    Respiratory technique for niche

    The authorship of the following respiratory technique belongs to the Japanese professor Katsudzo Nishi. It is an element of a unique health system aimed at mobilizing the internal resources of the human body in the fight against the most serious diseases. Specificity of this technique is a systematic approach, based on the idea that the human body is a single system in which everything is interconnected. Therefore, health-improving methods should be directed not at its individual parts, but on the body as a whole. In the process of developing his methods, Nishi relied both on the ancient Eastern health systems, and on the achievements of modern science in the field of prevention and treatment of various diseases. The Niche system is an effective means of prolonging youth, treating illnesses and restoring health.

    From the point of view of Nishi, each organism is endowed with nature with the potential to maintain its state and cope with various ailments. But in conditions of global external and internal overloads of the organism of a modern man, the natural healing powers of the organism are depleted. Therefore, it is necessary to support them and help to work more efficiently. But to reach this goal is necessary through only natural methods, since any external influence leads to changes in the functioning of the system.

    On the process of breathing, Nishi looks somewhat unconventional, believing that a man breathes not only with light, but with all skin, that is, the skin is our second respiratory organ. The skin breathes through small holes - pores. The fact that this is really breathing, affecting the vital activity of the body, can confirm a simple experiment. If a person's body is placed in a poisonous atmosphere, but leaving the opportunity to breathe clean air, he will still die, a blockage of pores will occur, and pulmonary breathing will not cope with poisoning the body.

    The skin that breathes looks young, healthy, supple, so it is very important to consciously give our second respiratory organ the ability to breathe. Therefore, exposure to the body in the fresh air, according to Nishi, is not only a hardening procedure, but also an effective means of improving the body.

    But, in order for this procedure to be effective, it is necessary to re-teach the skin to breathe, and for this it is necessary to revitalize its capillaries and to make the pores breathe. How to do it?

    It is necessary to accustom the body to cold. Under the influence of cold, blood circulation increases, energy begins to circulate in the body. As a result, the capillaries come to life, the pores are opened. To accustom an organism to a cold it is possible by wiping and dousing.

    The Niche system is based on special exercises and body cleansing. On the path to self-healing, the most effective means are light, air, water, movement, rational nutrition and mental regulation.

    Using the technique of K. Nishi, you will notice how gradually it will become your way of life, having developed the habit of living according to the laws of nature. Striving for health, work and learning will become a constant companion of your life.

    The same effect on the body as the cold, has a fever, or a traditional bath. In a bath under the influence of heat from the body emits a lot of sweat, with which all waste is deduced.

    After the skin is warmed up by heat, it is necessary to conduct energy massage. Make several stroking movements from the chin to the forehead and from the forehead to the temples, as if you are washing.

    Then, with gentle tapping movements, massage the head from the back of the head to the forehead and, as it were, comb the hair with the pads of fingers from the forehead to the back of the head. The next exercise - pads of fingers rub out the auricles from the bottom up, so that they begin to "burn."After that, slap your hands: first right - left from shoulder to hand on outer and inner sides, then left right. Slap and the whole body from the neck to the lower abdomen and at the sides at the level of the waist. Then pat your legs and back from the bottom up, as far as you can get. K. Nishi advises to perform this exercise in the morning.

    After completing the exercises, it is advisable to lie on a hard surface, relax and try to feel how your skin absorbs the energy of nature. According to Nishi, the above exercises were successful if you feel the movement of energy in a spiral throughout the body. Take a few breaths and exhalations, feel the unity with the external nature.

    Breathing exercises for the swamp

    In respiratory gymnastics, certain sounds must be pronounced, and on the exhale, the consonants "sh", "ui", "z", "c" are first spoken quickly. Then, as the air exhales from the lungs, vowels are added to them: "y", "a", "e", "u".These exercises are first done for several sundas, and then the time of their pronunciation gradually increases to half a minute.

    1. The fast phase is "w," the slow phase?"Y": "sh-sh-u-y-u-y-uy".

    2. Fast phase - "uh", slow phase?"A": "uh-uh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah."

    3. Fast phase - "h", slow phase?"E": "z-z-ee-ee-ee".

    4. Fast phase - "c", slow phase?"And": "c-s-u-i-u-and-i".

    The combination of consonant and vowel sounds can be chosen arbitrarily, as most conveniently.

    Respiratory system of the elderly

    Pulmonary reserves decrease with aging. In the musculoskeletal framework of the chest after 60 years, degenerative-dystrophic processes gradually occur: the elasticity of the connective tissue decreases, calcification foci in the rib cartilages appear, osteoporosis of the ribs arises, and the mobility of the rib and vertebral arches is limited. In intercostal muscles the protein content decreases, fatty deposits and connective tissue are formed. As a result of these processes, the stiffness of the chest increases, which reduces the vital capacity of the lungs, the forced vital capacity, and the volume of forced expiration.

    Age changes occur in the bronchial tree, connective tissue of the lungs and alveoli. Therefore, in the elderly and old age volumetric-velocity values ​​of air flow in the air-conducting system of the lungs are reduced.

    In the connective tissue of the lungs, dehydration develops, causing loss of fibers by fibrillarity and elasticity, and the deposition of calcium salts increases stiffness and reduces the extensibility of the pulmonary tissue. As a result, the mobility of the pulmonary margins and the excursion of the dome of the diaphragm in the period between 60 and 90 years of life decrease by 1-1.5 cm, which reduces the size of the vital capacity of the lungs. The basal membrane of the air-blood barrier increases from 1-1.5 μm( 40-49 years) to 34 μm( at 70 years).The walls of the alveoli become unevenly thickened, and the collagen fibers that grow in them form the sclerosis zones.

    Changes in the elasticity of the chest and lungs lead to a disruption of the normal relationship between pulmonary ventilation and perfusion, while increasing the volume of physiological dead space. All these changes cause a progressive decrease in the saturation of the arterial blood with oxygen.paO2 decreases by approximately 5% every 15 years, starting at the age of 30, and PaCO2 increases by about 2% every 10 years after the age of 50 years. At the same time, a corresponding compensating increase in bicarbonate concentration in the blood is observed, therefore, the arterial blood pH does not change. Normal for different age paO2 can be calculated by the following formula: paO2 = 100 -( 0.34 x age).

    The increase in the airgematic barrier further prevents the diffusion of gases from the alveoli into the blood, as a result not only the oxygen saturation of the blood decreases but the CO2 content also increases. By the age of 85-90 years, the pulmonary tissue mass decreases on average by 23% relative to 65-85 years [Tkachenko BI, 2001].

    Age-related changes in paO2 are not accompanied by clinical manifestations of hypoxia, as oxygen consumption decreases with aging. This is due to the fact that the elderly people are losing muscle mass, the intensity of metabolism in organs and systems.

    The action of the sauna on the respiratory system

    The sauna( sauna) affects the body multilaterally. The most important factors of its physiological influence are temperature, humidity, mechanical and time factors, and also gravitation. The high temperature of the steam room irritates the thermoreceptors of the skin and mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, and the heat in the sauna( bath) irritates directly the upper respiratory tract receptors.

    The main body( if you can say so) of the respiratory system is the lungs that perform gas exchange with the environment: they absorb the gases necessary for life and allocate waste. It is the lungs that first of all are exposed to all that is in the inhaled air, including harmful substances: dust, exhaust gases, other harmful substances, in the abundance of airborne especially polluted areas. It is through the lungs that the first blow to the organism is made by bacteria, microbes, viruses, fungi, etc.

    In order to minimize the harmful effects of such substances and bacteria, the lungs have to perform barrier functions as if from within the body. This can be done due to the fact that respiratory organs( lungs, nose with nasal passages, trachea, bronchi, numerous bronchioles and alveoli) have a huge surface: with a deep inspiration it reaches 100 m2.

    Lungs are one of the largest and most active organs of man. Numerous glands located on the surface of the lungs actively "work", producing substances necessary for neutralizing those harmful components of air that enter the lungs with inhaled air.

    In order for the cleaning capabilities of the lungs to be at the right moment, they need to be cleaned from time to time. The most effective method of cleaning is the so-called landscape scapegraphy, that is, the location in the area most remote from contaminated areas, especially in the forest, where the air is saturated with oxygen, phytoncides, air ions, ethereal and other aromatic substances. It is with the help of these substances, inhaled with air, that all the respiratory organs are cleansed.

    Another known method of purifying the respiratory system is the special inhalation used in some medical institutions, and also today the rarely used pouring into the lungs of special medicinal substances, using the same inhalation.

    However, without exaggeration, it can be argued that the most accessible and effective method of cleansing the respiratory system are bath procedures, among which the paramount role is played by the steam, It is in the steam room that the possibility of a comprehensive purifying effect on the lungs is created. With the help of sauna heat, steam saturated with the same volatile substances, aromatic substances of directional action, a powerful purifying effect is achieved: all the organs of the respiratory system are cleaned, down to the smallest alveoli. After visiting the bath, even during a cold or with another disease of the respiratory system, it breathes easily.

    Due to the comprehensive impact on the respiratory system in the steam room( hot air, steam, aromatic and other substances), positive changes occur in this system.

    The impact strength depends on the microclimate of the steam and physiological state of the soaring. Saturation of air with water vapor promotes the exchange of alveolar air, improves the activity of the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract due to the condensation of water vapor on it, affects the thermoregulation of the body by sweating, etc. Under the influence of the bath, oxygen consumption increases and carbon dioxide emissions increase. During the stay in the steam room under the influence of heat, the respiratory rate increases to 20 breaths per minute, the vital capacity of the lungs increases, and sometimes by 20%.Under the influence of the bath, ventilation increases.

    One of the main stress factors of the bath is the inhalation of hot air with subsequent reflex respiratory adaptation and changes in blood circulation. It is this mechanism that protects the human body from excessive increase in the internal temperature of the body and violations of homeostasis.

    Even before the increase in the internal temperature of the body under the influence of local hyperthermia, metabolic processes in the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract are accelerated and the thermoregulatory function of the mucosa and submucosal structures is activated. Under the influence of these reactions, perfusion and gas exchange increase, which leads to an increase in the transport of heat to the mucosa of the respiratory tract;it is these physiological processes that are responsible for the preventive and therapeutic effect of the bath on respiratory organs.

    The heat of the steam room promotes the relaxation of the tissues of the external respiratory organs, improves the mobility of segments of the spine and costal-vertebral joints, relaxes ligamentous structures, strained respiratory muscles, etc. An important effect of the steam room is the expansion of the bronchi. As a result of local relaxation of the respiratory organs, breathing becomes frequent and deep.

    Hot air, affecting the skin and mucous membrane of the nasal cavity, helps to reduce mucosal edema in respiratory diseases and reduces discharge from the nose. The bath can play an important role in the prevention of respiratory diseases.

    Active factors in the bath in the treatment of respiratory diseases is heat, hyperthermia of the whole body, contrasting temperature effects. The bath positively influences the immune processes and facilitates the course of chronic inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract, which often do not succumb to the usual methods of therapy.

    Bath( sauna) has a wide indication for use in the treatment of respiratory diseases. It is prescribed for the purpose of recompensation in the reparative and rehabilitation stages of diseases. With the correct use of the bath, relapses of respiratory infections occur less often, leading to the appearance of respiratory failure and its weighting. Bath procedures reduce the increased tone of the respiratory musculature, increase the elasticity of the tissue structures of the chest( ligaments, muscles, etc.), increase the mobility of the spine and ribs, which ultimately leads to a slowing of breathing and increased ventilation with reduced work during breathing. The bath is used in the treatment of chronic bronchitis and bronchial asthma.

    The bath positively influences the processes with such painful syndromes as coughing, noises and wheezing in the lungs. After the bath increases the mobility of the chest, patients less often cough, noises and wheezing in the lungs decrease.

    Indications for the appointment of a sauna( sauna) for diseases of the respiratory tract: allergic reactions;chronic sinusitis, bronchosinusitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis;initial stages of hypertrophic or atrophic inflammation of the upper respiratory tract;chronic nonspecific bronchitis, chronic obstructive bronchitis, bronchial asthma, conditions after pneumonia;pneumoconiosis;ozena;chronic specific lesions of the lungs and respiratory tracts without signs of activity of the process.

    Contraindications: acute respiratory viral diseases, acute specific and nonspecific inflammation of the respiratory tract, bronchiectatic disease, chronic decompensated respiratory diseases with cardiac overload, malignant tumors or metastases, open form of tuberculosis.

    Treatment of mummies in inflammatory diseases of the respiratory system and ENT organs

    In rhinitis, tonsillitis, pneumonia, tracheitis, bronchitis, with chronic inflammatory and allergic diseases, folk healers are recommended to lubricate the surface of the inflamed area with a swab for the night: the nasal cavity, mouth and nostrils, or rinsethroat in the morning on an empty stomach and in the evening before bedtime a mixture of mummy with milk or cow butter and honey. The course of treatment is up to 28 days with a 10-day break between courses. In total it is necessary to conduct 1-3 courses of treatment depending on the form and severity of the disease.

    When pulmonary hemorrhage is taken inside a mixture of 0.2 g of mummy with cherry or peach syrup in a ratio of 1: 20. The daily intake includes 2-3 doses( in the evening, always before bedtime).It is necessary to conduct 3-4 courses of therapy for 25 days each with 10-day breaks between courses. It is allowed to use a mixture of mummies with honey and milk in the same proportions.

    Treatment of mud diseases of the respiratory system and ENT organs

    These include angina, bronchitis, pneumonia, rhinitis, tracheitis, etc.

    With bronchitis, mud is heated, for 10-15 minutes it is applied to the chest and back. The procedure is carried out no more than 1 time per day or a day before the cure.

    Respiratory and sound gymnastics for bronchial asthma

    Begin breathing exercises with "full" breathing, in which the front wall of the abdomen is protruded by inhaling with simultaneous lifting of the chest. During exhalation the thorax descends, the stomach retracts. After this, the inhalation is extended in relation to the exhalation, and then the exhalation is prolonged.

    Sound gymnastics are special exercises in pronouncing sounds. Begin with the utterance of the sounds "mmmm", followed by the exhalation - "pf-f."Their pronunciation causes vibration of the vocal cords, which is transmitted to the trachea, bronchi, lungs, chest, which helps to relax spasmodic bronchi and bronchioles. The greatest force of the air jet develops with the sounds "n", "t", "k", "f", the middle one - with the sounds "b", "d", "d", "c", "h";the smallest - with the sounds "m", "k", "l", "p".It is recommended to say a roaring sound "rr-rr" on exhalation, starting from 5-7 to 25-30 s, and the sounds "b-r-p-ohh", "b-r-r-f-x", "Dr-r-ohh", "dr-r-f-x", "b-r-r-uh", "buh", "bat", "tank", "beh", "bah ".

    The patient should, after inhaling through the nose, take a short pause and exhale the air through the open mouth followed by a longer pause.

    The duration of the procedure is from 10 to 30 minutes.
