The composition of the water includes a large number of components - from bromine and chlorine to the rare metals. Because of such high salinity (salt content is 10 times greater than in the salt from the seas of the world) the water is very "dense" and resembles a thick brine. And that salts provide the world-famous medicinal properties of the local water and mud.

Bathing in a dense, oily to the touch water leaves an unforgettable experience and eliminates many diseases. Clean, dry, high bromine concentration and nearly dust-free air at a pressure of about 800 mm. Hg. st., is another factor treatment. Yes, and the sun's rays are filtered by an additional layer of air (as does the 400 meters. "Above the norm"), and evaporation from the surface of the water acts as a polarizing filter. Thanks to this ultraviolet radiation from the sun is strongly attenuated, which creates ideal conditions for heliotherapy.
