek physician Archigenes, who lived in the 1st century AD. e., one of the first in the world to claim that the secret of groundwater is in its composition. He even began to systematize waters, dividing them into four groups: alkaline, ferruginous, salty and sulfurous.

About two thousand years have passed since then. Today no one doubts that the power of these waters is due to the substances they contain. Some substances are contained in mineral waters in the form of ions, others in the form of undissociated molecules, and others are colloidal particles. Of course, different mineral waters differ from each other and in their composition. components and their ratio. Some of these “living waters” are suitable for drinking, others for medicinal baths.

The history of the study and use of mineral waters in Russia is connected with the name of Peter I. By his order, the first hydrotherapy resort in Russia was built on the Marcial (ferruginous) waters in Zaonezhye. Peter I himself was repeatedly treated with these waters, and on his order the first “Doctor’s Rules on how to act with these waters” were drawn up.

The most famous hydrotherapy resort in the USSR, which is also of global importance, is the Caucasian Mineral Waters, where a wonderful climate is combined with a large number of sources of the most varied composition. The date of origin of the resort on the Caucasian mineral waters is considered to be 1803, when a doctor was sent here, and a fortress was already built at the Narzan spring - the embryo of the future city of Kislovodsk.

In 1823 Professor-pharmacologist A.P. Nelyubin was sent to the Caucasus, who, after painstaking research, created a major work “Complete historical, medical-topographical, physical-chemical and medical description of the Caucasian mineral waters. Studying mineral composition The waters were produced by the outstanding chemist N.N. Zinin, and the famous clinician, founder of the Moscow therapeutic school G.A. Zakharyin spoke not only about the beneficial effects of waters at resorts, but also about the benefits of bottled waters in the clinic and at home.

A.S. Pushkin visited the Caucasian mineral waters twice - in 1820 and 1829. on the way to Arzrum. Remembering his first visit, Pushkin wrote:

“... the baths were in hastily built shacks. The springs, mostly in their primeval form, bubbled up, smoked and flowed down from the mountains. different directions, leaving behind white and reddish marks. We scooped boiling water with a bark ladle or the bottom of a broken bottle..."

Back in the middle of the 19th century, in the Caucasian mineral waters they were treated, according to tradition, as follows: first with “dead water” - at the sulfur springs of Pyatigorsk, then with “living water” - in Zheleznovodsk, and completed the course in Kislovodsk with “Narzan”, which was taken in incredible quantities - 30 or more glasses per day!

Only since 1920, When, by decision of the Soviet government, the State Balneological Institute was created in Pyatigorsk, a systematic and comprehensive study of the effects of natural mineral waters began in our country. Nowadays, these issues are being developed in the institutes of balneology in Moscow, Sverdlovsk, Tomsk, Ukraine, Georgia, and Armenia.

In the area of ​​Pyatigorsk, Kislovodsk, Essentuki, Zheleznovodek there are about 80 springs with water of 21 types. They provide about 10 million liters of water per day. Both here and abroad, everyone knows “Narzan”, “Essentuki No. 4”, “Essentuki No. 17”, “Smirnovskaya”, “Batalinskaya” and other mineral waters. There is no other place in the world where so many sources are concentrated in a small space; diverse in composition and completely different in their effects on the human body.

So, the healing properties of mineral waters are determined primarily by how much salts they contain. This characteristic is called mineralization and is extremely diverse. For example, the “Darasun” mineral water contains only 2 g of salts per 1 liter, the famous “Narzan” - 4 g. This group of mineral waters is called medicinal table waters (mineralization within 2-8 g/l). Such waters can sometimes be used as table drinks.

Along with an increase in salt concentration, the properties and purpose of mineral waters change significantly. In 1 liter of the well-known water “Essentuki No. 17” there are about 12 g of salts, the mineralization of “Batalinskaya” is 20 g/l, and “Lugela” is up to 52 g/l. These mineral waters have a very significant effect on the human body. strong effect, therefore they belong to the group of medicinal ones. They drink them as prescribed by the doctor and in strictly prescribed quantities. Thus, a single dose of the unique Lugela water is only one tablespoon or even a teaspoon.

On the label affixed to the bottle with mineral water, usually the chemical composition of water and the number of main components are indicated. Dissolved salts are represented by electrically charged particles - ions. As you know, ions can carry positive or negative charges, and, depending on this, are called either cations or anions.

The healing properties of mineral water and its chemical essence are determined by six main ions: three cations - sodium, calcium, magnesium and three anions - chlorine, sulfate and bicarbonate. The entire variety of mineral waters is largely created by the various combinations of these magnificent six!

So, for example, the group that includes “Borjomi”, “Dilijan”, “Nabeghlavi”, in which hydrocarbonate ions and sodium ions predominate, is called the group of sodium bicarbonate waters. In everyday life they are also called in the old fashioned way - soda, or alkaline .

If sodium ions are combined with chlorine ions, then the water belongs to the group of sodium chloride, or salty, mineral waters. This group includes “Mirgorodskaya” and “Rostovskaya”. The combination of sodium, chlorine and bicarbonate gives a group of hydrocarbonate-chloride sodium mineral waters (they are also called “salt-alkaline”): “Essentuki M” 4,” “Essentuki No. 17,” “Arzni.” But “Narzan” contains four main ions: magnesium, calcium, bicarbonate and sulfate, which is why it is called “sulfate-bicarbonate magnesium-calcium mineral water.”

Carbon dioxide, or carbonic anhydride, or what we used to call " carbon dioxide» - makes mineral water pleasant to the taste; sparkling water quenches thirst better.

We can say that it is thanks to carbon dioxide that many healing mineral waters are formed in giant underground laboratories: dissolved carbon dioxide acts on the surrounding rocks, resulting in the formation of calcium, magnesium and sodium hydrocarbonates. CO2 owes its birth to such wonderful waters as Narzan, Dilijan, Essentuki, Borjomi and many others.

Carbon dioxide is also needed to stabilize the chemical composition of mineral waters, so before bottling, the water is additionally saturated with carbon dioxide to preserve its healing properties.

May with full confidence assert that in addition to the six main ions mentioned, almost the entire periodic table is present in mineral waters. Those elements that are contained in very small quantities are called microelements and even ultramicroelements. Among them are iron, cobalt, molybdenum, arsenic, fluorine, manganese, copper, iodine, bromine, lithium. Including with clearly expressed pharmacological action- , arsenic, iodine and bromine.

Iron is found in many mineral waters of Siberia and the Caucasus.

The highest amount of iron is in the above-mentioned “Martial” waters - up to 70 mg/l. The presence of iron makes even water with very low mineralization, for example, “Polustrovo” (less than 1 g/l), healing. If the iron content reaches 20 mg/l, then the water is considered “ferrous” and is prescribed to people suffering from anemia.

Arsenic is a substance with pronounced toxic and pharmacological properties.

Mineral waters containing 0.7 mg/l arsenic and higher have a specific effect therapeutic effect and belong to mineral arsenic waters. “Avadhara”, “TurshSu”, “Jermuk” are medicinal table waters, they contain no more than 1.5 mg/l of arsenic. Among the arsenic mineral waters, Chvizhepse water, or Sochi Narzan, also appeared.

Among drinking mineral waters there are also bromine waters.

(As you know, bromine is used in the treatment of nervous system disorders.) Among them, “Lugela” and “Talitskaya” are used only as prescribed by a doctor, and “Nizhne-Serginskaya” is a medical canteen. The lower the mineralization of water and the less chlorides it contains, the more pronounced the effect of bromine on the human body is. The group of iodine waters includes “Azovskaya” and “Semigorskaya”. Iodine is important trace element and plays an important role in the functioning of the thyroid gland.

Drinking mineral waters also contain organic substances.

The organic composition of mineral waters is still largely unexplored. It is to him, most likely, that she owes her healing power"Naftusya" - mineral water of the Truskavets resort.

By chemical composition There are six classes of mineral waters: hydrocarbonate, chloride, sulfate, mixed, biologically active and carbonated. Based on temperature, mineral waters are divided into cold (up to 20 °C), subthermal (20-37 °C), thermal (37 - 42 °C) and hyperthermal (over 42 °C).

The technology for bottled bottling of mineral waters necessarily includes saturation with carbon dioxide up to 0.3-0.4% through asbestos, plate or ceramic filters. According to the requirements of the state standard, mineral water is a colorless liquid, without foreign odors and tastes unusual for it. Mineral water is bottled on powerful automatic and semi-automatic lines into bottles, usually with a capacity of 0.5 and 0.33 liters. Each bottle must have a label indicating the release date and description. By special permission For some waters, release without labels is allowed - “Narzan”, “Kyiv”, and the necessary data is indicated on the crown.

It should be noted that one cannot expect any miraculous effect from medicinal mineral waters. At correct use them, with simultaneous adherence to diet and general regimen, with the exception of unnecessarily irritating factors (primarily alcohol), the consumption of mineral waters gives good results.

Bottled mineral waters are, however, increasingly used as table waters. This is explained by them pleasant taste, saturation with carbon dioxide and a number of other advantages over fresh water. When we sweat profusely, our body loses a significant amount of salts through sweat. Consumption of fresh water does not compensate for these losses; for this reason, an undesirable depletion of the body in salts may occur.

It has been established that workers in hot shops sweat less when quenching their thirst with salted rather than fresh water. But mineral water is such salted water, but its composition, in addition to table salt, also includes other salts necessary for the body. Not to mention the fact that the sanitary condition of bottled mineral water is always impeccable.

The main condition for using mineral waters as table waters is their low mineralization, since the use of highly mineralized waters can lead to undesirable results.

Taking into account the effects of mineral waters on the body, it can be assumed that sodium chloride type waters with a mineralization of no higher than 4-4.5 g/l should be used as table waters; for hydrocarbonate waters this limit is about 6 g/l, and for waters mixed composition it is between the specified values. Reasonable use of mineral table waters has beneficial influence on the body.

Seltzer water is obtained by dissolving the same salts and calcium chloride (0.1-0.15), magnesium chloride. It also has a salty taste.

Mineral waters containing arsenic

Until the first half of the 20th century, it was generally accepted that arsenic mineral waters such waters should be classified as having an absolute arsenic coefficient of at least 1 mg per 1 kg of water, and most of the arsenic waters also contain large doses of iron and sulfate anion.

In recent years, it has been generally accepted that water with an arsenic concentration of at least 0.7 mg/l can be classified as arsenic-containing. This arsenic concentration is taken to be lower limit norms because op;| corresponds to the minimum one-time pharmacological dose and causes a physiological effect when used therapeutically.

In waters used for drinking cure, arsenic should contain no more than 0.2 mg/l. Permissible arsenic concentrations for fresh drinking water should not exceed 0.06 mg/l.

A doctor should treat arsenic-containing mineral waters as a medicine, the prescription and dosage of which should be thought out and individual for each patient. Arsenic also enters the body with food. Among food products, the largest amount of arsenic was found in beluga and stellate sturgeon, and among food products plant origin relatively a large number of cocoa contains arsenic.

In the CIS and Russia we have 35 deposits of arsenic-containing waters. True, they are not the same in composition, mineralization, arsenic concentration, water temperature and gas composition. Based on the indicated properties, 6 main groups of arsenic-containing waters can be distinguished.

1. Carbon dioxide cold and thermal.

2. Oxygen-nitrogen (cold).

3. Methane nitrogen-methane (thermal).

4. Hydrogen sulfide-carbon dioxide thermal.

5. Nitrogen-carbon dioxide thermal.

6. Nitrogen thermal.

It is noteworthy that the first group of waters is characterized by a significant concentration of carbon dioxide (3.5-9 g/l), with carbon dioxide contained up to 95%. Rest gas composition falls to the share of nitrogen and rare gases. Carbon dioxide arsenic waters are most widespread among the Essentuki type waters (sodium chloride-hydro-carbonate). A specific microcomponent characteristic of these waters is arsenic, which is found in water in the form of arsenous acid. The maximum concentration of arsenic in Sinegorsk waters reaches 60-PO mg/l. .

Based on the concentration of arsenic in this type of water, several groups can be distinguished: 1) weak, containing 0.7-5.0 mg/l of arsenic; such waters are common in the Caucasus (Chvizhipse, Atsetuki, Avadhara, Teplinskie, Karmadon, Nakalakevi, Vardzia, Isti-Su, Dvin), in Kamchatka (Oksinskie), in Transcarpathia (Gornaya Tissa); 2) strong, containing 5-10 mg/l of arsenic; such waters are available in the Caucasus region (Nagad-zhir), in Transcarpathia (Gornaya Tissa, Goverla), in Kamchatka (Nalachevsky); 3) very strong waters, with arsenic content over 10 mg/l. These waters are located in the Caucasus region (Grushevskaya Polyana and Darydag), in Transcarpathia (Gornaya Tissa) and on Sakhalin (Sinegorsk).

It is interesting to note that the Darydag waters can bring 100 times more arsenic to the surface of the earth than the Sinegorsk waters, and contain large amounts of boron (2 g/l) and silicic acid. There is a lot of boron in Essentuki-type waters. Some waters (Grushevskaya Polyana, Gornaya Tissa and Goverla) are distinguished by a significant iron content (28-42 mg/l). In addition, very strong arsenic waters contain bromine (up to 60 mg/l) and iodine (up to 17 mg/l).

Oxygen-nitrogen (mine) arsenic waters are found in 2 types: a) purely sulfate - ferrous-aluminum and b) sulfate-hydrocarbonate - hydrocarbonate sulfate of complex cationic composition. The first type includes the Zubiya, Gai, Blyavin and Karabash waters, the second - the Kochkar, East Kounrad and Khovuaksa arsenic waters.

The third group of waters (methane and nitrogen-methane) is located, according to V.V. Ivanov (1970), within the Terek-Caspian trough. Hot springs, which ceased to exist, belonged to this type.

The last 3 groups (hydrogen sulfide-carbon dioxide, nitrogen-carbon dioxide and nitrogen-arsenic-containing thermal waters) have different mineralization. The content of hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide does not exceed 5 mg/l and the content of arsenic reaches 25 mg/l. In the last two waters, mineralization reaches 2 g/l, the concentration of arsenic does not exceed 1-2 mg/l. In similar chloride-sulfate acidic thermal waters of Japan, according to N. Kimio and N. Redzo (1970), the arsenic content in the Tashibana spring reaches 6.7 mg/l, Karabuki - 17.4 mg/l.

There are not so many analogues to local “kvass” (mineral) waters in the world. The closest ones are the French resort of La Bourboule, Baden-Baden in Germany, springs on Sakhalin Island and the Nakchivan resort in Azerbaijan.

The history of Gornaya Tisa began in 1958, when a boarding house of the same name appeared here: they planned to provide health benefits to USSR pilot-cosmonauts and nuclear power plant personnel. Lest you think that when you come here, you will live in rooms with cracked plaster, and you will take a “Charcot shower” in rooms with decrepit equipment: by 2008, the sanatorium underwent a major renovation with the replacement of Soviet equipment with modern equipment.

Sanatorium "Girna Tisa"

In Kvasy there is the only source of arsenic mineral water in Ukraine - effective in the treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, nervous system, endocrine, gynecological diseases and diseases associated with metabolic disorders.

In small doses, drinking this water tones and strengthens the body: with its help you can improve digestion, increase the hemoglobin content and the number of red blood cells in the blood, reduce the breakdown of proteins, and increase the level of absorption of phosphorus and nitrogen.

Useful arsenic

Most people associate arsenic with deadly poison, and then - surprise! - Is it still possible to treat with arsenic?

The point is this: the human body normally contains 0.1 g of arsenic, but it is unevenly distributed. The highest concentration is observed in brain tissue, muscles and organs that have a developed muscle layer - in the heart, larynx, vagina, uterus, bladder, tongue. Arsenic plays an important role here: it regulates correct use energy at the cellular level.

As soon as arsenic enters the body, the energy potential of cells and tissues increases. At the same time, arsenic can affect our body both internally and externally (for example, by taking baths in mineral water).

Arsenic - strong remedy. So strong that it can even heal an organism poisoned by polonium (when consuming sodium arsenic).

What is treated in Kvasy?

Kvass water can even be used to treat chronic and clinically combined forms of gout; improvements in liver and kidney function are observed. Positive effect Treatment may last from six months to a year.

Arsenic water enhances the protective and compensatory regulation of metabolism in arthritis and polyarthritis, eliminates metabolic disorders, and improves joint motility.

A course of arsenic-containing baths can increase the content of ribonucleic acid in cells, change the content ascorbic acid and glycogen.

Kvasovskaya mineral water has a positive effect on the processes of blood formation and the hormone-forming function of the thyroid gland.

The sanatorium specializes in:

• arthrosis-arthritis, arthrosis of various etiologies, incl. rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, gout in remission;
• osteochondrosis of the spine, including those complicated by hernias, protrusions, spondyloarthrosis, spondylolisthesis, etc.;
• Bekhterev's disease;
• scoliosis, scoliotic posture;
• hyperthyroidism (increased thyroid function);
• hypoacid gastritis;
• psoriasis;
• chronic inflammatory gynecological diseases;
• diseases of the musculoskeletal system, peripheral nervous system, vegetative-vascular disorders, including as a result of radioactive exposure;
• consequences of injuries to the joints and spine.

There is a list of contraindications for staying in the Gornaya Tisa sanatorium, including: arterial hypertension III degree, atrial fibrillation, infectious diseases, myocardial infarction (provided that the attack occurred at least 6 months ago), malignant and benign neoplasms, episyndromes, pregnancy, mental disorders, tuberculosis, as well as exacerbations of chronic diseases.

Treatment methods: baths alone are not enough

In addition to balneotherapy, at Gorná Tysa they treat with juices, herbs, needles (acupuncture), leeches and even bees - more precisely, bee products, in particular bee venom.

Methods of treatment in the sanatorium "Gornaya Tisa"

At the same time, according to the doctor’s prescription, hardware physiotherapy and biorevitalization can be added to the patient’s wellness program, thanks to which the condition of the skin can be significantly improved not only externally, but also from the inside, physiotherapy or massage, mesotherapy or ozone therapy, also eloquently called “medicine of the twentieth century.”

As for water treatments, there are countless of them! Steam treatment, arsenic mineral baths, underwater shower-massage, pearl baths, circular and ascending showers, "Charcot's shower". And here you can also go to the infrared sauna, which stimulates blood circulation and improves microcirculation, increases the content of hemoglobin and red blood cells, increases immunity, has a positive effect on the musculoskeletal system, eliminates cramps, pain in muscles and joints, insomnia and, in general, makes us human, much more calm and balanced.

In addition to all of the above, visitors will undergo a course of climatotherapy - the Carpathians are capable of creating miracles by their mere existence. It’s impossible to imagine a better forest path leading into the distance over a hill if you need to treat muscles, joints, lungs or banal human laziness. To ensure that the patient does not lose all seven sweats at once, the sanatorium has developed special routes of varying complexity, which, with or without a doctor’s prescription, can be used for healthy purposes.

Leisure

To diversify your stay at the sanatorium, you will be offered a lot of interesting things directly at its administration - walking or horseback riding, excursions to nearby and distant cities, even a cultural and local history excursion, where you will be told about the Hutsul way of life, history, and customs of the Carpathian people.

A tour of the 10 most interesting springs can last 3-4 hours! This, for example, can be negotiated with Vitaly Kabal; the cost of the excursion for the summer of 2015 was 250 hryvnia per group (contact number +38 097 998-26-89).

And finally: it’s not for nothing that Kvass was named so for its “kvass” water - there are more than 200 mineral springs here, 22 of which are large springs.
