After full softening fruit sokovarku dismantled, poured the remainder of the second pan juices in the pan-collector. If the resulting juice has a temperature of not lower than 80 ° C, it immediately pour into hot, pre-sterilized cans and hermetically closed. If the juice is cooled, it is heated to 80-85 ° C and poured. Similarly, in sokovarke can get juice from other fruits and berries. From the mass remaining in the colander, cook potatoes, and from it - candy, jam, podvarku, juice with pulp. For harvesting potatoes in store it is heated to 85-90 ° C, pour into hot sterilized cans and roll their metal lids.

Apple juice with SUGARS

Use mainly optimally ripe summer fruits and ranneosennih varieties. Get them the usual pressing of the juice can be difficult, because due to the softness of the fruit, he became very muddy. When extracting the juice out of his sugar is low. But it can get a beautiful, full of juice and other products. Juice is prepared from treated and untreated fruits. It should be remembered that most vitamins in the skins and outer layers of flesh. If the juice is prepared from the fruit without skin, the rind is used for making syrup. The fruits are washed, cut into slices with thickness of 20-25 mm, remove the stalk, seed cells, washed with boiled water, obsushivayut in gauze, put in a pan, interspersed with sugar (400-500 g per 1 kg of fruits, depending on their taste), stand at room temperature for 6-8 and in the refrigerator - 12-16 h, poured juice, heated to 80-85 ° C and hot filled into cans or bottles. If you store no more than 2,5 months of juice is not heated, and placed in a refrigerator. Of the remaining fruit is boiled jam or marmalade. You can also make pear and quince juice. At 10 liters pear juice spend about 18-20 kg of pears, and 10 liters / Aubergine Paste - 20-22 kg of quince.

APPLE Juice

Tasty and healthy juice can be obtained from the apples of autumn and winter varieties. The quality of the juice also depends on the degree of ripeness of apples. From Immature fruit goes sour and astringent juice of overripe - muddy. Therefore, for the processing of juice apples should be selected technical maturity, ie, when they reached a size, color, aroma, characteristic pomologicheskomu class, but still solid. Ripe fruit drop of winter varieties of apples should be processed on the day of collection. To improve the vitamin juice can for every 3 kg of apple cultivars to add 1 kg of apples or polukulturnyh forest classes (iris, Chinese apples). In principle, the fruits of summer, autumn and winter varieties of apples suitable for processing into juice. If possible, the better to prepare a mixture of apple juice from different varieties. For example, fruit Antonovka very fragrant and have a sour taste in the Fall of striped (Shtreyfling) - have a sweet taste in a mixture of 1:2 (1 kg Antonovka Shtreyflinga 2 kg), they will give excellent fragrant sweet-sour juice. The juice of the sweet apples and fresh Delicious malovitaminny. Therefore, to him should definitely add apples Calvin snow or Mekintosh or Boiko. Juices from fresh or sour apples may be provided at a semi-finished products for cocktails and to produce blended juices. 
Selected for processing apples are thoroughly washed, cut out the rotten place (otherwise the juice will smell like mold!) And darkened (brown) from blows pulp (such dark dents often on dropped). Then the apples are ground - better to elektroovoscherezke Knife shinkovaniya carrots or diced. You can use mechanical vegetable grater with large holes or a meat grinder with large bars. To juice is not oxidized, it is better to use an enamel grinder. 

Fruits should grind so that they become a mass consisting of pieces of 5-10 mm. At the same time not too crush them. If you make the fruit puree in the mass, then it will be difficult to separate the juice and got very muddy. Pulp is pressed flat on a manual screw press (as in obtaining grape juice) or use Electrojuice, auger juicer, steamer. When using the steamer apples better peel, seed and stalk cells, while the remaining sauce can be used for making jam. The collected juice was filtered through 2 -3 layer of gauze or flannel in a pot, which put on a strong fire and heated to 90-95 ° C, ie, almost to a boil, make sure to remove the foam. This juice is lightened. Then the juice is hot again filtered through 2-3 layers of gauze, cotton, and 2-3 layers of gauze. The filtered juice is again heated to 80-85 ° C, hot-filled into cans and arouse. The juice can be heated and only once. In this case, it will be with sediment. To release the juice from the sediment can be as follows. Before use, the jar with juice lowered one end of rubber hose, the other - in an empty jar, which is installed on a lot below the bottom of cans of juice. Juice spill into the empty jar, and the residue left on the bottom of the banks. 

In apple juice, as well as in grape, if desired, you can add sugar. This is done or before pasteurization, or immediately prior to use in the winter. In addition, in apple juice to improve flavor you can add different herbs. 

First method. Freshly picked, or dried grass, pour a small amount of juice (that was covered with grass), bring to a boil, cover with lid and cooled at room temperature. Lukewarm brew is filtered through a dense fabric, followed by squeezing the grass and mix it with the remaining juice. Flavored juice is heated over high heat until 85 ° C, quickly poured into containers and hermetically sealed by. 

Second method. Freshly plucked grass (selected weeds and impurities), thoroughly washed, dried, spread one layer on a clean cloth (towel) in a shaded spot, cut into pieces or taken apart in the twigs. Heated to 40-50 ° C juice is poured into the banks, there also lay the grass and then pasteurized at a temperature of 90 ° C banks with a capacity of 0,5 l 15 min, 1 l - 20 min and 3 L - 30 min. To add flavor of apple juice used oregano, thyme, balm, lofant, as well as cloves and cinnamon. If the juice flavored infusion of herbs or spices, then to 1 liter of juice taken 10 g of fresh, 20 g of dry grass or 0.5 g of cloves and cinnamon. 
If the juice flavored with fresh herbs, then to 1 liter of 5 g is sufficient or 3-5 pcs. cloves and a pinch of cinnamon. At 10 liters of juice consume 16-17 kg of apples

GRAPES Juice

To prepare juice suitable ripe berries almost all varieties of grapes (and dining rooms, and technical). Freshly-harvested grapes are browsing, removing damaged fruit, then carefully washed. If the clusters have left traces of toxic chemicals, they are pre-dipped in 1% solution of hydrochloric acid for 1-2 minutes, then wash under the tap. 

Upon receipt of juice from white grapes berries from the ridges are not separated. When producing red juice combs are removed and crushed berries (pulp) before pressing necessarily heated to a temperature of 50 ° C, stirring constantly wooden spatula. Pulp is maintained at this temperature for 5-10 minutes. Then it cools down a bit under the lid, and a good warm it pressed flat. Such processing is necessary to extract juice bright ruby color. From the pulp of red grape varieties are mainly colorless juice. The main painting substance juice is a thin skin. In addition, it contains more tannic and aromatic substances. The high temperature skin is destroyed, it all goes into the juice. However, it should strictly maintain the temperature and duration of heating. Prolonged heating or heating at high temperatures juice has a rough, astringent taste. It destroys vitamins and aromatic substances. Juice gets very dark color and taste boiled. 

The juice obtained by pressing, muddy. There may be particles of pulp, skin, etc. Therefore, it should filter (filtered) through the dense fabric (flannel, linen in two layers), and in the presence of a refrigerator - to give stand for 8.12 h. This length of time the juice can only stand in a refrigerator at a temperature no higher than 5 ° C. In other juice may begin to ferment and lose all your valuable qualities. Then carefully pour the juice should be. Since cook the juice with a large amount of raw materials (over 10 kg). If the material is small, the juice can be obtained by hand auger juicers, Electrojuice or sokovarki. Pasteurize the juice obtained by pressing, with screw or Electrojuice, in two ways: hot spill or pasteurization in the container. 

With the first method the juice in a saucepan of unoxidizable material bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the flame to the slight boil and quickly pour the juice in a pre-washed and treated with hot steam banks. This work easier vypolnyat together. One feeds on the plate scalded Bank, the second fills her juice, closes the lid and put on the table. At this time, the first puts a new bank for shparki, and then rolls up the bank, filled with juice, turns it on the cover, etc. In the second method, the filtered juice is heated to a temperature of 50-60 ° C, poured into scalded jars, cover with a lid and put on the bath, ie, in a pan of hot (not less than 40 and not above 60 ° C) water. At the bottom of the pot put a wooden or metal bars. And if the lattice is not, put a cloth folded several times. The water level should be below the bottom of the bottle banks in the 1-2 cm With this method of pasteurization is necessary to choose a uniform capacity for containers. The second method is more commonly used for packaging juice in small containers (less than 1 liter), as well as in hot spills juice in a small container cools rapidly and do not have time to go through pasteurization. Part of the yeast cells in it are alive and after a while begin to develop, which causes bombazh lids. This juice is not suitable for consumption. 

The juice is pasteurized at a temperature of 85 ° C: banks with a capacity 0,5-0,75 l - 15 min, 1 l - 20 min. The juice can be poured into bottles and different capacity, but they need to advance to pick up traffic jams (they can be plastic or cork, produced from the bark of the cork tree). Corks, like bottles, carefully pre-washed in a solution of baking soda, and even plastic and with a brush, then rinsed several times in hot water and pour over boiling water before use. Bottled juice lightly cover plugs and pasteurized. After pasteurization, cork tightly. When the bottles with the juice cool down so that they can hold hands, plugs treated with wax, paraffin wax. It is best to just dip the bottle with the cork in melted paraffin or sealing wax. There are years when the grapes do not accumulate a sufficient amount of sugar. In this case the juice to taste to add sugar. It would do so. Example, determined that 0.5 liters of juice you need to add 1 hour or 1 tbsp. spoonful of sugar. Determine how many spoons to the entire volume of juice and poured it into a small pan, add little to the same juice, put it on the fire and bring to a complete dissolution. Then mixed with the remaining juice and only after that flash pasteurization. Pasteurized juice can be stored at room temperature for 1-2 years. However, it is better to keep at a low temperature - 5-10 ° C. After 20-30 days of storage at the bottom of the container must be rolled cake, and juice will be clear, transparent. In precipitated particles remaining grape pulp, yeast cells, cream of tartar. Before use, the juice should not be shaken. The clarified grape juice is used as a dessert, as a component for making cocktails, as well as for baby and dietetic foods. At 10 liters of juice spend about 15 kg of grapes.

How to choose mineral water?

Overall utility from a bottle of water is not as straight from the source. But if no such possibility, at least, choose life. After all, many waters, which are now sold, artificial, according to the formula they coincide, for example, famous brands of mineral water, but the structure they have another. Doctors at Resorts know very well that the therapeutic effect of artificial water is much smaller. 

By the way, do not think that the best water - the one that was brought from afar, and it is likely that, breaking through the hole in the country, you become the owner of the source of this mineral water. But for safety and in order to know the composition of your water, be sure to return it for analysis. 


How to read a label? 


Expiration. Water, like food, can spoil. So pay attention to the date of bottling and keep in mind: water in glass bottles stored up to 2 years, and in plastic - 18 months. 

Chemical and physical analysis. The label must indicate the date and name of the laboratory, which were analyzed. These must be renewed every 5 years, so if your bottle does "1995", to drink water from it not worth it. 

Category. Depending on the quantity and composition of mineral salts, water is: oligomineralnaya, mineral or slabomineralnaya, sulfate, chloride, calcium, magnesium, sodium, fluoride, containing bicarbonates, glandular, sodium, acid, microbiologically clean. Each - its peculiarities. 

Precipitate. Audiences can only drink mineral water - those that contain no more than 500 mg of salt per liter. Water with salinity from 500 to 1500 mg / l drink can only be alternated with a dining room, otherwise the body will begin the accumulation of salts, especially sodium. As for water, a liter of which contains more than 1500 mg of salt, then it must be consumed only on prescription. It is no longer drink, and medicine! 


SALT WATER 


Bicarbonate water. Contains: more than 600 milligrams of bicarbonate per liter. 

Best for: people who are actively involved in sports, babies (especially with frequent vomiting), and patients with cystitis. 

Contra: those who suffer from gastritis, because in such water contains carbonic acid anhydrides, and in large quantities it can hurt. 

Sulphated water. Contains: more than 200 milligrams of sulfate per liter. 

Best for: those who have liver problems in addition, this water is given a laxative effect. 

Contra: as sulfates can interfere with absorption of calcium (and hence the formation of bones), this water should not drink to children and adolescents. 

Chloride water. Contains: more than 200 milligrams of chloride per liter. 

Recommended: chlorides, often combined with sodium to help regulate the intestines, biliary tract and liver, so the water is to drink to those who have problems in this area. 

Contra: people suffering from high blood pressure. 

Magnesium water. Contains: more than 50 milligrams of magnesium per liter. 

Recommended by: in stressful situations, since magnesium is involved in the mechanism regulating the body's reaction to stress. 

Contra: people prone to indigestion. 

Fluoride water. Contains: more than 1 milligram of fluoride per liter. 

Recommended by: pregnant women, people suffering from osteoporosis (especially useful for her to alternate with water rich in calcium), as well as those who live in an area where fluoridated tap water. 

Contra: adults and children who take fluoride tablets and live in areas where tap water is fluoridated. 

Glandular water. Contains: more than 1 milligram of iron per liter. 

Best for: people suffering from iron deficiency anemia. 

Contra: those who pro6lemy with stomach and duodenal ulcers (including peptic ulcer disease). 

Acid water. Contains: more than 250 milligrams per liter of carbonic acid anhydrides. 

Best for: those with lowered gastric acidity. 

Contra: people with gastritis, ulcers, hyperacidity, flatulence. 

Sodium water. Contains: more than 200 milligrams of sodium per liter. 

Recommended by: in poor digestion (in conjunction with the chloride water). 

Contra: high blood pressure and those who spelled low salt diet. 

Calcium water. Contains: more than 150 milligrams of calcium per liter. 

Best for: people who are not drinking milk, pregnant women, and children and adolescents. According to recent studies conducted in the U.S., this water lowers blood pressure in hypertensives. 

Contra: no strict contraindications. 

SOFT AND HARD 

One of the main characteristics of mineral water - its rigidity, that is, the degree of the total content of calcium and magnesium. Hard water is recommended for children, the elderly and those suffering from osteoporosis. Soft as good fit for the preparation of infusions, decoctions, medicinal syrups, liqueurs. True, some scientists believe that soft water contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease, but no serious evidence of this yet. 

Acidity 

The pH indicates the acidity of water and indicated by scores on a scale from 0 to 14. The ideal pH level for mineral water - 7. Water with a pH indicator is greater than 7 are alkaline, and less than 7 - acid. However, even if you want to reduce the acidity of gastric choose water with pH slightly above 7.

Underwater secrets of life-giving water

Mineral water is used for medicinal purposes for more than two millennia. This natural remedy helps in violation of the physiological and biochemical processes. The history of mineral water in Russia began in 18 century. Peter I, in addition to other achievements of the West, attracted European and resorts located near the mineral springs. In his order on Martsialny (iron) waters in Olonetsk province of Karelia, was built first hydropathic resort in Russia. And in 1803, Alexander I recognized the public importance of the Caucasian Mineral Waters. The composition of water and its effects on people began to explore medical scientists. Since that time, the sources of the Caucasus have gained the most popularity. 

As to the actual composition of Minvodi, then it should not contain sweeteners or chemical additives, calories and sugar. If it and added flavors, extracts and essences, then their number should be less than one percent of the total weight of the product. To potable water is artesian (underground water, enclosed between layers of rock), mineral (its mineral content is not less than 250 mg / dm 3), purified water (treated by distillation), soda (its structure includes carbon dioxide) and spring water extracted from sources located on the surface of the earth. Mineral water - is, above all, the underground water sources. Centuries or even millennia ago rainwater went deep into the ground, seeping through the crevices and pores of different layers of rock, to give her various mineral substances. According to the chemical composition of mineral water is divided into several types: bicarbonate, chloride, sulfate, mixed, biologically active and soda. Bicarbonate water reduces gastric acidity, chloride - stimulate metabolic processes in the body, enhance the secretion of stomach, pancreas, small intestine, sulfate -- stimulate the motility of the gastrointestinal tract, a positive effect on the restoration of the liver and gall bladder. Most mineral waters are a complex hybrid structure (chloride-sulfate, bicarbonate-sulfate). 

As the degree of concentration of mineral salts, natural mineral waters are divided into dining rooms, dining rooms and medical treatment. The salt content in the dining room mineral water does not exceed 1 gram per liter of water. Such water is suitable for everyday use, it has no foreign smell and taste and is the basis for some soft drinks. In the medical-table water can contain from 1 to 10 grams of salt per liter. You can drink as well as the dining room, or systematically applied for treatment. Healing mineral water is recommended for use only on doctor's advice, because it is the most saturated in salt composition - more than 10 grams per liter, or contains an increased number of active trace elements, such as arsenic or boron. At constant use silnomineralizovannoy water can cause the kidneys and joints serious harm. The natural mineral water should be distinguished from the widespread mineralized artificially. It comes from an artesian or tap water, which exposes the deep cleaning, and then saturated with salts. This product is in conformity with GOST considered soft drinks and has no relation to the mineral waters. It is not harmful to health, but also benefit from its use is low. Of course, nothing good is expected from the fake "mineral water" which is either made from tap or well water of unknown quality, mixed with salt and soda, and sometimes with the addition of iodine, or are so oversaturated with salts, it leads to disruption of water salt balance and cardiovascular disease in those who consume it. 

To distinguish forgery can be at a low price - about 5% lower than in most retail outlets. The natural salts precipitate is allowed only for medical treatment. In the dining-room mineral water has no smell and sludge. When selecting water should pay attention to the date of the spill. Expiration of mineral water in glass bottles is 2 years in plastic - 18 months. Typically, this mineral water is sold rather quickly, so if the product is released over six months ago, it might be fake. The glass bottle is more difficult to fake, so fake usually bottled in plastic containers, dangerous in itself, as opposed to bottles polietilftalata. The label of the original water must be given its composition and number of wells, address and telephone number of the manufacturer, designation (cafeteria, medical and dining room, or medical), as well as the level of mineralization and chemical composition, and for medical treatment - recommendations for the application. The very label must be clearly printed and neatly glued.

Water resort home

Mineral water is useful not only to sober up and ulcer. 
Another 4 thousand years ago people in the North Caucasus have noticed the amazing curative properties of water from a mountain spring that heals the wounds. Modern medical research capabilities of different mineral water proof: they are really able to recuperate, strengthen the immune system and rejuvenate the body. 

The Beneficial stress 

Mineral water - the easiest way to support the health of the reserve forces, especially in the spring off-season. By the way, the biggest benefit of mineral water brings it to healthy people, ie those with no chronic diseases and pathologies. 

The action of mineral water is very thin: the cells of the stomach feeling a little stress, when the mineral water gets inside. Stressful situation runs counter-active effect of hormones - in the mucous membranes of the stomach and upper digestive system is 80% of those valuable enzymes. Stimulating the production of these hormones, mineral water activates the function of internal organs. 

But the body gets used to light stress rather quickly, and then the effect of water stops. Therefore, even the rich and the healing water, doctors do not recommend drinking for longer than 2-3 weeks. During this time, the minerals are creating a special protective barrier of the immune system, which is another two - three months suppresses the sensitivity of the organism to stress. After a 6-month hiatus, when the stomach "forget" about the action of water, you can return to the preventive windfall. 

Weak and strong 

Mineral water, regardless of the type of minerals are divided into two main types: strong and weak influence on the activity of hormones of the stomach and intestines. The strongest impact is on the water "Essentuki» № 17 - it contains sodium, chlorine and hydrogen carbonate saturation of 12 grams per liter. This is followed by "Essentuki» № 4 (saturated with minerals in the amount of 8 g / l) and Borjomi. 

Natural carbon dioxide bubbling in the mineral water, creates a sense of the rapid filling of the stomach, forcing authorities to work intensively on gastric secretion. So of highly water, increase the activity of the stomach, are recommended when atonic stomach (eg, diabetics). But people suffering from peptic ulcer disease and diseases caused by hyperactivity of the upper parts of the digestive system, it is better to drink non-carbonated mineral water. Virtually healthy people is best to use srednemineralizovannye and srednegazirovannye water. 

Important 

1. If long hours and often drink mineral water, there is a danger transmineralizatsii - excessive accumulation of minerals in the body. Hence, the main rule: drink mineral water as necessary to prevent addiction to it. 

2. Chilled mineral water stimulates stomach harder than warm. For the recovery and recuperation doctors recommend drinking mineral water for 15 minutes before meals. If you forget to buy mineral water or cooled, a glass of cold boiled water can replace it, but the stimulation of the stomach will be weaker. 

3. Drink after a meal and drink mineral water is not harmful food (mineral water is compatible with any food), but the benefits of the drink is lost.

What is mineral water?

Eastern peoples reverently refer to water, considering it one of the main elements of the universe. The local sages believe that the water from local springs relaxes, soothes, relieves irritation, fever and aggression. 
History of the use of mineral water has many hundreds of years. 

In ancient times the Greeks constructed from local springs sanctuary dedicated to the god Asclepius (the Romans in similar places erected temples in honor of Aesculapius) - the patron of medicine. In Greece, archaeologists discovered the ruins of ancient spas, built around the VI century BC The remains of ancient baths and we have found in the Caucasus, where not only swim, but were treated with mineral waters. From generation to generation by oral tradition about the miraculous properties of the waters, here hitting out of the ground. 

History of the study and use of mineral waters of Russia with the name of Peter I, 285 years ago, commanded by his decree sought in Russia key water. In his order on Martsialny (iron) waters in Olonetsk province of Karelia, was built first hydropathic resort in Russia. In 1803 Alexander I was recognized national importance of the Caucasian mineral waters and began to study their medicinal properties. In 1825 was published the Russian chemist G. Hess, who studied the chemical composition and effect of Russian curative waters. 

Mineral water - it is rainwater, which for many centuries or even millennia ago, had gone deep into the ground, seeping through the crevices and pores of different layers of rock. At the same time it absorbed various mineral substances in the rock. From just a natural water from subterranean sources and the open water mineral water are different composition. The deeper they occur, the warmer and richer in carbon dioxide and minerals. In addition, the deeper the water penetrates into the rock, the more it is cleared. 

In such water mineral substances accumulate naturally as far as passing it through geological formations. Thus, mineral water - the water is primarily groundwater sources. 

It should be clearly distinguished drinking and mineral water. 
In accordance with the Codex Alimentarius - the main UN food standards - these differences are as follows: 


Mineral water is extracted from natural springs or boreholes, without external influence on the chemical and physical properties of natural mineral water; 

the presence of mineral salts in the water in certain proportions and the presence of trace substances and other constituents; 

collection of water is carried out in conditions which ensure its original microbiological purity and stable chemical composition of its existing components. 


Someone said that the mineral water capricious and require delicate handling, they are softer precious wines. Indeed, the water from the source must be very carefully lift from the deep bowels of the earth, and then packed into a convenient and safe packaging, to keep unchanged the unique program, which is implanted in her nature. 

Mineral water is better absorbed by the body, and bypassing the stomach, reacts with gastric juice, the carbon dioxide released and stimulates the secretory activity of the stomach. Increases appetite and mood. That is why those same Frenchmen on the dining table next to the bread is certainly worth a bottle of water. 

They are trying to quench thirst and mineral water. Thirst can also occur in healthy people when they lose water, especially in summer. And with the loss of water and we lose a certain amount of salt. Compensate for this loss is best mineral water. 

Today, Russia is going through literally the mineral boom. According to Goskomstat in Russia at present registered over 700 names of mineral water. However, in spite of that on the consumption of mineral water per capita, we significantly lag behind the industrialized countries. According to statistics, the average European today is about 100 liters of mineral water per year. Thus, the Austrian drinks 72 liters a year, the Frenchman - 80 liters, Italian - 116 liters, and in one German is about 129 liters of mineral water per year. Russians drink 10 liters per year of mineral water. However, analysts say, is the amount of twice during the Soviet Union. 

mineral water market is estimated at 1.2 billion liters per year. Annual market growth is around 10-15%. 
And while it should be noted that the consumption of mineral water is becoming increasingly popular.

Mineral water is ...

Balneology (studying mineral water and its therapeutic and prophylactic use) divides the water: 

dining (salt content up to 1 g / l); 
Medicinal, Table (salts from 1 to 10 g / l); 
treatment (with a salinity of more than 10 g / l). 
To also include treatment of water with high content of one or more biologically active elements (iron, hydrogen sulfide, iodine, bromine, fluorine, etc.), the total mineralization may be low. 

Mineral water is bottled in accordance with the technological instructions and sanitary requirements, compliance with which is certified by special certificates. Before bottling mineral water is filtered through a ceramic or asbestos filters and cleaned from impurities. The content of organic substances in water canteen is not allowed in the dining room treatment should not exceed 10 IPF-1, and in medical - 30 of IPF-1. 

After filtration, the medical-table and therapeutic waters enter the jerk (jerk - equipment for carbonating mineral water and carbonated soft drinks), which are saturated with carbon dioxide under pressure in four of the atmosphere. 

The content of carbon dioxide bottle water should be not less than 0,3%, and iron is even higher - 0.4%. Then, saturated with carbon dioxide water bottled in plastic or PET bottles (volume 2, 1,5 and 1 liter) or glass bottles of 0.5 liters of yellow-green glass. More bottled water, hermetically sealed with special metal or plastic spacers from polymeric material or crusts. 

Canteen of water is also produced in non-carbonated form. In appearance bottled water should be transparent, colorless, does not have a sharp odor and impurities. Slight natural sediment in the water of mineral salts. Each bottle must have a special label, which listed the manufacturer, the name of the water volume, source name and number of wells, salinity and chemical composition, name and designation of water, recommendations for its use and storage, the date of bottling and storage time, the bar code .

Types of mineral water

Medical power of underground water for the ancient people were a mystery. It is sometimes attributed to some mysterious creatures supposedly lived in springs. However, have been taken and scientific attempts to explain the effectiveness of mineral waters. 

Arhigenes Greek physician who lived in I century BC. e., one of the world's first claimed that the secret of underground water - in their composition. He even engaged in systematization of water, dividing them into 4 groups: alkaline, iron, salt and sulfur. About 2 thousand years have passed since then. Today no one doubts that the strength of these waters is caused by the substances contained. Some substances contained in mineral waters in the form of ions, the other in the form of undissociated molecules, and others are colloidal particles. Of course, the various mineral waters are different from each other and a set of components and their ratio. Some of these "living waters" suitable for drinking, others for medicinal baths. 

Although the majority of buyers all mineral water - on one person, in fact, their varieties are vast. 

The chemical composition of six different classes of mineral water: bicarbonate, chloride, sulfate, mixed, biologically active and aerated. 

Bicarbonate water reduces the acidity of gastric juice. However, depending on the application of the method are capable to stimulate, and inhibit the secretion of gastric juice. They are used in the treatment of urolithiasis. 

Chloride water stimulates metabolic processes in the body, improve the secretion of stomach, pancreas, small intestine. They are used in disorders of the digestive system. 

Sulfate water stimulates motility of the gastrointestinal tract, especially a favorable effect on the restoration of the liver and gallbladder. They are used in diseases of biliary tract, chronic hepatitis, diabetes, obesity. 

Most mineral waters are a complex hybrid structure (chloride-sulfate, bicarbonate, sulfate, etc.), which increases their therapeutic effect when used correctly. 

As the temperature of mineral water are divided into cold (up to 20 ° C), subthermal (20 - 37 ° C), thermal (37 - 42 ° C) and hyperthermal (over 42 ° C). 
As the degree of concentration of mineral salts, natural mineral waters are divided into: 

- Canteen 
- Medical stlovye 
- Spa 

Dining. Mineral (natural) water is suitable for everyday use. The salt content in it does not exceed 1 gram per liter of water. 

As a rule, it is mild, pleasant taste, without any foreign smell and taste. Not by chance on the basis of table water produced soft drinks. 
Therapeutic dining. This water can contain from 1 to 10 grams of salt per liter of water. The advantage of medical table mineral waters, which include such products of JSC "Istok", as the popular water "Crystal source", "Healing the source, is their versatility: they can be used as a table and drink regularly - for treatment. 

Therapeutic. Most saturated salt composition of water. This category includes mineral water with a salinity - more than 10 grams per liter, or water with high content of active trace elements, such as arsenic or boron. It should drink strictly on the advice of a doctor. 

In addition to natural mineral waters are artificially mineralized water. 

Production of artificial mineral water is 2 stages. First, the water pumped out, either from an artesian well, and most of the water, then subjected to a deep cleaning. Careful filtering removes not only harmful impurities, but all the useful salts and minerals. And that water could still be called mineral inevitable second stage - an utterly purified water artificially "inject" useful properties, saturated with salts. The output is not that active living environment, but simply a solution of salts. Kecantikan, or repairing the water on the guests are treated to a class of non-alcoholic beverages and no relation to the mineral waters is not. 

Artificial mineral water is not harmful, but useful properties it is not enough. Contaminated waste water civilization, which was at hand, just cleaned, and then saturated with salts. 

Production of artificial water has become a massive industry. On the counters appeared clandestinely produced water, sub-standard. In Moscow, it takes up to 55% of the market Minvod. Naturally, a glut can take place either undersaturation of its salts. Chronic use of such water could lead to deposition of salts, disruption in the body of water-salt balance and the development of cardiovascular disease. 
Mineral water can be local and imported. The role of local groundwater increases significantly. This is due to the fact that in recent decades due to intensive water extraction, the mineralization of a number of well-known brands of mineral water has changed. Since uncontrolled exploitation of the source Essentuki 20 led not only to a change in the quality of the water, but her health and bacteriological contamination. As a result, use for drinking purposes and bottling water Essentuki 20 is not carried out. 

All information about the mineral water produced in Russia, is given on the label. It states its purpose: dining room, dining room or a therapeutic spa, as well as the level of mineralization (usually - in percentage). Also necessarily an indication of the chemical composition, and for the healing waters and recommendations for the application

Mineral water - is water underground sources

Mineral water - is water underground sources. Their main difference from the usual water flowing into our faucets - a constant chemical composition. True, there are places where the same water they drink from the tap and bottled as mineral. For example, a well-known mineral water "Sarovar" is extracted from the borehole, which supplies drinking water to the entire city Sarov. But it is rather an exception. Even if the water is in water supply from underground sources and contains various salts, multi-stage cleaning all the time changing its composition. 

Any water from the underground, subterranean sources, or the open water contains mineral salts, they are not only in distilled water. But the composition of water from subterranean sources and open water varies depending on the seasons, the weather conditions. In a certain moment this water to their quality may be similar to any mineral, the water we drink from the bottles. But it nevertheless drinking, since the main requirement, which is presented to her guests, it the absence of harmful impurities, which provides cleaning system. The mineral water is under the influence of certain factors formed hundreds of years in underground sources, and their membership in a particular field is always stable. 

In many developed countries, consumption of mineral water exceeds 100 liters per person per year. In the CIS countries produced more than 500 types of mineral waters, with more than 90% of them - from Russia. But despite these impressive figures, the mineral water is not enough: each of us in the year accounted for only two (!) * Liters of water domestic bottling. One factory in Italy produces mineral water more than the whole of Russia! And demand for these products is steadily increasing. Abundance import some softening, but does not save the situation. According to experts, the demand for mineral waters in Russia the market is satisfied, only 50%.

Curative drink - mineral water

Mineral water has always been considered a medicinal drink. To this day, preserved the custom of sending the patient "on the water" for treatment. If not - does not matter, "mineral water" can be bought in almost any store. 

Doctors say that our body requires daily about 2-3 liters of water. With food we get about 1.5 liters, yet half-liter delivers the organism itself. Therefore, the more we drink clean water, the more we help our body to clear waste materials and other harmful substances. 

However, in the water from the tap contains not only the salts of various metals (iron, copper, manganese, zinc, mercury, selenium, molybdenum), but the remnants of reagent treatment (harmful for the body aluminum salts, polyacrylamide, reagents, tripolyphosphate residue, chlorine) . In addition, may attend and all kinds of waste (herbicides and pesticides). All these substances accumulate in the human health at risk. 

Therefore, everyone who cares about their health, have long switched to purified and mineral water. Experts note that the consumption of "mineral water" in Russia over the past few years has increased dramatically: according to the company GfK Rus, last year accounted for every citizen of Russia about 8 liters of bottled water. 

However, compared with Europe, Russia lags far behind: the average European drinks about 100 liters of mineral water per year. In particular, in Austria, this figure is 72 liters in France - 80 liters, in Germany - 93 liters. Italy is a peculiar record - the average Italian drinks per year, about 116 liters of mineral water. 

Mineral water is different in chemical composition. The newspaper at the Institute of Human Ecology and Environmental Hygiene of Medical Sciences, there are three main categories of water: table water (salt content is not more than 1 gram of mineral salts per liter of water), medical and dining room (mineralization - up to 10 grams per liter) and healing (mineralization - more than 10 grams per liter). 

Table water you can drink without limitation, use for cooking and beverages. Therapeutic table water is used only in raw form, it can not be boiled, the labels should contain recommendations for use. 
But the healing water to drink strictly on the advice of a doctor. "The body reacts to the water, it can not drink just because they could be negative consequences", - explained in the Institute of Human Ecology and Environmental Hygiene of RAMS. 
In a separate category can be identified distilled water (mineralization - up to 100 mg per liter). It is also not recommended to drink every day, it is used for output from the body wastes. Frequent use can lead to the fact that the body will leach and useful substances. 

Healing Minerals 
Not just any water, including mineral, brings the expected curative success. Therefore, when buying mineral water should be targeted not only its taste but also on the composition. Biologically active substances contained in certain waters, sucking from the gastrointestinal tract, have a specific effect. For example, prevents the development of iron deficiency anemia, iodine stimulates redox processes in the body, enhances thyroid function, bromine facilitates the process of inhibition of central nervous system. Calcium is involved in maintaining ionic equilibrium in the body affects blood coagulation and on the processes occurring in the neuro-muscular and cardiovascular systems, stimulates bone development and growth of teeth. Magnesium regulates the function of the nervous system, carbohydrate metabolism and energy metabolism, improves blood supply to the heart muscle. Sodium regulates blood pressure, as well as the activities of the muscular system. Potassium is responsible for the acid-alkaline balance of blood, activates the heart, the salutary influence on the kidneys. Fluoride good for teeth and bones. Chloride ions in the stomach combined with hydrogen to form hydrochloric acid. This increases the intensity of the exchange of fats and sugars, amplified choleretic and diuretic function of the liver and kidneys. Sulfate ions are accelerated by the withdrawal of food from the stomach and intestines. In addition, they facilitate the removal of harmful substances and impurities from the body. 

Strictly according to GOST 
Conscientious manufacturers indicate on the label not only the category of water, but also diseases in which this water is recommended for use. In Russia, there are guests, which specifies the salinity and ionic composition of each water, as well as its place of origin. 
For dining there is a special SanPiN water, drinking water, sanitary requirements for water quality, packed in containers. The document specified standards for the two classes of water - the first and higher. For the first class standards over the weak, limited to only the upper levels of minerals, for the highest category describes the standards of the physiological integrity, as well as specifically stipulated iodine content (200-500 mg per liter) and fluorine (20 mg per liter). Water for cooking baby food should be the highest quality category, the fluorine content should not exceed 0,6-0,7 mg per liter. Not allowed oserebrenie and aeration of water. 

Which package to give preference 
In Russia the market of water is mainly in plastic and glass bottles, as well as in large polycarbonate bottles (19.5 liters). Specialists of the Institute of Human Ecology and Environmental Hygiene of RAMS believe that a significant difference between these packages do not. The only thing - in glass bottles of carbonated water stored longer because of the plastic packaging gas goes out into the environment. Expiration of mineral water in glass - up to 1 year, but mineral water in plastic container becomes worthless in six months. 
Cool, sparkling mineral water, of course, good refreshing, but for medicinal purposes it should be heated to drink (you should get it from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before eating). Keep unopened bottles of mineral water should be in a horizontal position at a temperature of from 4 to 14 degrees. 

How to spot a fake 
Recently, a problem became fake mineral water. Most for the production of counterfeit use water from the tap, which is artificially aerated and bottled under well-known brands. 
Forgery can be identified by the label. First of all, it must be printed quality, not blurry letters and without errors. The label must necessarily be information on the terms and conditions of storage, certification and location of the manufacturer, packer, exporter, and the issue of wells, from which it was bottled water. Often sold under the brand of mineral artificial mineral water - plain water with the addition of baking soda, salt and carbon dioxide. If the water is made in accordance with the requirements of GOST, the label must be stated - "artificially mineralized. 
Major manufacturers are trying to protect themselves from fraud by using special funds. "To distinguish the original" Borjomi "is very easy - the color of bottles and labels: for Borjomi - a bright greenish-blue range of bottles, with" Spring "and" Borjomi Light "- a bluish bottle - told to the newspaper general manager of Borjomi Waters Tatyana Karimov. - Label "Borjomi" - a bright white-red-blue with the text in a specific type. The distinctive feature is located at the top of the bottle, four relief deer. The screw cap is no expiration date and the date and time of manufacture. " 

In the original production must necessarily be a company logo on the cork and glass bottles at pollitrovyh five-liter jerry cans and plastic bottles, except the logo on the cork, the name of our company must be present and on the walls of the bottle. Everywhere on the label required to indicate number of wells and mineral composition of water, the guests prefer. 

For therapeutic purposes, 
The specificity of action of drinking mineral water depends on their chemical composition. Bicarbonate water resort Borjomi, Darasun, Essentuki, Zheleznovodsk regulate secretory and motor functions of the stomach depending on the time for meals, reduce spasms of the stomach and intestines. 
Chloride water increase the secretion of gastric juice and increase its acidity. 
Sulfide water, say Batalinskaya water (Pyatigorsk), reduce gastric secretion, have a laxative and choleretic effect. 
Brackish water containing organic substances that have diuretic properties, their use with urolithiasis and urinary tract infections.

How to drink mineral water - natural mineral water?

What do a "one mineral water" and "second mineral water? Practically nothing. It is all natural mineral water, the first refers to the so-called table-water, drink all you can and your heart's content. Second - to the medical table, which can not overdo. But there are also purely medical mineral water is a kind of mineral water. And drink they need to mind, but you can easily earn some disease. 

What type of water you can drink? 

Mineral water should not drink Aby as a right. 
If you are perfectly healthy, it is better to use mineral water for 35-40 minutes before meals. If you have gastritis with reduced secretion, the mineral water to drink before the meal slowly, in small sips. The water temperature should be around 18-24 degrees Celsius. 

If you have gastritis with increased secretion of gastric juice, heartburn, regurgitation, peptic ulcer, chronic colitis with cramps and diarrhea, liver and biliary tract, the mineral water to drink after a meal and a half to two hours. It is desirable that the water was warm - 40-50 degrees Celsius. 

If a peptic ulcer of the mineral water you must first release the gas, because in this case, carbonated drinks strictly contraindicated. 
Despite its high medicinal properties, mineral water and some people do not drink. If you have a violation of the motor function of the gastrointestinal tract, preventing the passage of water, kidney and cardiovascular system that occur with edema, a disease of the urinary tract, requiring surgical treatment, then to the mineral water is better not to touch. 

HOW TO PROPERLY treatment? 

Self-treatment of mineral water can not? First, consult a specialist. If you do not, then the outcome will be the traditional Russian: they wanted to be better, but it turned out ... Simply put, instead of one disease will get two. This is due to the fact that the mineral water contains a large amount of salts. Therefore it is impossible for a long time to drink the water of the same brand. Since each of its kind has a constant composition of salts, over-saturation of the organism may occur in these substances. 

WHERE TO BUY? 

Of course, need to buy mineral water only in the major stores, better yet - in supermarkets. Therapeutic mineral water and certain types of medical table can be found in pharmacies. But owners of small food stalls and stalls for cheap buy water on the markets. It can easily slip a fake. When buying, pay attention to the date of issuance of water. If that was more than six months ago, it's probably fake. Original products are bought very quickly, and it warehouses long delayed. 

INFORMATION SHEET 

Mineral - is rainwater, which for many centuries or even millennia ago, had gone deep into the ground, seeping through the crevices and pores of different layers of rock. At the same time it absorbed various mineral substances in the rock. From just a natural water from subterranean sources and the open water mineral water are different composition. The deeper they occur, so they are warmer and richer in carbon dioxide and minerals. In addition, the deeper the water penetrates into the rock, the more it is cleared. Different layers of soil are a kind of filter. 

DID YOU KNOW? 

One resident of Russia drinks just 10 liters. mineral water per year, while Europeans annually - about 100 liters. Austria - 72 liters in France - 80 liters, Germany - 93 liters, Italy -116 liters.

Iodine in mineral water

Iodine in mineral water - is important. 

What we know about iodine? Element that is needed by all, not to hurt thyroid gland. This is to our knowledge, perhaps even beyond that. Meanwhile modest iodine was once called "elements with fabulous properties. Scientific Fersman with his definition of hit the mark: iodine - one of the most unique medicinal substances of natural origin. 

Who among us does not remember from childhood a small brown bottle with the healing solution, which is always in the hands of parents, as soon as we get hurt or make a bruise? Typically, this familiarity with iodine and ends. But not for the scientists! Since this element is associated a number of interesting research. For example, recent data of the World Health Organization (WHO), collected in different countries, showed that the level of mental development (intelligence quotient IQ) is directly related to iodine. 

Hormonal disorders arising due to iodine deficiency, outwardly appear rarely, so something Iodine deficiency and has been called "hidden hunger." Most of the disease affecting children: without iodine difficult for them to go to school, learn new skills, lead an active life . Iodine deficiency as a "building elements" for thyroid hormones is often the underlying cause of many diseases, because 65% of thyroid hormones are just out of it. 

Do you or your child has a reduced memory? You become worse perceive information at the hearing? More time needed to process information? And sometimes you're willing to admit that become worse to think? Doctors claim that our intellectual abilities suffer primarily from lack of iodine. It's because when it is not enough body harder to adapt to a changing environment. And we, as a consequence, settled weakness, drowsiness, apathy, lack of any desire. And all this time that we do not lag behind sores: a cold grab, then a sore throat, then suddenly chronic ailment of a recall. In such circumstances, even a small stress can easily knock you down. 

"Over 65% of the population of Russia live in conditions of iodine deficiency, which in some cases is a cause of congenital anomalies, increased perinatal mortality, loss of mental abilities in children and adults, deaf-mutism", - considers chief sanitary doctor Gennady Onishchenko. 

The most popular weapon in the fight against iodine deficiency - iodized salt, which are now added to a variety of products - bread, milk, sunflower oil. In Austria, Switzerland and Norway iodine is added, even cheese and sausage. But in Japan, so there is no need: the people receive it in abundance - along with numerous seafood. 

The main source of iodine is a sea kelp - sea kale. However, to collect a daily dose of iodine, to eat no less than 100-200 grams. laminaria a day, in conditions is not so simple. Do not save, and food containing iodine - iodinated milk, bread and eggs, because in most cases the amount of iodine in them is not precisely defined. Therefore, to understand how much they should eat to get a daily dose of iodine is not so simple. That is why many prefer to buy yodosoderzhaschie synthetic drugs, turning a blind eye to their serious flaws However, such drugs are undesirable for allergy sufferers, they often irritate the gastric secretion and alter the taste of food is not for the better. Besides, when it comes to vitamin and mineral tablets, then they - what they hide? - Are very expensive. 

However that is no reason to despair and recorded endocrinologist. The best way to prevent iodine deficiency was one hundred percent and is mineral water. It is available at a price. Find it in the store also not a problem. Americans and Europeans drink mineral water in large quantities for their mineral water - a mandatory component of a healthy lifestyle, which they are so proud. But even the most expensive, elite water types «Evian» or «Perrie» Russia does not replace most mineral water. While only some mineral water containing iodine in the quantities required for prevention of iodine deficiency or for the treatment of thyroid cancer. One liter of good mineral water contains 0.0002 g. iodine and is able to meet the daily needs of man. Endocrinologist claim that daily consumption of water not only prevents Iodine deficiency, but also increases the overall resistance to infections. Water will help to avoid a hike to the endocrinologist, just need to understand that the use of pure melted mineral water - it is no longer a luxury but a necessary daily needs of each of us.

The classification of natural mineral waters

5. The classification of natural mineral waters and therapeutic muds 
5.1. Mineral water 
Mineral waters are natural underground water and are formed in the earth's crust with certain geological - structural, geothermal, hydro-geological and geochemical conditions that determine the patterns of their spatial localization, gas, ion - salt and trace element composition, temperature and other indicators. Classification and mineral waters based on the definition of a combination of several indicators, and the most important characters, allowing for a total system of underground hydrosphere and the main types of mineral waters for their intended purpose and hydrogeochemical characteristics. 
5.1.1. Mineral water is a natural remedy and its purpose are divided into two types: 
- Drinking; 
- Balneal (for outdoor use). 
Another taxonomic unit is the group of mineral waters, in determining which key features are: 
for drinking water - the total mineralization, ionic composition and (or) the presence of biologically active components; 
for balneology water - gas composition, total salt content, ionic composition, the biologically active components, physical factors (temperature, radioactivity). 
5.1.2. The main groups of mineral water as follows: 
1. Mineral water, the action is determined by the ionic composition and mineralization. 
2. Carbonic water. 
3. Sulphureous water. 
4. Ferruginous water. 
5. Bromine, iodine and iodine-bromine water. 
6. Siliceous thermal waters. 
7. Arsenic water. 
8. Radon (radioactive) water. 
9. Boron-bearing water. 
10. Water enriched with organic matter. 
5.2. Drinking mineral underground waters are divided into treatment - dining, spa and dining. 
5.2.1. Medical - table mineral underground water (total mineralization - M from 1,0 to 10,0 g / cu. Dm) integrate an extensive set of groundwater from low-mineralized (M 1,0 - 5,0 g / cu. Dm) HCO3-Na and HCO3-Na-Ca classes to srednemineralizovannyh (M 5,0 - 10,0 g / cu. dm) Cl-HCO3-Na and Cl-Na classes. Medical - table mineral water during their exchange application are expressed therapeutic effect. Medical - mineral water of low salinity can be used for incidental use as table drinks (eg, natural carbonated water). 
5.2.3. Table waters are predominantly hydro class. In the composition of cations may be present as calcium, magnesium, sodium and in various combinations depending on the location of water intake in the hydro-geological zoning of groundwater. Canteens mineral underground water used for industrial filling in kind, without any special reagent water to preserve the natural ion - salt composition and used as a table beverage. 
5.3. Water balneal (for external use) characterized by the presence of biologically active gases (CO2, H2S, Rn), the specific micro-components (Br, J, H2SiO3, H2BO3, and others), the level of total mineralization and physical properties (temperature, radioactivity, reaction medium). Features of the ion composition of these waters do not have such significance, both for drinking, the more so that the water spa destination with a salinity of more than 15 - 20 g / cu. dm, as a rule, are predominantly of sodium chloride. 
From the combination of the above-mentioned indicators identified seven main groups of mineral water balneotherapy used for external use only 1) carbon dioxide, 2) hydrogen sulfide, and 3) radon; 4) siliceous thermal, 5), bromine, iodine and iodine-bromine, 6), arsenic, 7) the acidic water with a high content of metals (Fe, Al, Cu, etc.); 8) mineral water, curative effect of which is determined predominantly by the size of mineralization. 

5.4. Curative mud (peloids) 
Therapeutic mud is used mainly for external use, are common medical conditions and are used in a variety of treatments, united in a common form of therapy, referred to as mud therapy. 
The main classifications are divided into groups of curative muds and have a considerable influence on the method of mud (the thickness and area of overlay applications, the temperature of heating mud, the duration of the procedure) is their genesis. 
Genetically peloids are divided into four groups: 
1. Peat. 
2. Sapropel. 
3. Sulphide - ile. 
4. Sopochnyj. 
The first two groups belong to the so-called organic peloids, the rest - to the mineral.. 
Prescribed medical treatment (internal) use of mineral waters 
Diseases of the digestive system: 
1. Reflux - esophagitis. 
2. Chronic gastritis. 
2.1. With normal secretory function of the stomach. 
2.2. With increased secretory function of the stomach. 
2.3. With a reduced secretory function of the stomach. 
3. Stomach ulcer and 12 duodenal ulcer. 
4. Diseases of the intestine. 
4.1. Irritable Bowel Syndrome with diarrhea. 
4.2. Irritable Bowel Syndrome with constipation. 
5. Liver disease: chronic viral hepatitis, toxic and pharmacological liver, fatty degeneration of the liver. 
6. Diseases of the gall bladder, biliary tract, pancreas: chronic cholecystitis, cholangitis, cholesterosis gallbladder, cholelithiasis, chronic pancreatitis. 
7. Violations of the digestive organs after surgical interventions: syndromes of the operated stomach after surgery for peptic ulcer, postcholecystectomical syndromes. 
Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic disorders. 
8.1. Diabetes mellitus (insulin and insulin-dependent), impaired glucose tolerance. 
8.2. Obesity (nutritional). 
8.3. Violation exchange lipoproteins. 
8.4. Violation of salt metabolism. 
9. Diseases of the genitourinary system: tubulointerstitial disease (chronic pyelonephritis), urolithiasis, other diseases (chronic cystitis, urethritis, Trigoni). 
10. Diseases of the blood: iron deficiency anemia. 
7.2. Water balneal (for external use) 

Carbon dioxide water. The mechanism of action of carbonated waters of different chemical composition of primary importance is the content and the concentration of carbon dioxide. Since the purpose of treatment with external application using the concentration of carbon dioxide 0,75 - 2,0 g / cu. dm. 
Carbonic water are shown for external use in cardiovascular diseases - cardiovascular, nervous system, respiratory, digestive system. They are most effective in the treatment of cardio - vascular diseases, including during the initial stages of heart failure and cardiac arrhythmia. If carbonate waters have high salinity (20 - 40 g / cu. Dm), then when their appointment must take into account the effect of salt (like sodium chloride waters). 
Sulphureous water. To use hydrogen sulfide balneotherapy water SUM H2S concentration from 10 to 250 mg / cu. dm. In diseases of cardio - vascular diseases (ischemic heart disease, hypertension, heart diseases) are more commonly used low concentrations (25 - 100 mg / cu. Dm), whereas in peripheral vascular diseases, nervous system, - the motor system, gynecological, skin used higher concentrations (up to 250 mg / cu. dm). 
Indications for external use: diseases of the circulatory system, nervous system, - the motor system, gynecological, skin and metabolic diseases. 
Chloride-sodium water. With the purpose of treatment topically applied water in this class at concentrations of 10 - 60 g / cu. dm. Proved that the sodium chloride water 40 - 60 g / cu. dm have a more pronounced anti-inflammatory, analgesic, immunokorrigiruyuschee action. Vody concentration of 20 g / cu. dm more often used for treatment of cardio - vascular disease. 
Indications for external use: cardiovascular diseases - cardiovascular, nervous system, musculoskeletal - the motor system, gynecological, urological. 
In recent years, new data were obtained, extending the indications for the use of sodium chloride waters that have proved their effectiveness in diabetes with micro-and macroangiopathy, chronic nonspecific lung diseases (chronic bronchitis), skin diseases. 
Iodine-bromine water. Depending on the predominance of sodium chloride in water, iodine or bromine water can be bromine, bromiodnymi, bromine or iodine. Exposure to the expense obshey mineralization of these waters and of biologically active ions of iodine and bromine. It is with the effect of iodine and bromine with effective use of bromine water in arteriosclerosis, thyrotoxicosis, ovarian dysfunction, more pronounced their sedative, normalizing the basic processes of neural action, although a definite answer to some questions there (hyperthyroidism). 
Indications for external application: cardiovascular diseases - cardiovascular, central and peripheral nervous system, - the motor system, gynecological, skin diseases, metabolic diseases and endocrine glands. 
Radon water. Radon waters are widely distributed in nature, and has many years experience of their use at resorts and in vnekurortnyh conditions. 
Since the purpose of treatment used water radon concentration of radon from 5 to 200 nCi / L, with low concentrations of radon in water (5 - 15 nCi / l) to apply special methods of treatment (running water in the tub, a pool of water with radon). A comparison of the radon water of different concentrations (from 40 to 200 nCi / l) found that with increasing concentration there is an increase anti-inflammatory, analgesic, immunokorrigiruyuschego action; along with this there is an emergence and adverse reactions of a number of body systems (autonomic nervous system, sympathetic - adrenal etc.). Therefore increasingly used water radon concentration of 20 - 40 - 80 nCi / L, at least - 120 nCi / l and very rarely 200 - nCi / l and more. 
Indications for external use: the cardio - vascular and nervous systems, musculoskeletal - the motor system, gynecological, urological, skin. 

Radon waters are particularly effective in diseases of the support and movement, the peripheral nervous system, skin, gynecological, because of their pronounced immunokorrigiruyuschego, anti-inflammatory, normalizing the function of the endocrine glands. 
Siliceous thermal waters usually Low-mineralized, alkaline contain silicic acid 50 mg / cu. dm and more. The characteristic feature of these waters is the presence of gases, mainly nitrogen. In small quantities contained radon. 
Indications for external application: the cardio - vascular system, musculoskeletal - the motor system, peripheral nervous system, gynecological, skin, certain endocrine (thyrotoxicosis). 
Arsenic water is very different in its chemical and gas composition. Therefore, arsenic in natural waters on the body can not be considered in isolation, and the role it was arsenic (in studies with artificially prepared arsenious waters) in their mechanism of action poorly understood. 


There is experience with arsenic water with coronary artery disease, functional disorders of the nervous system, thyrotoxicosis, and some others. 
Indications for external application of medicinal mineral waters 
1. Diseases of the circulatory system: rheumatic heart diseases, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, essential hypotension, cardiomyopathy, disease of the peripheral arteries and veins. 
2. Diseases of the nervous system. 
2.1. Inflammatory diseases of central nervous system. 
2.2. Cerebrovascular disease. 
2.3. Functional diseases of the nervous system. 
2.4. The defeat of individual nerves, nerve roots and plexus, polyneuropathy, diseases of nervous - muscular synapse and muscle effects of trauma roots, plexuses, nerve roots, spinal cord and brain disorders of the autonomic nervous system. 
3. Musculo - muscular system: arthropathy (infectious, inflammatory osteoarthritis), systemic lesions of connective tissue; dorsopatii and spondylopathiae; disease of soft tissues; osteopathy and chondropathy. 
4. Respiratory diseases: chronic obstructive and nonobstructive bronchitis. 
5. Digestive diseases: diseases of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum (reflux - esophagitis, chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum); bowel disease, liver disease, gallbladder disease, biliary tract and pancreas; violations after surgical interventions. 
6. Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic disorders. 
6.1. Diseases of the thyroid gland. 
6.2. Diabetes. 
6.3. Obesity (nutritional). 
7. Diseases of the genitourinary system. 
7.1. Tubulointerstitial disease (chronic pyelonephritis, pyelitis, etc.), other diseases of urinary system (cystitis, urethritis, goni, etc.). 
7.2. Urolithiasis. 
7.3. Diseases of male genital organs (chronic prostatitis, orchitis, epididymitis, etc.). 
7.4. Inflammatory and noninflammatory diseases of female genital mutilation. 
8. Diseases of the skin: dermis and eczema, papuloskvamoznye violations, urticaria, diseases of the skin appendages, scars, keratosis, etc. 
7.3. Peloidoterapiya 

There are four main groups of mud treatments: peat, sludge - sulphide, sapropel, Sopochnyj, which differ significantly in physical properties, chemical and microbiological composition. 
These differences in practice, mainly affected the technique of mud and methods of its application for therapeutic purposes (temperature, amount of exposure, duration of the course, etc.). 
In general, the indications for peloidoterapii using different groups of mud common: diseases of the nervous system, musculoskeletal - the motor system, respiratory system, digestive system, urology, gynecology, dermatology, otolaryngology. 
In recent years conducted research allowed to expand indications for use peloidoterapii, in particular, cardio - vascular diseases (coronary heart disease, hypertension), which is especially important for the treatment of combined cardio - vascular and neurological, cardio - vascular and rheumatological abnormalities. 

Indications for external application of medicinal muds 
1. Diseases of the circulatory system: hypertension, ischemic heart disease (mainly in the treatment of concomitant disease of the nervous, skeletal - muscular system) disease of the peripheral arteries and veins. 
2. Diseases of the nervous system: 
2.1. Inflammatory diseases of central nervous system. 
2.2. The defeat of individual nerves, nerve roots and plexus, polyneuropathy, diseases of nervous - muscular synapse and muscle effects of trauma roots, plexuses, nerve roots, spinal cord and brain; 
effects of surgical removal of benign tumors of the nervous system, polio, cerebral palsy, disorders of the autonomic nervous system. 
3. Musculo - muscular system: arthropathy (infectious, inflammatory, osteoarthritis), systemic lesions of connective tissue; dorsopatii and spondylopathiae; disease of soft tissues; osteopathy and chondropathy. 
4. Respiratory diseases: 
4.1. Diseases of the upper respiratory tract: chronic rhinitis, sinusitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, laryngitis, etc. 
4.2. Diseases of the lower respiratory tract: residual effects following acute pneumonia, chronic bronchitis, the effects of the performed surgery on the lungs. 
5. Diseases of the digestive system. 
5.1. Diseases of the oral cavity. 
5.2. Diseases of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum (reflux - esophagitis, chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum); bowel disease, liver disease, gallbladder disease, biliary tract and pancreas, the effect of surgical interventions and inflammatory processes in the abdominal cavity. 
6. Diseases of the genitourinary system: 
6.1. Tubulointerstitial disease (chronic pyelonephritis, pyelitis, etc.), other diseases of urinary system (cystitis, urethritis, goni, etc.).
