Archman is a village in Baherden District of Turkmenistan, famed for the eponymous hot springs located about 11 km away.[1]
Etymology
Legend has it that the hot springs (and the village) were named after a shepherd who had discovered its healing properties, after getting cured of a skin rash.[1]Template:Efn
Medical Tourism
The spa, Archman Sanitorium (Template:Langx), was opened in 1915.[1] Reputed for the healing properties of its water, different alternative treatment regimens—mineral spa, gastric lavage, balneotherapy, drinking therapy, and others—are available, in combination with medical imaging services and physiotherapy.[1][2][3]
In 2001, President Niyazov opened a marble resort, replacing previous Soviet facilities; this was further expanded in 2009 into a 920-bed center.[1]Template:Efn Primarily aimed at those patients who had to visit the sanatorium for about a week, the project has been fairly successful.[1] There is one small mausoleum, devoted to Gochgar Ata, near the resort.[1]
Limnology
The water is slightly alkaline with low sulfide levels; it is classified as potable water.[2][4] It is rich in minerals like chlorine, sodium, calcium, and magnesium.[5]Template:Efn
Transportation
In 2003, an Iranian company was contracted to connect the M37 highway with the sanitorium.[6][7] It is also served by an eponymous station on the Trans-Caspian Railway, about 9 km away.[8][9]
