HISTORY

Welcome at one of the most prestigious spa resorts in Ukraine - "Khmelnik", Vinnica re-gion. 8 sanatoriums for 5 thousand of pations have grown among landscapes of Podolie for rather short time. Over 70 thousand of people are treated at the spa resort every year. Spa resort "Khmelnik"is called a pearl of solar Ukraine and the treasury of health now. The birth of "Khmelnik" as balneological resort was connected with the discovery of de-posit of mineral water near the town. In 1934 hydrogeological expedition was invited from Kiev to find drinking water in the center of Khmelnik.But water extracted from the depth of 65 m was lain, rigid and salt. The source has attracted attention of scientifics from Ukrainian research institute and the Institute of geology of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. After careful investigations of water the emanations of radium - radonium, were discovered along with free carbonic acid, nitrogen, calcium,natrium, potassium,magnesium, manganese, iron, hydrocarbonati-ums, chlorine, sulfates, iodium, brom, cobalt, saline and albumoid ammonium tar sub-stances and other minerals and microelements.By its mineral and gas components the water in Khmelnik was classified as radonium, carbonate, hydrocarbonate-chlorid-calcium-sodium mineral water with the high contents of manganese that indoubtedly had balneological value. In 1936 the scientists of the Ukrainian research institute of spa sci-ence and physiotherapy developed first indications for treatment with radonium water and then first small sanatorium with hydropathy was open .In 1961 it started working sanatorium as "Khmelnik" for 950 pations.

Therefore here it will be expedient to tell in brief what radonium is and how it influences human organism .

Radonium -it is a product of radioactive decomposition of radium, quickly working isotope (T ?=3.8 days) belongs to the group of inert gases. The main active factor of ra-donium - alfa-radiation which has some therapeutical properties for treatment ofperipheral neural system diseases, diseases of musculosceletal system, gynecological, vascular sys-tem, scin deseases and postburning complications.. During reception of radonium baths the unstable products of decomposition of radonium form an active deposite on skin, whose concentration increases because of easy movements of the patient in the bath or the pool. It is densely fixed on the skin and holds there for 2-3 hours. When the patient, takes the bath, he is irradiated with radonium, which penetrates the skin and lungs into the blood . Radonium baths and treatment in pools are prescribed depending on the disease and general health condition of the patient. Patients take them in specially equipped bath-rooms where there are the optimum sanitary - hygienic conditions ensuring necessary temperature, humidity and sufficient air exchange.

The scientific researches which had been carried out at the resort for many years, and the aquired experience have enabled to develop and ground certain methods of treatment with radonium baths, which are prescribed as general bath, sitting bathes and local (2- and 4-chamber), vertical, pearl baths, and also in a pool with underwater verterbral vertical trac-tion.

So radonium bathes bring on therapeutic effect. last years they enter in a complex of recov-ering treatment for the patients with traumas of musculosceletal system, actively influence function of adrenal, stimulate secretion of special hormones, that conducts to reiuforce-ment of immune forces of organism.
