Chon-Tuz means Big Salt, this is the name of both the nearest ail and the deposit. It is known that salt is capable of healing a number of diseases, including allergies, neuroses, and bronchial asthma. There is a speleological sanatorium, a deposit of natural mineral salts.

Since Soviet times, it has become a center for the treatment of lungs and asthma. High natural ionization of air is characteristic (in 1 m3 of air from 4-6 to 11 thousand). At the same time, the bacterial contamination of the air is low (in 1 m3 of air there are from 3 to 5 microbes). Inside the sanatorium the air temperature at any time of the year is 8-10 ° C. Atmospheric pressure 600 mm (Hg), relative humidity 45-65%, there is also a small lake.

In a mountainous climate, the microclimate of a salt mine has a beneficial effect on the human body. Between the layers of boulders are salt layers, you can see felt mat and felt carpets, which have been preserved since ancient times.
