SPA - sanatoriums. Thermal waters of Negombo, Ischia, Italy. Famous spa resorts in exotic countries

SPA: "Sanus (health) per (through) Aqua (water)." From the literal translation, it immediately follows that the spa gives us the opportunity to improve our health. Moreover, it should be noted that along with physical health, a person acquires spiritual health. Which is an important criterion in our time of constant stress. And so, after a hard working day (if time permits, of course) or at the end of a difficult week, I found some time for my beloved and visited this miracle of human progress in the form of a spa salon. And they will take care of you, rest assured! Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of harmony, relax and unwind. Get a powerful charge of vivacity and strength, in general, as if you were in paradise. What am I telling you, for sure many of you are fans of these truly divine places. Many, but of course not all: some don’t have finances, some don’t have time, but don’t be upset, because you can arrange a spa for yourself at home.

So, about home spa procedures in more detail in other articles, but now I would like to draw your attention to the fact that along with all kinds of spa salons and homemade notions, you can fork out and go to a spa resort. Believe me, you will not regret the money spent. Moreover, the spa industry today is quite well developed in different countries. At this point, any fussy person will choose a spa resort that is right for her. But there are really plenty to choose a spa resort from: from the azure shores to the snow-capped mountains. I would like to present you the spa resorts of the world, highlighting the best of them, but, in my opinion, this mission is not feasible, because all spa resorts are different and good in their own way. In addition, to each his own, because, as you know, there are no comrades for the taste and color.

To start a review for true patriots, let's go over boundless expanses our great country.

In Russia, undoubtedly, the most popular spa resorts are the cities of the Caucasian Mineral Waters - Kislovodsk, Pyatigorsk, Essentuki, Zheleznovodsk.

But Pyatigorsk should be visited by those who complain of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, in particular, spondylarthrosis, osteochondrosis, deforming osteoarthritis, arthritis and polyarthritis, the consequences of fractures of the bones of the trunk and limbs, chronic myositis, myalgia, etc., on this moment this is the main focus here. But besides this, in Pyatigorsk, patients with diseases of the eyes, skin, peripheral vessels, digestive organs, diseases of the nervous system, gynecological diseases, diseases of the ear, nose and throat are treated. In general, a fairly wide range. The main elements of treatment in Pyatigorsk are: internal and external use of mineral waters and mud therapy.

But for those who are concerned about diseases gastrointestinal tract and the endocrine system is a direct road to treatment in Essentuki. Treatment is carried out through the use of hydrochloric-alkaline waters. There are 3 types of water on Essentuki: 1) Essentuki No. 4 - these waters are therapeutic and mineral, their composition: sodium chloride-hydrocarbonate 2) Essentuki No. 17 - therapeutic and drinking, composition: chloride-sodium and 3) Essentuki-Novaya: has the richest composition: chloride-sulfate-hydrocarbonate calcium-sodium, plus it has an increased content of magnesium ions.

It should be noted that any spa treatment in the cities of the Caucasian Mineralnye Vody begins with a comprehensive examination by the attending physician of the sanatorium. The procedure is repeated before leaving home to identify the health improvements that have occurred. From myself I will add that in such an expiration of circumstances, it will be useful to take your medical card with you.

Despite the fact that there is snow around the lake almost all year round, the water itself is very warm (on average + 39C). In addition, the white-blue color of the water is amazing, but not surprisingly, it has such a color due to the high concentration of silicon.Only in the waters of the "Blue Lagoon" there are silicon bacteria and blue-green algae.
