The magnificent magnetic sand

The universality of the health-resort Ureki is conditioned by magnetic traits of sandy beach, analogous kind of sand is met only on two places in the world. The Ureki magnetic sand has been known since 19 century. The first pioneers who experienced the majestic characters of Ureki sand were the local inhabitants who were directly in touch with the sand and were cured from many chronic diseases. Afterwards the medical staff Research-Institutes and the society became interested in the traits of Ureki sand. The artificial magnetic field as the physiotherapeutic medical means is used worldwide; but the universality of Ureki health-resort is conditioned by small intensity magnetic field.

The subtropical climate, sea, sun, and the magnetic sand create perfect conditions for rest and treatment. Positive treatment factors of Ureki can be used for curing various diseases, for adults and children.

The treatment is carried out individually under the doctors' observation. The medical course lasts 24 days. The positive results and testaments are conditioned not only by magnetic sand influence, but also by all treatment factors of Urki resort. Emotional and physiotherapy factors can be excluded - such as changing of environment, rest, beauty of landscape etc.

The Medical Features

Ureki fine-grained sand is dark gray color, which basic components are magnetite, titan-magnetite, ilmenite, pyroxene, quartz, granite, apatite, zircon and others. Magnetic fraction of sand is 23%, and total quantity of iron varies from 37 to 48 %, the magnetic perception of sand is 13-25 items more than ordinary sand. All these create basis for natural magnetic field of small intensity, which curing character has been known since the ancient times. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Indians and ancient doctors used the above-mentioned magnetic field for treatment.

The scientists of different countries proved positive influence of the magnetic field upon man's body. The current chemical processes are changed by magnetic field, which effects on the hydrogen concentration, coagulation and on other biological processes. Magnetic field causes anti-inflammation and painkiller effects, also stimulation of regenerating of tissues.

High-effectiveness of treatment is proved by scientific researches, which were carried out by Georgian Physiotherapy and Balneology Scientific-Research, Pediatric Scientific-Research and Geo-Physical Institutes on the following diseases:

• Heart and blood vessel diseases (hypertension I - II stage), chronic ischemia heart disease, cardiosclerosis, micro-cardiosclerosis, obliteration of the vessels lower extremity;
• Rheumatic and contagious chronic polyarthritis, osteoartrozis, osteocondromas and others;
• Nervous diseases (neurosis, climacteric neurosis, neuralgia, cerebral paralysis)
• Children diseases (spinal paralysis, monoplegias, hemiplegias, rachitis);
• Temporary and secondary female sterility methods of treatment.

The treatment period covers:

• Period of acclimatization,
