ABSTRACT. The first part of the review is devoted to the Essentuki group of
mineral waters in the Stavropol Territory. The second part of the review
continues the consideration of the use in the treatment and prevention of
diseases of silicon-containing mineral waters of the Stavropol Territory,
including those produced in the Caucasus Mineral Waters (KMV) region near the
resort cities of Zheleznovodsk, Kislovodsk, Essentuki, Pyatigorsk and at the
Teberda resort in Karachay-Cherkessskaya Republic (KChR). Attention is also
paid to the healing effect of the mineral waters of the Krasnodar Territory,
including thermal ones, which include the microelement silicon. The results of
the practical application of the mineral waters "Smirnovskaya",
"Slavyanovskaya", "Nagutskaya-4",
"Nagutskaya-26", "Novoterskaya healing",
"Narzan", "Sulfate Narzan" of the KMV, "Teberda"
of the KChR and sources "Khadyzhensky"
are presented. and the village of Yaroslavskaya of the Krasnodar Territory in
clinical and sanatorium-resort conditions. From the data published in the
scientific press, it follows that the listed mineral waters, when drunk and in
combination with various balneological procedures, have a wide range of
positive therapeutic effects on the human body. They can be successfully used
for the treatment and prevention of many chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal
tract (gastritis, gastroduodenitis, erosive and ulcerative lesions of the
esophagus, stomach and duodenum, enterocolitis, irritable bowel syndrome),
chronic pathologies of the liver, gallbladder and biliary tract, pancreas,
cardiovascular, nervous and endocrine systems, metabolic disorders, diseases of
the kidneys and urinary tract, gynecological diseases and diseases of the respiratory
system of a non-tuberculous nature in adults and children. Many details of the
beneficial effect of silicon-containing mineral waters on the human body are
associated with the normalization of hormonal status indicators - cortisol,
insulin, triiodothyronine, cholecystokin. A number of works emphasize the
direct role of silicon in the healing effect of mineral waters, which include
metasilicic acid. It is planned to continue the analysis of the results of the
use of silicon-containing mineral waters in medical practice in the third part
of the review.
