Kislovodsk Balneological and Mud Clinic

The Kislovodsk Balneogryazelechebnitsa (Кисловодская бальнеогрязелечебница) is a public balneotherapy and mud-therapy institution set on the Kurortny Boulevard in the heart of the Kavminvody spa town of Kislovodsk. Its treatment department occupies the historic October Narzan Baths (Октябрьские ванны) building at No. 8, providing consultative and outpatient medical services without accommodation.

Narzan mineral water

Treatments use the famous naturally carbonated Kislovodsk narzan mineral water. According to the centre, narzan baths contain "углекислота и минеральные соли" — carbon dioxide and mineral salts that exert mechanical, thermal and chemical effects on the skin, which is why the narzan bath is one of the most popular procedures offered.
