Sulfide (hydrogen sulfide) mineral water - is the natural water of different salinity and ionic composition containing more than 10 mg / l total hydrogen sulfide. Depending on the concentration of hydrogen sulfide distinguish as low concentrated water (10 - 50 mg / L), medium concentration (50 - 100 mg / l), solid (100 - 250 mg / l) and very strong (over 250 mg / l).

Adult body contains 4-5 g of iron, which is part of the most important respiratory pigment hemoglobin (55-70% of the total) produced by the bone marrow and it is responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the tissues, the protein myoglobin (10-25%), which is required for storing oxygen in muscle tissue as well as part of various respiratory enzymes (about 1% of total). In addition, 20-25% of iron stored in the body as a reserve concentrated in the liver and spleen as ferritin - an iron-protein complex, which serves the "raw materials" for all of the above diverse iron compounds. The blood plasma contains less than 0.1% of total iron content.

Hydrogen sulfide activates metabolic processes, increases energy source of cells and tissues, enhances the regenerative processes, improves blood flow to organs and tissues, increases oxygen consumption, normalizes blood pressure and metabolic processes.

Hydrogen sulfide baths have a sedative effect and stabilize vegetal system of patients with neurasthenia, they promote decreasing of anxiety, better sleep and mood.

The effect of the impact of the water on the skin called "Matsestinsk reaction" and it is expressed in a significant reddening of the skin with a feeling of warmth and light burning.

After the hydrogen sulfide baths everybody always feels sleepy. This has a medical explanation - when using hydrogen sulfide baths inhibitory processes in the central nervous system begin to dominate over the processes of excitation. In addition, the active ingredients of this water normalize the nervous system, which is accompanied by good feelings, decreased anxiety, and better sleep. We think that telling it is necessary for each citizen today we won’t do mistake.

Indications of hydrogen sulfide water use:

• Diseases of the cardiovascular system

The effect of sulfide waters extend both large and tiny blood vessels is used for treatment of patients with hypertension I and II-A stage, obliterating endarteritis, atherosclerosis of the heart, brain, and peripheral vascular disease of the limbs. Matsestinsk balneotherapy used in myocardial dystrophy, heart defects, sclerotic changes in the heart muscle.

Contraindications are for diseases with circulatory failure Stage II., with unfavorable cardiac rhythm and conduction.

• Diseases of the musculoskeletal system

This procedure could be prescribed for the treatment of various origins polyarthritis with chronic or subacute, post-traumatic arthritis, chronic spondylitis, osteochondrosis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Recently, indications expanded including patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis with low activity of the inflammatory process without visceral.

Among the contraindications we can name the cases of rheumatoid arthritis with high activity of inflammation, arthritis, tuberculous etiology and chronic osteomyelitis in the presence of copious secretions and large seizures, as well as irreversible changes in the joints and spine, preventing self-care and mobility.

• Diseases of the central nervous system

The consequences of traumatic injuries of the spinal cord and its membranes, the residual effects of brain injury, encephalopathy on the basis of various intoxications, meningoencephalitis is the acute stage.

Recently indications were expanded for the treatment of cerebral arteriosclerosis with no inclination to the cerebral circulation and frequent vascular crises, rheumatic, brucellosis and encephalitis and meningoencephalitis as side effect after flu.

• Diseases of the peripheral nervous system

Neuralgia, neuritis, polyradiculitis, plexitis traumatic and infectious origin, vertebral diseases of the peripheral nervous system, as well as other diseases of the peripheral nervous system is worsening.

• Skin diseases

The best results were achieved in the treatment of patients with chronic eczema in all its forms, as well as professional and seborrheic dermatitis. In psoriasis, it is necessary to take into account the seasonality of the disease: "summer" form should be treated in the winter, and "winter" - in the summer. Indicated for the treatment all itching dermatitis (atopic dermatitis, pruritus, chronic urticaria, pruritus, and others.), Congenital dermatoses with hyperkeratosis (ichthyosis, keratoderma), scleroderma.

• Gynecological Diseases

Chronic nonspecific diseases of female genitalia in remission, infertility tubal origin, especially (sulfide water shows an unchanged ovarian function, in the presence of hypoestrogenism). Menstrual dysfunction (Due to a change in the ovaries and uterus after suffering inflammation).

• Urologic Diseases

Chronic prostatitis is in remission. Chronic vesicles (non-tuberculous), in remission in the presence of limited inflammatory infiltrate.

• Diseases of the endocrine system

Sulfide water enhance the functional activity of the thyroid gland. Under the action of hydrogen sulphide increases basal metabolism.

Sulfide balneotherapy (hydrogen sulfide) water is good for thyroid diseases with reduced function, impaired fat metabolism, diabetes.

With increased thyroid function (hyperthyroidism) treatment with strong sulfide waters (such Macesta) is contraindicated.
