Muscle strain can make life a living hell, often with a sore back and neck. This can be significantly alleviated by the procedures included in the Värska sanatorium’s weekly spa treatment package, the effects of which will last for six months.

Staying in a forced position for long periods of time does not allow the muscles to relax. A painful hip joint or knee forces you to change your posture. This causes additional muscle tension and pain. You don’t have to suffer pain, you can prevent it. Salt mineral water has an anti-inflammatory effect, its pleasant warmth relaxes muscles and improves circulation. All Värska sanatorium spa packages include mineral baths, the most special of which is the pearl bath.

By the time you sit down in the bath, the water temperature is set to a pleasantly silky 37-39 degrees. You will be completely covered with Värska-6 natural mineral water, which is similar in salinity to ocean water and ten times stronger than Värska table water.

It flows directly from the earth’s surface, more than half a kilometre below the surface, between 600 million-year-old rocks. A true force of nature. A substance with scientifically proven therapeutic effect. And then there are the “pearls!” A micro-massage of fine air bubbles that tones, improves blood circulation, benefits the nervous system. The natural mineral water around you, Värska-6, contains a number of trace elements: copper, zinc, strontium, manganese, bromine, lithium, and anti-cancer selenium.

Take a deep breath. When you enter the room, you will notice a particular smell, with a faint scent of sulphur water mixed with salt vapours. It has a very good effect on your airways. While you’re in the bath, inhaling bromine inhaled with water vapour will also have a calming effect. Asthma symptoms, back pain, psoriasis, muscle tension and a whole range of stress-inducing ailments will be relieved. You’d probably like it to last even longer, but there are still a number of procedures ahead that have the same feel-good effect. And completely natural, straight from the earth.
