The human body consists of 70% water – this fact has long been known to everyone. If we lose from 6 to 8% of liquid, then our body involuntarily falls into a state of semi-unconsciousness, and if the loss of water in the body exceeds 12%, then the thick blood is unable to pass through the blood vessels, as a result of which death occurs. It is not for nothing that there is a statement that life is movement, and water is constantly in motion. An ecologically clean town in Western Ukraine – Truskavets has in its arsenal not only mountain air and a favorable climate of green areas, but also a variety of mineral waters. Truskavets surprises many domestic and foreign scientists with a large number of healing mineral water sources, there are more than 25 of them in the resort town. Among the sources of healing water, there are such cute names of female names as “Maria”, “Sofia”, “Anna”, “Kateryna”, “Barbara” “, but also quite funny – “Naftusya”, “Yuzya”, “Bronislava” and others. At first, the resort town developed as an oil production village. But even in the distant 19th century, the approaches to the study of this or that phenomenon differed little – they looked for one thing, but found something completely different. In 1810, in the then still village of Truskavets, instead of oil, mineral water began to flow from a fountain. But not just water, but healing! The first scientific research conducted on the healing properties of Truskavets mineral waters was conducted by the Lviv scientist Teodor Torosevich in 1835. The chemist-pharmacist classified the sources, determined their chemical composition, explained which source helps with which diseases, which waters and how to take them.
