Since the mid-19th century, the unique Kuyalnik mud resort has been helping patients restore and strengthen their health with its remarkable healing properties. Frequently visiting this place, the great Russian surgeon N.I. Pirogov noted in his medical monograph: "...I saw successful results after the use of mud or estuary baths in Odesa, and therefore I advise military hospital doctors to take every opportunity to send their bedridden patients to the seaside."

Healing Properties of Kuyalnik Estuary

Kuyalnik mud is recognized as a benchmark for its therapeutic properties. It contains a complex of active substances, macro- and microelements that prevent inflammatory processes, stimulate the body's protective and adaptive reactions, and help restore the functions of damaged organs and systems. Particularly valuable in treatment is the brine of Kuyalnik Estuary—a natural bioproduct with high mineralization (85-95 g/l), containing many beneficial compounds for the human body.
