Van Gölü suyu tedavi amacıyla kullanılabilir mi?

Suyun tedavi amaçlı olarak kullanımı sıcak su kaynakları ile ilişkili olduğu gibi, soğuk mineralli suların uygun kullanım koşullarına getirilmesi ile de ilişkili olabilmektedir. Soğuk bir su kaynağı olarak Van Gölü suyu toplam mineralizasyonu 20.101 mg/L olan bikarbonatlı, sülfatlı, sodyumlu, klorürlü, potasyumlu karışık formda, pH'ı 9,3 olan mineralli bir sudur. Bu kimyasal yapıda suyu farklı kılan temel bileşenler; genel mineral içeriğinin fazlalığının yanı sıra, oldukça yüksek bikarbonat miktarı ile belirgin alkali olan pH değeridir. Van Gölü suyu balneoterapötik olarak, tek başına veya diğer tedavi modaliteleri ile birlikte bir kısım hastalıklarda tamamlayıcı tedavi unsuru olarak kullanılabilecek niteliklere sahiptir. Bu potansiyelin kullanılabilirliği ancak kirletici faktörlere karşı alınacak kalıcı önlemler, modern ve bilimsel uygulamaların gerçekleştirilebileceği uygun tesisler, bilimsel kadrolarla birlikte kalifiye personel temini gibi önemli eksikliklerin giderilmesine bağlıdır

[Can Lake Van water be used for treatment?]

Using the water for treatment purposes is associated hot springs, it can also be realized by bringing, cold mineral water appropriate operating conditions. As a source of cold water, Lake Van water has a mineralization of 20,101 mg / L. It has mixed form consisting of bicarbonate, sulphate, sodium, chloride, potassium components and its ph is 9.3. The main elements making this water different are the abundance of its overall mineral content, high level of bicarbonate and significantly alkaline ph value. Lake Van water beeing balneotherapeutic, has the qualities wihch might be used as a complementary therapy in some diseases either alone or together with other treatment modalities. The availability of this potential is dependent on the eliminatione of important defeciencies such as permanent measures to be taken against this pollutant factors, modern and appropriate facilities in which scientific applications can be carried out and the recruitment of qualified personnel together with proper scientific cadres.
