The first institutions, vaguely reminiscent of modern sanatoriums, first appeared during the time of Ancient Rome. It was then that a sanitarium began to be created in the vicinity of mineral water sources, where legionnaires and veterans were sent to restore strength and health. In our country, their appearance was in the era of Peter the Great, who decided to establish balneotherapeutic resorts on the model of those already existing in Western Europe. The sphere of sanitary-prophylactic treatment reached a special peak in the times of the USSR, when it became available to the masses. And today, in our country, the traditions of balneotherapy, laid down in the 20s of the 20th century, continue. In particular, the sanatorium "Karacharovo" (Tver region) receives guests from all over Russia and some countries of the near abroad.
