Though the effects of radon have been studied for decades, documenting relief for all sorts of of illnesses, no one really knows why. One claim is that the gas stimulates the nerves and helps the human body heal itself. Other researches say the gas stimulates the pituitary gland to produce health- giving hormones and natural steroids.

Whatever it is though, the visitors of Niška Banja declare that it works in healing all manner of aches and pains!

Mediana was a royal property with luxurious residence and highly organized economy, placed in the suburb of the antique Niš - Naissus. Mediana (modern Median) is an important archeological site from the late Roman period located in the eastern suburb of the Serbian city of Niš.

	It represents a luxurious residence with a highly organized economy. Excavatations have revealed a villa with peristyle, thermae, granary and water tower. The residence dates to the reign of Constantine the Great 306 to 337.
The structures of Mediana, the residence of Roman emperors, were erected on flat terrain, on an area which covers over 40 hectares, on a high bank, some distance from the river, at the foot of the hills which frame the Niš valley, near a thermal water source Niška banja.
