Salt caves

The existence of salt caves is known, probably, to all people. Earlier in such caves it would be fashionable to go on excursions: they are very beautiful and unusual. Today we descend into salt caves already and only to admire their fanciful charm, but also to be treated. This kind of treatment is called speleotherapy.

Alas, if there are no salt caves near your home, you are unlikely to be able to use this method of treatment in vivo. But this is not a problem Today, apart from natural caves for the treatment of various diseases, there are already speleocameras( salt rooms) created by artificial means. Such speleocameras are at many resorts throughout Russia.

The walls of the salt rooms are covered with blocks of pressed sea salt enriched with biologically valuable and active substances. Through the pores in the walls of sea salt blocks, special air is pumped through the air, saturating the room with microparticles of sea salt. As a result, a therapeutic marine microclimate is created.

What effect does speleotherapy have on the human body?

Respiratory system: increased pulmonary ventilation;increase in gas exchange;anti-inflammatory action;antiallergic effect;bronchodilator effect.

Central nervous system: normalization of the central nervous system;soothing, analgesic, anti-stress action.

Exchange processes: increased oxidation-reduction processes;stimulation of carbohydrate, protein and water metabolism;enhancing the synthesis of enzymes;decrease in blood sugar.

Circulatory system: lowering blood pressure;improvement of blood microcirculation, increase of hemoglobin content;restoration of acid-base balance.

In addition, speleotherapy is useful to all residents of large cities and often sick people.

Contraindications

for treatment in speleocameras:

• active forms of tuberculosis;

• active phase of rheumatism;

• neoplasms( malignant, benign);

• bleeding and inclinations, epilepsy;

• pregnancy in the 2nd half of the term.

Today, wealthy people can afford to speleoprocedures at home. The Russian Scientific Center for Restorative Medicine has developed a special capsule for installation in an apartment. This capsule can accommodate one adult. And inside the capsule - just imagine!- the climate of the Dead Sea is recreated.

The trouble is, probably, that most of us-people are still not well-off. We are not poor, but much still we can not afford, right? Personally, I can not afford to go for a week or two to the sea caves, I do not have enough money to buy a capsule for a home speleotherapy procedure. .. But you know, it does not bother me at all! If you are just as I am, not too rich, and speleotherapy is not available to you, let's be treated with inhalations of sea salt! And to sea salt in our inhalers, we will add a few medicinal herbs that will help us to be strong, cheerful and healthy.
