There is a saying in Tanggangzi Hot Spring: It is useless to come to Tanggangzi unless it is buried in the mud. So, is Tang Gangzi's hot mucus really that magical? According to experts, this is the only moist soil with a temperature as high as 45℃ in Asia so far. According to the research of the national geological department, the formation of thermal slime was formed by the accumulation of volcanic ash after volcanic eruption hundreds of millions of years ago, and it was formed by physical and chemical actions such as hot spring nourishment for nearly hundreds of millions of years. It has the advantages of uniform particles and soft and delicate clay. It has unique curative effect on rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis, arthropathy, neurasthenia, soft tissue injury and fatigue relief. It is also widely used for skin beauty and care. Tanggangzi hot spring (sanatorium) was built in 1949, with a history of more than 50 years. This is a large sanatorium with 10 wards and 1300 beds, covering an area of 640,000 square meters and nearly 1000 employees. It is China No.4, and it is also the rehabilitation center of Liaoning Province and the training base for physical therapists of the Ministry of Health of China. Treatment methods have also developed from several single therapies in the early days of the hospital to more than 60 kinds of physical therapies and Chinese medicine therapies such as water, mud, wax and electricity. There are seven clinical departments including rehabilitation, orthopedics, rheumatism, geriatrics, soft tissue injury and neurodermatology, and four therapeutic departments including physical medicine, sports medicine, acupuncture and massage. Among them, the massage technique combines the northern and southern schools, and on this basis, the northern school massage is further developed, which has become a unique treatment method in our hospital. The hospital receives more than 5,000 inpatients with chronic diseases and 400,000 tourists for rehabilitation every year.
