Abstract:

Improvement of sanatorium-resort treatment system is among the priority tasks of healthcare. Balneotherapeutic methods occupy one of the first places in terms of the effectiveness of treatment of many diseases, that is especially relevant for the population living in harsh natural climatic conditions of the North.

OBJECTIVE

To assess the physiological action of natural mineral waters of the «Seregovo» sanatorium of the Komi Republic.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

An analysis of publications from databases of electronic sources (WOS, Scopus, PubMed, eLibrary) over the last 20 years, in which the results of mineral waters application are presented, was performed. The results of the study of composition and quality of mineral waters of the «Seregovo» sanatorium of the Komi Republic are presented (conclusion of the National Medical Research Center for Rehabilitation and Balneology (NMRC RB) and materials obtained by Institute of Geology of the Komi Scientific Center of the Ural branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences).

RESULTS

Distribution and diversity of mineral waters of the territory of the «Seregovo» sanatorium of the Komi Republic are presented. Mineral water from the 1K well refers to the subcategory of brines (over 35.0 g/dm3 but not more than 150.0 g/dm3), is of sodium-chloride composition (Cl^– 100, Na⁺+K⁺79 mg eq.%), with total mineralization of M100.9 g/dm3, with pH equal 6.22, with conditioned content of bromine and boron according to the balneological conclusion №7-1372 from 24.05.2022 by the NMRC RB of the Ministry of Health of Russia. Physiological and therapeutic effects of sodium chloride mineral waters have been shown according to the literature.

CONCLUSION

The diversity of natural mineral waters and dynamic change of their composition over time require periodic controlled study of their impact on human body. Evaluation of available literature data can serve as a basis for clarification of indications and contraindications to balneotherapy, that contributes to improvement of the effectiveness of sanatorium-resort treatment in health care centers of the Komi Republic.
