“The Black Elixir”
The healing treasure of Lacul Sarat
Ancient healing traditions meet modern medicine to create a healing panacea for various ailments: rheumatic, post-traumatic, peripheral neurological, gynecological, dermatological, endocrine. in Lacul Sărat, the sapropelic mud is of exceptional quality, with anti-inflammatory, vasodilatory, detoxifying and blood circulation-stimulating properties. In 1883, when the salinity of the water and the quality of the mud were tested, it was recorded that “the concentration of the water varies between 26-45%, exceeding that of all the other mineral waters in similar lakes in Europe” . In 1890 its quality was certified by the Chemistry Laboratory of the Paris School of Mines.
Salt Water Pool – The Natural Extension of Lake Therapy
The salt water pool within Alma Health Center harnesses the high mineral concentration, offering the benefits of the lake’s water in a controlled, safe, and comfortable environment throughout the year.

Recommendations for Use
To safely benefit from the effects of salt water, sessions of no more than 20 minutes are recommended. A relaxation and hydration break between sessions is advised, and no more than two sessions per day are recommended. Prolonged exposure may place strain on the cardiovascular system and increase the risk of dehydration.
Access
The salt water pool is intended exclusively for adults.
Children are more vulnerable to the effects of high saline concentration, with potential risks such as:
– accelerated dehydration;
– electrolyte imbalances;
– skin and eye irritation;
