Thousands flock to 'Salt Lake' on the Hovsan-Zigh road in Surakhani district every summer.
Residents claim the mud helps with pain, but doctors warn of potential dangers.
One resident said, "I have been coming since 2014. It has greatly helped my pain."
Another resident, visiting for 30 years, said it helps with kidney, lung, and bone pain.
Doctor Irada Hajieva emphasizes the need for medical examination before mud treatment.
"If the mud's composition is not analyzed and MRI results are not considered, complications may arise," she said.
Spinal hernias, protrusions, and cancer patients face serious risks without expert advice.
