In our effort to live up to the slogan “SOKOBANJA, SOKO GRAD, YOU COME OLD, YOU LEAVE YOUNG,” we offer sources of health through a stay in the pool and jacuzzi of the Nataly Spa facility to all our guests and those who wish to experience rejuvenation.

Guided by the historical tradition of Sokobanja in the use of oligomineral waters for balneotherapy purposes, we at Nataly Spa have enabled our guests to bathe and enjoy high-quality, rich oligomineral water with a characteristic physico-chemical composition. This water positively affects the preservation of health and vitality, as well as aiding in the recovery and treatment of various ailments.

Complete testing of the mineral water from well B1 in Sokobanja was conducted in the laboratories of the Institute for Health Protection “Dr. Milan Jovanović Batut,” while the radioactivity testing was carried out at the Institute for Occupational Medicine and Radiological Protection “Dr. Dragomir Karajović.”

The results of the analyses and expert opinions agree that the water from our well B1 is safe for use in balneotherapy, including bathing and aiding in the treatment or recovery from various musculoskeletal disorders, as well as for inhalation in cases of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

According to the aforementioned analyses, the water belongs to the category of calcium-magnesium hydrocarbonate, iodine oligomineral hypothems, with the following characteristics:

• clear, colorless and odorless, and as such is pleasant to stay in.
• the temperature of the water is 42C at the source, which puts it in the category of hypothermal waters (for bathing, the water cools down to a pleasant 35C)
• The ph value is a7.4 and gives an alkaline reaction (it is especially suitable for maintaining the skin’s acidity balance and preserving its natural barrier against bacteria and fungi)
• water mineralization is 0.48g/l, with a dry residue at 180 C of 0.271 gr/l, which characterizes it as oligomineral water
• Calcium cations are present with 46.1664 millival%, and magnesium with 36.5356 millival% (the mix of these two elements in water is extremely useful for bones and muscles, as well as the complete nervous system)
• Iodine is present in an amount of 2mg/l, and hydrocarbonate ions with 88,546 millival% (it is a real rarity and a blessing to bathe in iodine-enriched oligomineral water, considering the limited possibility of iodine intake from food and drink)
• weak electrolytes of metaboric and metasilicic acid, as well as dissolved carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, as mandatory companions of oligomeric waters, are within normal limits and safe for use,
• there are no toxic elements in the water
• radioactivity tested so that it can be used for balneological purposes.

Due to the physical and chemical properties of the mineral water from well B1, Konak Nataly Sokobanja, it can be used for balneotherapy purposes (as an auxiliary therapeutic agent) by bathing when heated to an indifferent temperature (34°C) for the following chronic conditions:

Staying in the pool or jacuzzi should be limited to 15-20 minutes, with breaks of 30 minutes, to allow the body to adjust to the temperature and mineral changes in the water and to optimize the utilization of the present elements. The presence of iodine will help reduce the risk of thyroid disorders and related hormonal imbalances.

After staying in the oligomineral water, it is possible to experience slight muscle relaxation and drowsiness, so it is important to listen to your body’s signals and rest with a refreshing juice or tea. For complete body revitalization, strengthening the body, and alleviating symptoms of illness, it is essential to adjust the number of treatments to your health condition and individual needs, which you know best.
