Duzdag Salt Mine Therapy Center Tourism

The Duzdag Salt Mine Therapy Center is a distinct health and wellness destination located near Naftalan, a city renowned for its therapeutic crude oil, in Azerbaijan. The therapy center is set inside an old salt mine, where the microclimate is characterized by its remarkable air purity and consistency in temperature and humidity levels throughout the year. The environment is free from allergens and bacteria, which creates an ideal setting for the treatment of respiratory conditions. This natural therapy, known as speleotherapy, is particularly beneficial for patients with asthma, chronic bronchitis, and other respiratory ailments. The mine boasts halls carved into the rock salt, where patients can relax and inhale the salt-infused air. The therapeutic properties of the mine are attributed to the high concentration of sodium chloride and microelements in the air that have anti-inflammatory and mucolytic effects. The Duzdag center offers comfortable facilities for visitors, including treatment rooms, accommodations, and recreational areas. Stays usually range from a few days to several weeks, tailored to the individual health needs of the visitors.
