Changes in skin hydrophilicity under the influence of koumiss and koumissotherapy

In numerous works devoted to studying various aspects of koumiss effect on human organism, in particular in case of pulmonary tuberculosis (TBC), the study of koumiss effect on water exchange in organism received comparatively little reflection. Meanwhile, one can expect certain changes, taking into account both significant amount of water introduced into the body when drinking koumiss and chemical composition of koumiss (lactic acid, alcohol, salts, etc.). Considering beforehand all the complexity of this influence and the difficulty of comprehensive study of this issue, we set ourselves the task to carry out observations on changes in skin hydrophilicity under the influence of koumiss and koumissotherapy according to Mac Clure u Aldrich's method.
