| The sanatorium has a thermal-mineral water spring (spring #10 Chaika 39 Celsius). Mineral water is widely used both as external and internal medicine through medical showers and baths using an extract of pine-needles, sage, roses, lavender, and a mix of other Crimean medicinal grasses, and other procedures. | |

The sanatorium is located in an old park and functions year round. For the last 10 to 15 years, the sanatorium underwent a major reconstruction that turned it into a modern rehabilitation center equipped with cutting edge technology. The sanatorium has multiple specialties and works in the following areas: Cardio-Rheumatic ailments, kidney system insufficiency, Dermatology, Psycho-nervous disorders, Orthopedics, a special department for environmental and radiation illnesses, Children and Teenage gynecology, Gastroenterology, and Pulmonary Systems.
