THERAPEUTIC AND PREVENTIVE USE
OF MINERAL WATERS CONTAINING SILICON
IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION (Literature review)
Part 4. FAR EASTERN AND SIBERIAN FEDERAL DISTRICT

ABSTRACT.

For many years, siliceous mineral waters have been studied in scientific institutions of the country as sources of health, and their therapeutic and prophylactic properties have been tested in various nosological forms in order to facilitate the choice and prescription by a doctor of exactly the mineral water that is most effective in treating his disease. Studies of the balneological properties of mineral waters containing the microelement silicon as a biologically active component, the assessment of their sanatorium and resort potential, are important due to the lack of data proving the participation and characterizing the role of silicon in the mechanisms of action of siliceous mineral waters of complex composition. This, the 4th part of the review, is devoted to the consideration of data on the results of medical use and the features of the effect on the body of silicon-containing mineral waters from deposits located in the Far East (Primorsky Territory, Zabaikalye Territory, Magadan and Amur Regions) and Siberian (Republics of Tyva and Khakassia, Kemerovo Region) federal districts. In a number of studies in resort and clinical conditions, a positive effect of these waters on the human body was revealed in the treatment of diseases of the digestive, cardiovascular, nervous, bone-cartilaginous and urinary systems, in the prevention of renal pathology and nephropathy, in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchial asthma. According to the analyzed data, siliceous mineral waters from a number of sources of the Far East and Siberia have an anti-inflammatory effect, improve cellular nutrition processes, facilitate the removal of waste substances from the body, have an immunomodulatory effect at the local level and enhance reparative-regenerative processes. It can be noted that with numerous and various favorable changes in the body of patients, neither internal (drinking) nor external (water procedures, inhalations, irrigation) use of silicon-containing mineral waters led to the development of any undesirable side effects. Obviously, the diversity and uniqueness of the composition of mineral waters in general and silicon-containing waters in particular determine the almost unlimited possibilities of their medical use.

KEYWORDS: silicon-containing mineral waters, positive effects of medical use.
