Physical and Chemical Properties Prof. Nergis ERDOĞAN 17/Sep/04 - Pamukkale
The most important feature of Pamukkale mineral waters is CO2 content Carbondioxided Water • Effects • Indications Prof. Nergis ERDOĞAN 17/Sep/04 - Pamukkale
Effects of CO2 • Anti-inflammatory effects • Stimulation of warmth receptors in skin, inhibition of cold receptors • Vasodilation (precapillary arterioles) • Reconstruction of functionally closed capillaries • Increased venous response (“vein tension”) • Improvement in blood flow properties • Stimulation of sympathetic nerve system Prof. Nergis ERDOĞAN 17/Sep/04 - Pamukkale
Indications of CO2 • Arteriolar occlusive diseases • Cutaneous microcirculation disorders (Scleroderma) • Arteriolar hypertension • Venous insufficiency (particularly cold water use) • Mild to moderate heart failure (up to NYHA stage II) • Painful dystrophy (Sudeck’s disease), Stage I • Fibromuscular pain • Disorders in autonomic function and regulation • Cerebrovascular disorders • Polyneuropathies Prof. Nergis ERDOĞAN 17/Sep/04 - Pamukkale
Thermomineral springs of Pamukkale contain Calcium, Magnesium Hydrogencarbonate and Sulphate over 20% mval/l Prof. Nergis ERDOĞAN 17/Sep/04 - Pamukkale
Indications of Calcium and Magnesium Hydrogencarbonated Waters • Prophylaxis an metaphylaxis of oxalate, carbonate and phosphate stones • Chronic urinary infections • Calcium insufficiency • Vegetative dystonia and fatigue • Magnesium insufficiency • Functional disorders of stomach and intestines Prof. Nergis ERDOĞAN 17/Sep/04 - Pamukkale
Effects and Indications of Sulphated Waters • Functional diseases of upper abdomen (Liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, pancreas) • Functional bowel motility disorders (Chronically constipations) • Induction of gallbladder an pancreas secretion • Obesity and hyperlipidemia • Prophylaxix of calcium phosphate stones • Supportive treatment of urinary infections Prof. Nergis ERDOĞAN 17/Sep/04 - Pamukkale
