Contents of renal diseases diagnoses are as following: glomerulonephritis 52%,
phylonephritis 35%, hydronephrosis 3%, obstructive renal disease 2%, chronic
renal failure 7% and debatic nephropathy 1%. Sand sauna therapy is lain into
heated sand baths for adults 8 to 20 mins and for child 7 to 15 mins long, and
it is performed twice a day (morning and afternoon) for 2 or 3 weeks once a
year. Particularly, the sanatorium offers a type of physiotherapy through the
application of thermally warmed sand and a combination of healthy
micro-bioclimate, purity of the natural environment, and the presence of fresh
and healthy local foods to treat a wide range of medical conditions. The sand
sauna treatment most likely affects the body by means of the sand’s high
temperature and the presence of chemical elements those are biologically
important. Its specific climate and geographical condition of sanatorium is
unique by length of sunshine, wind and content, color of sand.
