Abstract:
Because of the blue, clean sea, sandy, long beaches, source of healing, sulfurous water, mineral mud-peloids, sea salt and its bases, Ulcinj represents one of the most important healing places in the region and wide. Ladies’ beach is located at the site between hotel “Albatros” and former hotel “Galeb” (unnecessarily destroyed) in the area of pine forest. It is sheltered by greenery and vegetation. This site is known as a place where naked women bathe, an ideal beach for sunbathing, swimming, curing and healing due to sulfurous water. The beach is pebbly with the length of about 100m. There is a rocky section in the left and access to the cave, which is visited by barren women, and those with other diseases of female genitals. Here can also swim weak swimmers and non-swimmers, due to the shallow water at the beginning of the beach. Thanks to medical properties, the beach has been visited by women from Ulcinj and other places since the old times.
There are discovered three sites of medical, cold, sulfurous water springs on the rocky part of Ulcinj sea coast. First scientific merit of popularizing this site is that of dr Jovan Kujacic, who in 1932 published his first book about Ulcinj as a spa resort. Otherwise first researches of the sulfurous water came from Italian scientists back in 1925, which discovered the formula.
Sulfurous mineral water springs of Ulcinj are compared with famous springs in Aachen Germany said Russian scientist Ščererbakov.

According to previous studies it was found that in Montenegro are 15 springs of mineral water of different chemical properties. Three of these are located in Ulcinj.
It is about cold, mineral waters, which in an uncontrolled way flow into the sea. On the coast, on the site of the spring the water can be used for drinking. Inhalation of mixed sea and sulfurous water is very effective for remedial treatment:
of bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive diseases, chronic and allergic diseases of respiratory organs and as I have already mentioned chronic gynecological diseases, with special emphasis on sterility. Sulfurous water is beneficial for the digestive system organs.
The basic supplementary treatment for chronic respiratory diseases aims to amend an allergic basis. Specific desensitization when possible is always helpful and very important in conjunction with other factors. Spa and climatic treatment and its direct and sedative effect as well as living in an environment with little dust almost always have a salutary effect. The effects of asthma and COPD are prescribed to decrease the allergen level, reduction of total and specific IgE and eosinophil.
The sea on this site is clean, dark blue color, with waves from 0.5 to a maximum height of 5m, which have a very positive effect of natural aerosols. Breaking on the rocky coast, created from sea water with lots of minerals, sulfur and products of ancient pine forests microaerosol that reach the farthest socket. It is recommended to visit the sea 2 x 21 days a year. Long-term stay at sea can and almost always has a positive effect on asthma, while short-term stay can have negative effects and lead to a worsening of the disease.
Key words:
chronic respiratory diseases, springs of mineral water, climatic treatment.
