What to see in Garm Chashma?
The Garm-Chashma Spa was created in 1957, but its history began long before that. The spring has existed for more than a thousand years, and the locals quickly realized the effect of its waters. Treatment with water from the spring helped even people who were denied help by the leading healers of the area.
Such adoration of Garm-Chashma lasted for more than a century. In the early twentieth century, scientists gave a scientific explanation of the therapeutic properties of the water, but pilgrims still continue to believe in its sanctity. They do not care how or why the water from the spring helps to heal: they still come to the resort and offer prayers.
In Garm-Chashma there are not only hot springs, but also cold springs. They contain narzan, which people who come to the resort for recovery take instead of therapeutic water.
Around the spring there is a sanatorium of the same name, one of the largest and best known in all of Central Asia. This sanatorium helps people with diseases of respiratory organs, musculoskeletal apparatus, heart and blood vessels, as well as with gynecological and skin diseases.
Improvement procedure is as follows: a patient takes 20-25 baths with different compositions, in each bath he spends no more than 15 minutes. In case of acute illnesses vacationers are offered not only a bath but also heliotherapy.
The springs of the resort are located surrounded by the mountain ranges of the Pamirs. They are bath-shaped and lined with light frozen stalactites: they have different shapes and sizes due to the uneven deposition of salts. Tourists taking a bath have the impression that they are sinking into a glacial lake.
The water jets contain limestone and salts: being beaten out of the bowels of the earth for centuries, they have formed a hill of milky hue. The hill is covered with bizarre patterns formed by mineral impurities. The average temperature of the springs is +64°C.
