Antler baths are a balneotherapy procedure where a person immerses in warm water with added antler concentrate or antler decoction. The tradition of antler baths in Altai spans over 100 years. Today, antler baths are a hallmark of Altai sanatoriums and one of the most sought-after procedures in medical and wellness tourism.
