balneotherapy through the application of thermally warmed sand and a combination of
healthy micro-bioclimate, purity of the natural environment, and the presence of fresh
and healthy local foods to treat a wide range of medical conditions. The sand sauna
treatment most likely affect the body by means of the sand’s high temperature and the
presence of chemical elements those are biologically important.
One of the well-experienced health resorts is the Tavan Els kidney sanatorium. The
Tavan Els sanatorium treats patients with the following signs: fatigue, shortness of
breath, bone and back pain, swelling of the legs, high blood pressure (over
130/80mmHg), infrequent urination, proteinuria, and blood in the urine. Their goal is to
delay progression of chronic kidney diseases prevent or slow additional damage to the
patient’s kidneys, improve blood circulation, decrease the use of medicines, and
educate patients about alternative therapies.
Our study investigated effects of sand sauna treatment more considering some
laboratory findings. There conducted totally 720 patients where 429 inpatients and 291
outpatients. This study selected 150 patients with chronic glomerulonephritis symptoms
of swelling 31%, blood in urine 9%, high blood pressure (Over 130/80 mmHg) 10%
and mixed conditions 50%. After the 10 days treatment, the proteinuria was decreased
52.6%, and blood in urine decreased 16, 6% from the total number of patients.
Hypertension was decreased 35% of patients from 10 to 20mmHg and 45% of patients
did not changed. A swelling was cleared 51%, 38% decreased and 3% did not change.
66% of patients down the weight loss about 2-4kg, and 34% of patients did not change.
We observed typical changes during 15-20 minutes bathing, heart rate increased from
65±1.3 bpm at rest to 82±2.4 bpm in 45°C hot sand bath. Blood pressure increased
from 132±4.0/82±2.2 mmHg at rest to 139±1.4/81±1.0 at the bathing. Body
temperature was increased 1-2°C during bathing. Because of the equipment limits, we
could not check the urinary sediment, and serum creatinine.
Sand sauna treatment appears to be an effective and useful method to treat financial and
emotional burdens problems of patients with chronic kidney disease problems that
especially for the symptoms of high blood pressure, cause of swelling, proteinuria,
