In almost all municipalities of Southern Georgia mineral waters are extracted, which the local population has been using to treat a variety of diseases since ancient times. There are both cold and naturally warm mineral springs in the region, with most warm healing baths still active today (in Borjomi, Tsikhisjvari, Sadgeri, Dviri, Akhaltsikhe, Aspindza, etc.).
The impeccable healing features of Borjomi water have been known since ancient times, as evidenced by stone spa baths from the first century found in the Borjomi Park. The uniqueness and specificity of Borjomi water lies in the fact that warm water rises from the ground and is saturated with over 60 minerals. Borjomi mineral water is also used for the treatment of digestive organs.
Likani is the second most important healing mineral water in Borjomi. Likani is characterized by a weaker mineralization than Borjomi.
Another mineral water of the Borjomi region, Mitarbi, is bottled by Borjomi Factory #1. Its mineral deposit is located in the Miturbula River Valley, near the village of Little Mitarbi.
