The well-known spa of Augusta (Hissarya’s ancient name) is situted in the southern slopes of the Sredna Gora Mountains, close to the famous Valley of Roses. Hissarya today is a modern spa resort whose greatest asset consists in 22 natural and prospected hydromineral sources, with a total exploitation flow of about 2,800 l/min.
Hissarya’s mineral waters are characterized as slightly mineralized, hydrocarbonic-sulphate-sodium, with a high alkaline reaction (pH 8.3 to 9.02). Their temperature ranges between 27 °C and 51°C and they vary in radioactivity, fluorine and metasilicic acid content. The water is mainly indicated for treatment of diseases of the kidneys and secretory system, liver and pancreas. Particulary good treatment results are achieved with comprehensive hydrotherapy and climatic cures, physiotherapy and kinesitherapy in cases of diseases of the kidneys and secretory system, such as kidney stones, pyelonephritis, chronic nephritis and chronic renal insufficiency.
Excellent therapeutic results have also been achieved with the use of mineral waters for the treatment of disease of the liver, pancreas, gall bladder and bile ducts. A very good effect is exerted on cholelithiasis by means of subaqueous intestine baths. Special comprehensive balneotherapy is also applied in a number of diseases of the digestive system – gastric and duodenal ulcers, chronic gastritis, colitis; some accompanying conditions of the locomotory system, the endocrine system and the metabolism.
