ABSTRACT. The first and second parts of the review present information about silicon-containing mineral waters in the southern regions of the Russian Federation. The results of therapeutic and prophylactic use in clinical and sanatorium-resort conditions of mineral waters of the Essentuki group - "Essentuki No. 2 Novaya", "Essentuki No. 4 and No. 17", mineral waters of the Caucasian Mineral Waters region, such as "Smirnovskaya", "Slavyanovskaya", "Narzan", "Sulfate Narzan", mineral water "Teberda", produced in the Karachay-Cherkess Republic, mineral waters from a thermal spring in the village of Yaroslavskaya and the resort "Khadyzhensk" in the Krasnodar Territory. Their healing effects have been noted in many diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, gallbladder and biliary tract, kidneys and urinary tract, gynecological diseases, metabolic disorders and hormonal imbalances, pathological conditions of the respiratory system of a non-tuberculous nature. The present, third part of the review concerns siliceous mineral waters of the Far Eastern territories of the Russian Federation - the Khabarovsk and Kamchatka Territories, the Jewish Autonomous Region, the Republic of Buryatia. Information is given from scientific publications on the results of medical and balneological use of mineral waters of the Annensky, Tumninsky, Kuldursky, Arshansky, Pushchinsky, Ketkinsky, deposits, thermal water "Zhemchug", waters of thermal springs of the Barguzin valley, as well as sources of Goryachinsky, Nilova Pustyn, Pitatelevsky and Shumak mineral water springs, which contain biologically active silicic acid in high concentrations. According to published data, these mineral waters are used externally with good effect in the form of baths, swimming in pools, inhalations, and inside for drinking with a wide range of pathologies of the cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal tract, liver and kidneys, skin diseases, unequal, bone-muscular, endocrine systems, respiratory organs, metabolic disorders, diseases of the female genital area. The results of the analyzed works contribute to the identification of the role of silicon in the biological effect of silicon-containing mineral waters of complex composition and draw attention to this microelement as a valuable natural healing factor.

KEYWORDS: mineral waters containing the microelement silicon, use in the treatment and prevention of human diseases.
