Abstract: Minerals found in the Earth's crust contribute to the mineralization of water, and there are much more mineral waters than in the oceans. Although the human body is composed of 70% water, fluid replacement is most optimal in a combination of ordinary and mineral water. The application of mineral waters is both for health needs, therapeutic purposes, and for balneological purposes. The basic characteristic of mineral waters is the composition of mineral substances, which range from 1 to 15 grams per liter of water. Depending on the predominant elements, certain waters that are sulfated, bicarbonate, ferruginous or of undefined composition can be accurately selected, prescribed and used. Mineral waters in Sijarinska Banja are moderately recommended for health, but with consultation with a doctor. The paper will present the characterization of these waters from a therapeutic point of view, to use their potential at an optimal level.
