Mineral water "Borjomi" can be attributed to the category of legends. They learned about its healing properties in the first half of the 19th century, when one of the colonels was surprisingly quick to cure stomach problems with ordinary water. She was found in a source near the Borzhomka River, which is located in Georgia. At this place, a resort was organized, which still remains a unique climatic zone. Water comes to the surface in a natural way. It includes juvenile waters, which are formed due to complex volcanic processes.

To improve the condition with pancreatitis, the Borjomi water will also help. Indications for use appear in case of obesity and diabetes mellitus of any type. It is able to optimize the metabolic processes of the body, and also have a beneficial effect on the excretory system.
It is advisable to use Borjomi in cases of renal failure (pyelonephritis, cystitis, urethritis and urolithiasis), as well as people who have problems with bile secretion (cholecystitis, liver pathology).
Borjomi very quickly copes with diseases of the upper respiratory tract and colds. She is also able to significantly accelerate the rehabilitation process after various operations.
Indications for use of Borjomi are due to its balanced composition, which allows you to partially replace table water with it. However, it is completely not recommended to exclude table water from your diet.
Water treatment "Borjomi". Structure. Indications for use. Beneficial features
Mineral water has a unique chemical composition, which determines its beneficial properties. This is alkaline water ; its mineralization is 5.5–7.5 grams per liter. The structure of Borjomi includes more than 80 useful chemical elements and compounds for the body. It contains a significant amount of calcium, sodium, potassium and chlorine compounds. In addition, compounds of magnesium, silicon, aluminum, strontium, titanium, boron, sulfur and fluorine, as well as ash of volcanic origin are present in its composition in a smaller amount.
Due to its unique composition, Borjomi perfectly copes with normalizing the acid-base balance of the stomach, helping to cope with the digestion of food. Regular consumption of water increases the amount of glycogen, an animal protein that simultaneously regulates liver activity and blood sugar. Other indications for the use of Borjomi are uric acid stones in the kidneys. It is able to completely dissolve stones with a diameter of not more than 0.7 centimeters.
For a person suffering from a hangover syndrome, Borjomi mineral water becomes especially relevant. Indications for use in this case are justified by the ability of water to retain moisture in the body and save it from dehydration.
Borjomi can be used not only as a component of treatment, but also for prevention. For example, during the heat it can not only quench thirst, but also restore the salt balance, which is disturbed in the body due to moisture loss.
Rules for the use of mineral water
The answer to the question of most people about how to drink Borjomi correctly lies in regularity and compliance with the norm. Despite all its useful qualities, in unlimited quantities it can harm the body. It will be right to use this water for half an hour before eating in the amount of 150 grams. Its healing properties will reveal much better if its temperature is equal to room temperature. It is recommended to heat the Borjomi in a water bath in order to preserve as many useful elements as possible. Mineral water should be drunk slowly, but in large sips.
The use of mineral water during pregnancy
During pregnancy, there is no strict ban on the use of this medicinal water, but still you should not drink more than one glass per day.
This dosage is due to the fact that the body needs time and energy to process the salts that make up the water.
"Borjomi" will help alleviate the condition during toxicosis, and also save you from heartburn, because you will have to refuse pills in this position.
Pregnant women can use Borjomi only after all the gas has been released from it.
Diseases of children. We are treated with mineral water
Indications and contraindications for children largely depend on their age. Doctors do not recommend drinking Borjomi for children under three years of age. After this time, it can be prescribed for constipation, since water has a diuretic, laxative and cleansing effect.
Regular use increases the amount of potassium in the body of children, which is necessary for their normal development.
Indications for use of Borjomi in children are gastritis. It is often used as one of the elements of treatment in children's sanatoriums. Its amount in the diet is strictly controlled. Most often, water is consumed three times a day.
The amount of water that children are allowed to drink depends on their body weight. The dose recommended by doctors is 4 ml per kilogram of the child’s weight. From what kind of gastritis a child suffers, it will depend on whether or not to drink Borjomi before or after a meal.
The use of "Borjomi" for weight loss
Overweight people should drink more water than the rest. Water “Borjomi” will help to dilute the diet. The use of mineral water has a positive effect on the functioning of the intestine, accelerates lipid metabolism and forms ATP acid. After its decay, additional energy is generated, and the enzyme, which breaks down fat, also improves. The body begins to clear itself of toxins.
The body will get rid of toxins faster if you drink Borjomi in the morning. Mineral water contributes to weight loss, but this does not mean that the entire diet should consist only of it. Healing water must be combined with proper nutrition and moderate physical activity. You can also arrange a fasting day at Borjomi, but it is important to remember that there can only be one day per week.
Overweight people can consume mineral water by first releasing gas from it. The fact is that it stimulates the production of gastric juice, thereby enhancing the desire for food intake.
Treatment of respiratory infections
As already mentioned, Borjomi has a therapeutic effect, helping to get rid of colds, coughs and bronchitis.
When asked about how to drink Borjomi during colds and coughs, most experts recommend mixing water with milk in a 1: 1 ratio. It is first necessary to remove carbon dioxide from water.
Borjomi is good for inhalation. An ultrasonic inhaler is well suited for this. Approximately 5 ml of water without gas should be drawn into the syringe. It is necessary to breathe for 7 minutes.
If there is no special inhaler, ordinary deep dishes are used. Water “Borjomi” needs to be warmed up to 50 degrees and breathe over it for five minutes.
Inhalations are recommended not only for treatment, but also for prevention. During a virus outbreak, they will help to stay healthy.
Carbon dioxide in Borjomi. Harmful effects on the body
The contraindications in the use of this water should first of all be paid to people who suffer from ulcers. Excessive use of this fluid will not benefit them. The fact is that the excessive amount of carbon dioxide that is present in most mineral waters, including Borjomi, will corrode the walls of the stomach, and will only aggravate problems with it. Carbon dioxide will disrupt the secretory and motor functions of the stomach, bile secretion and bile formation, and can also cause a violation of the acid-base balance in the body.
Borjomi Indications for use. The benefits and harms of mineral compounds
Minerals are essential components of healing waters. Most people are mistaken, suggesting that this water can completely replace the dining room and use it in unlimited quantities.
Borjomi has a high salt content. For 100 ml of water there are eight grams of these minerals. This dose exceeds the norm necessary for the body. Excess minerals will have the same negative effect on the body as their lack. Human organs and glands will be overloaded with produced substances, and their work will deteriorate. This will affect the functioning of the whole organism.
New biochemical reactions
Borjomi may cause uncontrolled compounding. This is especially pronounced during alcohol poisoning. Healing mineral water can significantly ease the course of a hangover, but it is rather difficult to secure this process. This is due to the fact that mineral substances saturated with alcohol and its decomposition products after entering the body can cause chaotic biochemical reactions that have not yet been studied. This can lead to irreversible metabolic changes.
Despite the fact that “Borjomi” is referred to as medical-table water, which are dispensed without a doctor’s prescription, its use can be fraught with some danger. Indications for use "Borjomi" should be determined by a therapist, gastroenterologist or nutritionist. They need to seek advice before deciding to use it for treatment or prevention.
