How to choose?
The selection of a sanatorium is different from the selection of simple establishments for recreation. And it's not just a decent medical base. A normal diet is very important. As in other hotel establishments, it is worth paying attention to the pools and beaches, to the isolated park areas. These "nuances" affect the overall comfort of the rest.
Some sanatoriums offer visits without treatment. When traveling for therapeutic purposes, the specialization of specific institutions must be taken into account.
As far as mud therapy is concerned, its capabilities cannot be exaggerated - this is a powerful procedure, which, moreover, has a number of limitations.
