Doctors try not to resort to medicaments. If the guest of the sanatorium takes hormonal medicines, then their amount gradually decreases.
A distinctive feature of the Nakhichevan Center for Physiotherapy "Duzdag" from such sanatoriums is that here the mines are in a horizontal plane. They certainly adapt before accepting new guests of the sanatorium. In the mines allergens and microbial creatures are almost completely absent. Natural ventilation functions here as well.
The experience of several decades shows that adult patients with bronchial asthma of different degrees of severity are cured by 80-86%. For children, the result is 96-98%. The procedure is performed only at times when there are no attacks of suffocation. It is possible to treat during the period of remission. The effectiveness of treatment with speleotherapy in children is manifested on days 4-5. For adults, the effect is slightly different.
Relief of the disease occurs in different ways depending on the initial state of the patient. Some feel improvements already in the second week, some immediately after the end of the course, and others a month after the end of course. Usually this is expressed in decreasing the frequency of coughing attacks and reducing their strength. Children completely overcome asthma attacks after a week.
At the end of the course in the patient's blood, the increased number of leucocytes-eosinophils decreases. The number of eosinophils in sputum also decreases. The rate of erythrocyte sedimentation is normal. Bronchial ways get visibly cleaned, a minute respiratory act of the lungs often comes back to normal. Patients begin to breathe freely. Their pulse comes back to normal or tachycardia attacks become noticeably less frequent. If the systolic and diastolic pressure have been high, then it can get normalized.
Today we will present you information about the therapeutic and touristic center "Duzdag", which is located in the ancient and historical region - Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic in Azerbaijan. The salt caves of Duzdag are situated at an altitude of 1173 meters above sea level. Here patients with respiratory diseases are successfully treated.
The rivers covered with salt are miracles, the secrets of which are not yet revealed in the world.
One of the symbols of the beautiful historical land of Nakhichevan of Azerbaijan is Duzdag, which has 90 million tons of natural resources.
This mountain of Azerbaijan is known not only for clear and pure salt, but also for medicinal properties. According to the information, 6000 years ago - since the time of Nukh-Nabi, salt was mined here. Prior to the glorified "Silk Way" from the territory of Nakhichevan to the Middle East, a "road of salt" was stretching. Salt was exported from here to other countries.
The salt of Nakhichevan differs from sea salt. The real Nakhichevan salt is ecologically pure, it does not contain heavy minerals and serves as a cure for many diseases. Magnesia in the composition of Nakhichevan salt creates a condition for use by patients with cardiovascular diseases.
The exploitation of the Duzdag field began before the 3rd millennium BC. In this region, mines of ancient times are still preserved, where the salt was extracted manually and was transported by horse.
In the industry, the extraction of Duzdag salt began in 1927. Now the territory has salt reserves of about 90 million tons, the annual salt production here is 6-8 thousand tons.
From the deposits, salt is extracted by drilling. First, an underground tunnel is unearthed, then it is exploded with dynamite. Pieces of salt, formed by the explosion and immersed in small cars, are exported to the surface of the earth. Here they are sorted and processed.
We should note that the length of the tunnel used is 1500 meters. Treated salt is sold in a crystal and ground form. In shops, 66 grams of iodine are added to one ton of ground salt. This is to prevent thyroid disease.
Walking along the slopes of Duzdag, the magical natural beauty of the mountains fascinates. Going down the hilly roads, you think what else awaits us?
Transfusion under the rays of the sun in the color of the earth, salt crystals dazzle the eyes and even more excites us. Patterns on the ground, which are formed from a change in color under the rays of sun, remind a large carpet by their attractiveness. With its gray, brown, red, sandy and clay clothing, the belly of the earth retains a thousand secrets and treasures. Stepping on crunchy sand, the earth cracked by salt, reminds me of winter days, the crunch of snow under my feet. This mountain, which has a thousand-year history, is similar to a pyramid and a mound, it will illuminate us with many of its invisible, inaudible miracles with its radiance. Writing will add salt to our "dish". Dozens of stones will tell us about the monuments of the ancient culture of this mountain.
"This is the amazing miracle of the world." In the harsh winter days we saw many rivers covered with ice. But never heard of the rivers covered with salt. We do not think that you have ever heard about it. Come to Nakhichevan and see with your own eyes, a man admires these rivers and waterfalls, covered with salt. You can even taste pieces of salt that look like ice. A person does not want to be separated from the amazing beauty of these places, the miracles of which no one has ever heard or seen.
I would like to note that in this area there are about 10 rivers covered with salt. And they all originate from Duzdag Mountain.
In Nakhichevan, there are treatments for bronchial asthma.
The historical land and cradle of the Azerbaijani civilization Nakhichevan is famous for medicinal and mineral waters of Badamli, Sirab, Vaihyr. In the next article, we will highlight this topic and provide detailed information.
