The healing power of lakes
The most important advantage of Salt and Iletsk waters is not their warmth and density, but the healing properties of high concentrations of minerals, including bromine, chlorine, iron and boric acid.
The benefits of bathing in salty waters have been known since the ancient world – both Hippocrates and Avicenna wrote about it. Lake salts and mud have a powerful antiseptic and regenerating effect, purify the skin and mucous membranes, enhance cell viability and nourish them. Throughout history, salt and mud have been used to strengthen the bone and nervous system, enhance immunity, treat osteochondrosis, rheumatism, and many gynecological, skin, and respiratory diseases.
The shores of the Sol-Iletsk lakes are also suitable for "pebble massage" — walking on small, smooth, sun-warmed stones. This procedure stimulates blood supply, and is especially recommended for people suffering from epileptic seizures and bronchial asthma.
Infrastructure of the Resort territory
The prospects for the development of Sol-Iletsk as a resort town are:
-
Further development of health tourism is the construction of a network of hotels, both small, by local entrepreneurs, and five—star hotels, with the involvement of recognized, world-renowned international firms.
-
Creating conditions for attracting investments.
-
Construction of a modern resort. At the first stage, it will be the base of the Regional Sol-Iletsk Rehabilitation Hospital, at the second stage — the construction of a water and mud clinic with twenty mud couches and twenty baths, with a bed for 1,000 people, a caving clinic, a swimming pool, a spa clinic, etc.
There are several public catering outlets with a national oriental flavor located directly near salty reservoirs.
There is a place to play volleyball in the beach area, you can ride a camel, there is a free shower with fresh water, there is a medical center, a disco every day and the burning summer sun for everyone, without exception, regardless of skin color, age, gender, ranks, ranks and state of health.
In recent years, interest in health tourism has increased, people want to be healthy, they go not only to travel, but also to improve their health; up to a million people, according to various estimates, come to the healing lakes during the summer.
