THE MEDICINAL VALUE OF NARROW DARIDAQ ARSENIC MINERAL WATER AND HOW TO USE IT
The article provides information on the medicinal properties of the arsenic mineral water Daridag, located in the territory of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. It is noted that from a historical point of view, the history of the use of mineral waters for medicinal purposes in the territory of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic dates back to ancient times. However, their extensive scientific research began after the 1920 s. During the research, it was determined that the temperature of water from sources entering the surface by a natural flow was 8-22<sup>0</sup>C, and the temperature of water from drilled wells was 39-52<sup>0</sup>C. There are 215 mineral springs in the region, of which 213 hydrocarbonate and 2 sulfuric springs. Arsenic water Daridag contains mineral salts, a lot of carbon dioxide. The main components of the ionic composition of mineral waters are calcium - Ca, alkalis - Na + K and magnesium cations - Mg, as well as hydrocarbonate - HCO<sub>3</sub>, sulfate - SO<sub>4</sub> and chlorine - chlorine anions - Cl. Mineral water Daridag in Nakhchivan AR carbonated - arsenic - iron - chloride - hydrocarbonate - sodium. These waters are valuable carbonate-arsenic and belong to carbonate-arsenic-iron-chlorine-hydrocarbonate-sodium mineral waters. There are 37 sources, including 32 wells. The carrying capacity of the Daridag mineral water group is 3125783 l/day, the temperature is from 17 to 52<sup>0</sup> C. The presence of alkaline elements together with arsenic in the Daridag arsenic mineral water increases its therapeutic value. Improves nutrition, treats some skin and parasitic diseases, blood diseases. Prevents diseases of the liver, spleen and fever.
