When you relax at the Novaya Istra resort, mineral water is not just a beautiful part of the landscape. This is one of the key therapeutic components. And it is important to understand where it comes from, what benefits it is, and how it is taken so that the rest really benefits.
Where does the water and brine come from?
The resort has two main sources:
One source is about 400 meters deep, and low—salinity water is extracted from it. This water is mild, has a delicate effect on the stomach, intestines, joints and metabolism.
The second one is deeper, about 1000 meters, and produces a saturated brine. It is mainly used for external procedures: baths, applications and wraps.
That is, the water at the resort “works on two fronts": inside (drinking) and outside (baths and treatments).
Why is the composition important?
Drinking water of medium mineralization helps to improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, support metabolism, promote the elimination of toxins and improve liver and kidney function. It is softer and more gentle.
Brine, saturated with minerals, has a stronger effect on the skin, muscles and joints: it helps to relieve inflammation, improve blood circulation, reduce soreness and tension after exertion or in case of chronic problems.
How is everything going?
First, production is carried out: wells are equipped with pumps and protective pipes, water is filtered, and large foreign particles are removed. Next, laboratory control: composition, purity, and compliance with standards are checked.
When everything is ready, water / brine is used in various procedures: baths, applications, compresses, drinking. Each procedure is prescribed under the supervision of a doctor to ensure a balance between effectiveness and safety.
Who will benefit, and what should I be careful of?
The effect of such procedures is especially noticeable in those who suffer from chronic gastrointestinal discomfort, metabolic disorders, skin or joint problems. This is a great way to gently strengthen the body, relax and recover.
But there are situations when procedures may not be the best solution: acute inflammation, serious heart or kidney diseases, high fever, pregnancy (especially in the first months and a couple of months before childbirth) and any chronic disease in the acute stage. In such cases, it is mandatory to consult a doctor before starting the procedure.
Practical tips for the guest:
- When you arrive, tell your doctor about all your illnesses and the medications you are taking.
- Start with simple procedures — soft baths, less mineralization, less time for the body to “get used”.
- Follow the drinking regime: water + herbal teas + rest after the procedures.
- Listen to how you feel: if you experience discomfort, heaviness, or fatigue, inform the medical staff and possibly adjust the program.
- If possible, after relaxing at home, continue light “water rituals”, walks, moderate exercise — this helps to consolidate the effect.
The result:
Shakhteral water and brine in Novaya Istra are not just a “resort service”, but a natural resource integrated into the treatment system. If you use it wisely, rest becomes not just relaxation, but an opportunity to restore your health, balance your inner state and feel better.
