Features of the operation and use of radon mineral water in the Tskaltubo resort:
One of the special features of Tskaltubo mineral springs is that Tskaltubo springs do not contain strong, toxic substances, which makes the waters of mineral springs easily tolerated by patients, so they can be used for treatment at various stages and phases of the disease and for people of all ages, even when the use of other mineral baths is prohibited.
Due to the large flow of the springs, Tskaltubo uses a unique bath drainage technique, thanks to which there is a constant supply and flow of bath water, i.e. fresh water is constantly entering the baths and the water in them is made homogeneous from the beginning to the end of the procedure. This bathing technique is not found in any balneological resort, therefore it is called the unique technique of Tskaltubo.
