Treatment
The Borjomi Gorge sanatorium has a pleasant secluded atmosphere mountain resort. Here there is clean mountain air, filled with the smell and phytoncides of the vast forests surrounding the gorge.
The area is located quite high above sea level, therefore, the climate here is moderate, there is practically no heat. average temperature in summer it's about 20 degrees. The surrounding mountains protect the gorge from winds and temperature changes. Winter here is not cold and there is little snow.
But the main natural factor that attracts an endless stream of vacationers here is the famous Borjomi mineral water. It is formed on high altitude and, passing through rocks, it is saturated with minerals and trace elements, which give it healing properties.
There are two types of water at the Borjomi resort.
This is, firstly, sodium bicarbonate water with a mineralization of less than 100 mg/l. In addition to sodium and carbon dioxide, such water contains a number of minerals, such as magnesium, calcium, potassium and fluorine.
Thanks to this, such water normalizes the mineral and acid-base balance of the body, and its low mineralization allows it to be used constantly as a drinking water. The main property of local water is its ability to prevent stone formation in the gastrointestinal and urinary tract.
The second type of water is hydrogen sulfide. The effect of such water on the body is that under the influence of hydrogen sulfide, capillary blood circulation significantly increases in almost all organs, especially in the skin.
Thanks to this, the nutrition of organs and tissues is improved, systemic blood pressure is reduced, the supply of oxygen to the heart and kidneys is improved, and the elimination of toxic substances and cell waste products is accelerated. All this helps to improve the functions of almost all organs and overall health.
The sanatorium has a pump room with round-the-clock water supply. Considering that the resort’s water is classified as drinking water, visitors can use it for health improvement at any time.
