Hardening and wellness procedures

It is difficult to overestimate the importance of hardening as a proven means of improving health. The basis of all hardening procedures is repeated exposure to heat, cold and sunlight on the human body. During the hardening process, the child gradually gets used to changes in the external environment, the functioning of the body improves, and performance increases. Children react less to sudden changes in weather, so the incidence of illness, especially colds, decreases, and their well-being improves.

Hardening procedures must be carried out correctly. There are clear rules for carrying out all hardening procedures:

    systematicity,

    gradualism,

    individualization,

    versatility.

Only with regular and properly organized hardening can the maximum effect be achieved. Already 2-3 weeks after the cessation of hardening procedures, the achieved level of adaptation noticeably decreases.

You need to start hardening procedures with the simplest - with air baths and wiping with a dry and wet towel. It is necessary to gradually increase the dose of the hardening procedure, starting with the minimum and accessible to your child. During hardening procedures, you must carefully monitor the body's reaction. Only this can bring maximum success. Hardening by cold, sun and heat are its main forms. Cold hardening is carried out using air and water.

One of the most effective forms of hardening, which should be carried out daily, is air hardening. This allows you to improve the supply of oxygen to the tissues and, if you dress in accordance with the weather conditions, without excessive wrapping, it is also a hardening procedure. Every day the child should be in the fresh air for at least 2-3 hours. To enhance the effectiveness of hardening, you need to add constant ventilation of the rooms, and also teach children to sleep with an open vent or window.

Air baths - air hardening is a very useful and effective procedure. It must be carried out naked at a temperature of 15-20°C in a place protected from the wind. The duration of the procedure for children increases gradually from 5-7 minutes to 1.5-2 hours. Cold air baths (5-4°C) are indicated only for already seasoned people and for no more than 1-5 minutes. If a child combines being outdoors with simple gymnastic exercises and the sun, this will only add a hardening effect

One of the most effective means of cold hardening iswater hardening . Water trains our body. At the same time, metabolism increases and all body processes are activated. It is best to harden with water in the morning or afternoon.

There are three types of water hardening:

    rubdown , which is applied as an initial procedure. First, dry rubbing is performed. A piece of clean soft fabric The entire body of the child is wiped until slight redness appears. After 2 weeks you can start wet wiping. It is performed with a wrung out towel, sponge or palm, starting at a water temperature of 32-34°C. Duration of rubbing is 1-2 minutes. After wiping with a damp cloth, you need to wipe the body with a dry towel or sheet and do light massage until the skin becomes slightly red. You must gradually accustom your body to this procedure - first your arms, upper body, legs. The water temperature gradually decreases by several degrees every 4-5 days and reaches 12-16°C. Rubbing is performed in the direction from the fingertips to the shoulder, from the periphery to the center along the blood and lymph;

    dousing (shower) - the initial water temperature is at least 30 ° C, which is gradually lowered to 12-15 ° C. The duration of this procedure is no more than 1.5 minutes. During dousing, water is directed by a stream from a vessel, hose, or palms. The duration of the first procedures is no more than 20-30 seconds, without wetting the head. When the child is used to dousing, you can start using the shower. Showering causes a more active reaction in the body. The initial shower temperature is at least 30°. Gradually it drops to the level of water from a cold tap. A contrast shower, that is, a shower with a change in water temperature, has a special effect on the child’s body. At first, the temperature difference should not exceed 5-8°, gradually it becomes as large as possible (at the same time, hot water should not be more than 39-42°). The duration of stay under water at one temperature is 40-60 seconds, changing the temperature no more than 2-4 times.

    bathing – This a very effective method of hardening. The most useful action Swimming in open water affects the body. Water in a pond combined with exposure to air and sunlight has the most beneficial effect on a child. It is recommended to start swimming. You can start swimming at an air temperature of at least 24-26°C and a water temperature of at least 21°C. The duration for children under 5 years old should not exceed 5-8 minutes, for 6-7 years old - 10-15 minutes. It is necessary to control whether the child has overbought. You need to pay close attention while in the water. If the child turns pale, his lips turn blue, and “ goose pimples", you should immediately stop bathing, wipe him dry, persuade him to run, give him warm tea and change him into dry clothes.

Sun hardening . The sun's rays have a predominantly thermal effect on humans, training the thermoregulation mechanism. At the same time, metabolism improves, hemoglobin content in the blood increases, and protective function skin, which improves the immune system. Under the influence of sunlight, vitamin D is formed in the skin. But positive impact The sun appears only with the correct dosage of tanning. The child should wear a light-colored hat on his head. Children under one year old are not recommended to be naked in an open sunny meadow. The first exposure to the sun should not exceed 4 minutes (one minute each on the back, stomach and both sides). Gradually, every 2-3 days you can add a minute for each body position. But the total duration of sunbathing for children 3-4 years old cannot be more than 12-15 minutes; 5-6 years -20-25 minutes, 7-8 years -20-30 minutes, for older children it should not exceed 1 hour. The best time for sunbathing is in the morning. Contraindications for sunbathing may include: elevated temperature, acute colds. In case of sunburn, it is recommended to wipe the affected areas with cologne, and then apply napkins moistened with a 2% solution of potassium permanganate to them.

Soaring , that is, the use of a steam bath is considered effective way training the body to cope with high temperatures. Bath procedures help the skin to cleanse itself of oil, dirt and sweat. The steam room helps speed up recovery after physical activity and relieves emotional stress. But a long stay in the bathhouse can lead to dehydration. It is not recommended to steam immediately after eating and before bed. It is better to steam in an old felt or woolen sports cap, dampened cold water. Children can steam from the age of 3, but this procedure should be gentle. After the steam room, contrasting water treatments are not recommended for children.

Walking barefoot . Parents should use barefoot walking - a proven folk remedy for promoting health. This needs to be done at home first, and then outdoors You can start walking barefoot on warm spring or summer days. Walking barefoot starts from 10-15 seconds. Gradually its duration increases. This procedure can be continued until autumn frosts.

Massage - the most famous healing procedure that was widely used in ancient times. Massage has a positive effect on the skin, making it more elastic, smooth, increases its blood supply, increases muscle performance, helps them recover faster after physical stress. Joints gain greater mobility and range of motion increases. Massage also affects the nervous system. A short energetic massage excites her, and a long, calm one causes inhibition of the nerve centers and calms her down. Massage is useful for everyone, but it should not be done when inflammatory processes And .

When performing a massage, you need to remember a few rules:

    Hand movements should be soft and not cause pain. For better glide on the skin, you can use talc or baby powder, as well as Vaseline and special cosmetic creams.

    Massage movements are performed along the flow of blood and lymph towards the nearest lymph nodes. It is not recommended to massage the nodes themselves. Their locations are the armpit, groin area, popliteal fossa. Hands are massaged from fingertips to elbow joint, and from it to armpit. The foot massage is carried out from the toes to the knee and from there to the groin. The chest is massaged from the sternum to the side, the stomach clockwise, the face - from the nose in different directions and from the temples down.

Massage usually uses techniques such as stroking, squeezing, rubbing, kneading, shaking, and percussive techniques.

Stroking has a calming effect on the nervous system, improves skin nutrition.

Squeezing already has a more active effect on humans. It improves nutrition of muscles and skin, tones the entire body. After several squeezes, stroking is recommended.

Trituration affects joints and ligaments. It is performed energetically and in different directions. After rubbing, it is advisable to do several strokes.

Kneading This is the main technique in massage, with the help of which not only superficial muscles are massaged, but also deeper ones. It actively increases blood circulation.

Shaking performed after kneading, it helps to better relax the muscle and calm the nervous system.

Striking techniques This is tapping, chopping, patting. They promote blood flow to the massaged area and have a stimulating effect on the nervous system.

Acupressure has become very popular lately. It is based on the effect on biologically active (vital) points. In total, about 700 of them are described, but 150 are used. During acupressure the body's energy balance improves. This type of massage can both calm and excite the nervous system (depending on the method of influence), and improves the nutrition of nervous tissue.

When carrying out allhardening and health treatments Parents must always strictly follow all their rules, taking into account the characteristics of their child. Only in this case can they get the best possible result.

Swimming pool and spa services

“Be healthy!” - we are so accustomed to this greeting that we do not think about its meaning. Every day we wish the people around us health. But not everyone knows how to properly take care of their health, maintain it and increase it. “Healthy lifestyle” - this concept is entering our lives more and more. Leading a healthy lifestyle means being healthy successful person, confident in their abilities.

Currently, many wellness areas have been created, such as fitness, wellness, spa and many others, allowing a person to maintain excellent physical shape. long years. Just imagine that after a hard day at work, filled with various stresses, you find yourself in experienced hands specialists who will professionally approach the elimination of your health problems, take care of relieving work stress, create an individual training program, and give recommendations on proper nutrition. I assure you, with this approach, the result will not take long. Excellent health, mood and appearance are guaranteed to you. You just need to get off the couch and believe that you need a healthy lifestyle, that you are not going to wait for mercy from fate, but will become its active builder. So, let's get to it.

First, let's think about how often do you go to the doctor? Only when you feel unwell? Or, like most of us, in case of emergency, when the disease has already become chronic? We are actively building our careers, planning the future of our children, but we almost always forget that our health also requires serious attention and a systematic approach. Paying attention to your health does not mean “patching holes” from time to time, relieving the symptoms of diseases as they appear. Knowing the weak points of your body, you need to develop an individual, systematic approach to its hardening and healing. To support my case, I would like to tell you an ancient Chinese legend about an emperor who generously paid court doctors as long as his family remained healthy. But as soon as someone fell ill, the doctors faced severe punishment.

Let's take a short excursion into the world of various wellness areas that our health complex is a city resort in Elektrostal, created to help people find spiritual harmony, beauty and health. The specialists of the complex applied in their work the concept of “medical spa”, widely adapted in Europe and not yet very developed in Russia, which comprehensively combines medical developments with the latest trends in the fitness industry.

Let's go through all the medical and fitness areas of our complex. First, let's visit that part of the complex where there is a swimming pool, thermal baths, a hydropathic clinic and various spa rooms. Each of them allows a person to immerse themselves in a world of pleasure. “Pleasure in everything!” - this is the true motto of people who decide to visit our complex in order to achieve life harmony. All departments in this zone have a unique author’s design that best suits their purpose. The combination of motifs from the East, ancient Rome and China, as well as the use of modern technology, gives rise to an amazing fusion, where the experience of centuries turns into the comfort so familiar to our time.

The central room of the pool forms a single ensemble with a thermal bath and sauna area. The depth of the pool varies, allowing adults to relax with children. The pool is filled with warm water (27-29º), which allows you to relieve stress and relax. International class swimming instructors conduct water aerobics sessions here for children and adults. After a serious workout, comfortable sun loungers await you in the relaxation area around the pool. And when evening comes, the overhead lighting in the pool goes out, the internal lighting turns on and a watercolor relaxation session begins, accompanied either by the sound of sea waves, or the cry of seagulls, or the singing of birds. It's like Mother Nature is hugging us warm hands and immerses you in a world of peace and relaxation. But this is in the evening, but for now the thermal baths area awaits us behind a glass partition.

Along the central line of the room there are saunas with different temperature conditions, and behind them are baths. The combination of different colors gives the “huts” a festive look, and on the top floor in the thickets of a tropical garden there is a herbal bar with various herbal infusions, soft drinks and oxygen cocktails. Sitting on comfortable sun loungers, you can have a great rest between visits to the baths, gym and fitness room. To immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the steam room, you first need to decide on your preferences. Namely, to choose from the existing types of baths the variety that is more pleasant in sensations and attractive with medical point view: Russian bath (humidity 65% ​​at a temperature of 90ºС, both temperature and humidity can be adjusted), turkish hammam(100% humidity at a temperature of 30-50ºС), Roman baths (temperature 45-60ºС), an infrared cabin, which allows you to do without steam at all (infrared radiation guarantees effective warming of the body and profuse sweating already at 45ºС), Russian steam bath (humidity can be adjusted from 0 to 100%, temperature up to 60ºС), Japanese bath. You can increase the temperature by moving from gentle baths to hotter ones, or you can stay in one bath that is most suitable for you.

RUSSIAN STEAM BATH

At first glance, everything is like in an ordinary Russian bathhouse, only the room is lined ceramic tiles, instead of sun loungers there is a marble table, pleasant warmth. The smell of cedar, from which the ceiling in the bathhouse is made, immerses you in an atmosphere of peace and harmony with nature. A visit to this bathhouse will allow you to enjoy various procedures: massage with a broom, herbal masks, contrasting douches. The nature of the heating is interesting - the walls, floor and lounger are heated to a temperature of 45-50˚C - from them there is an even, soft radiant flow of heat, uniform on all sides. Sweating begins within a few minutes already at a temperature of about 50 degrees. Outwardly it resembles a Turkish hammam, but the air is dry, light, and you can breathe with pleasure. After a good warm-up, you can begin the procedure with brooms. Electric heaters allow you to instantly create the desired temperature, just like in a good Russian bath. The Russian steam bath includes all the advantages of other types of baths, but is devoid of their disadvantages. The main feature of this bath is the “soft” heating mode with air temperature from 30 to 60 degrees and humidity from 10 to 100%. A very important point is uniform heating on all sides. Everyone knows that uneven heating of different parts of the body creates an unfavorable “draft” effect. Deep heating in combination with massage with a broom gives very high healing effect. In general, only beginners believe that they go to the bathhouse to wash; experienced steamers believe that the bathhouse is, first of all, a ritual. There are no trifles here, everything is important from the thermometer to the gang. In a Russian steam bath, a person does not just sit or lie. Give steam, let off steam, relax, steam with a broom, dry - this is an incomplete list of actions that a person performs in a steam room. You need to know and be able to do everything. Therefore, it is appropriate to give the initiative to an experienced bathhouse attendant, who will familiarize you with the steaming procedure and also help you obtain the maximum healing effect. Weekly thermal procedures in a Russian steam bath open the skin's breathing, increase the body's immunity to various infectious diseases, have a beneficial effect on the respiratory system, lower blood pressure, improve metabolism and stabilize blood circulation. A general rejuvenation of the body occurs - salt deposits are dissolved and removed from the body, the flexibility of the spine and joints increases, exercise vascular system and cholesterol deposits in them dissolve, manifestations of diseases such as arthritis, cholecystitis, prostatitis, sinusitis, chronic tonsillitis, and many others disappear. A few days after visiting the bathhouse, there is an increase in the oxidative processes of skin respiration, as well as an increase in metabolic processes.

TURKISH BATH HAMMAM

Ahead is the eastern zone, where a hammam and Turkish bath await us. Noble marble and mosaics of various colors make this bathhouse simply irresistible. This sauna is suitable for lovers of soft warmth, calm, relaxing comfort and moist air. Among women, the hammam has gained the greatest popularity, since its warm and moist steam has a beneficial effect on any skin type, without drying or irritating it. In the hammam, rapid deep heating and intense fat burning occur. Probably those who want to lose weight need to pay attention to this. A visit to the hammam is recommended for colds, muscle pain, and stress. It was noted that general hardening of the body occurs, breathing improves and general relaxation occurs. High humidity (up to 100%) combined with gentle air temperature up to 55°C creates ideal conditions for skin self-regeneration. This unique climate is achieved with the help of special equipment - a steam generator, which is used to generate steam. Of course, vaping gives a lot to the soul and body. Warming procedures have always been highly valued among all peoples.

ROMAN THERMS

Now we go to the Roman Baths. Nowhere did the bath industry become as widespread as in Ancient Rome. The favorite saying of Roman healers of that time was: “In the baths there is healing!” People believed so much in the healing power of the bath that they often preferred it to doctors and medicines. For the ancients, the bathhouse was a way to have a good time with friends, a way to improve health and escape from everyday worries. But, let's return to our complex. In the center of the Roman bath there is a special stove, on which herbs are laid out: chamomile, mint, eucalyptus, sandalwood, etc. When the light in the sauna is dimmed, water begins to drip from a special bowl located above the center of the stove circle. Water, falling on a hot stove, forms steam, which, passing through the herbs, causes them to release all the beneficial essential oils and fragrant aromas. East style, chosen for this bath, is combined with such European Gothic elements as a domed vault with emphasized edges. The seats are made of marble slabs. The thermal bath maintains a relatively low temperature: about 55-60ºС with a humidity of 15%. This bathhouse is good for those who are contraindicated or simply don’t like it. high temperatures. Here, a gentle warming of the body is achieved, promoting detoxification.

RUSSIAN BATH cedar

Now let's go to the Russian bathhouse. A unique phenomenon, called the Russian bath, occupies a special place among other types of baths. Much attention was paid here to the quality of steam. Air humidity in a Russian bath is about 60%. Air temperature - 55-70ºС. The thermal conductivity of humid air is much higher than dry air, so in a Russian bath deep heating is achieved in less harsh conditions. In a Russian bath, steam is “made”, i.e. they remove it from the heater by throwing water on the stones in the stove. The higher the temperature of the stones, the deeper the water dissociates, the smaller the steam particles, the drier and hotter the steam at the same time. The word “drier” here is understood as a pleasant feeling of warm, but not burning, inhaled air - light steam. There are dozens of other very useful and pleasant smells: the fragrance of flowers, herbs and trees is most often explained by the presence of essential oils in plants. These substances with powerful healing effects will help us improve our mental or physical health. Thanks to aromatherapy using these substances, we can find vigor and good mood. If you add aromatherapy to the bath, the effect will increase many times over. The spectrum of effects of essential oils is wide and diverse, but, above all, their antiseptic properties and ability to maintain peace of mind and physical fitness. When you take essential oils to a bath, the most important thing is to never drip them onto hot stones. You cannot add oil to water to create steam. It is best to pour a little boiling water into a cup or saucer, add a few drops of oil and place it in the corner of the steam room. Slow evaporation of the aroma creates the most desired effect. You can spray the aroma on the walls of the steam room, but then it will be difficult to replace it with another. We hope that after our recommendations it will be easier for you to decide which bathhouse to choose.

COLD SHOWERS, BATHES, POOLS

And now we are in the cold shower zone. After a hot steam bath, a whole bucket of cold water is poured onto the steamer’s head. Everything looks very attractive. Instead of a shower head, the cabin is equipped with a wooden bucket with cold water. The visitor pulls on a nice rope and... water pours out on his head. The effect is amazing!

Perhaps no remedy will give the same effect as this unique effect of heat and cold. During such procedures, it is as if all harmful substances are burned in a furnace. In addition, this is an excellent gymnastics for the heart, blood vessels, skin, muscles, tendons...

Behind the baths area there are baths with contrasting water, which are ideal for strengthening the body's immunity.

INFRARED CABIN (SAUNA)

Now let's move to the second floor, where the infrared cabin is located. Let's add a little imagination: the sea, evening... You are lying on huge stones heated during the day. Time seemed to stand still, the sun was setting. The heat from the stones pleasantly warms the body. It’s as if you are immersed in an inexplicable bliss when you don’t want to move or talk. In our sauna area you experience similar bliss while sitting in an infrared cabin. The sensations are very similar: only peace and only bliss.

Infrared cabins are called the last miracle of the 20th century, which he gave to the century that had just begun. What is the secret of their popularity? The whole secret is in specially designed infrared emitters installed inside the cabin in such a way as to completely warm up the human body. Infrared waves are emitted by any warm object, including the human body, and are absolutely safe for the body. Thermal radiation in cabin installations corresponds to a narrow spectrum of infrared wavelengths, often called life rays. Penetrating under the skin, infrared waves with a length of 3 to 6 microns warm up tissues, organs, muscles, bones and joints, and accelerate the flow of blood and other body fluids. In the first 10-20 minutes. Outwardly nothing happens to the person. All visible effects appear in the last 10-15 minutes. session when profuse sweating begins. At the same time, there is no heat: the temperature in the cabin does not exceed 40-60ºС. This procedure is aimed at maximum cleansing of the body, helps to increase immunity and resistance to stress. It's no secret that, along with sweat, harmful substances are removed from the human body and the body cleanses itself. During the session, blood circulation increases. The skin pores expand and dead cells are removed from the outer layer of the skin. The skin becomes smooth and elastic. By increasing blood circulation, an active flow of oxygen is ensured to various bodies, which stimulates their activity.

A visit to the infrared cabin is of particular value for expectant mothers. During pregnancy, the mother's excretory organs bear a double burden, for themselves and for the baby. During the session, significant cleansing of the body occurs through the skin through sweating, which allows you to relieve the kidneys and give them rest. Relatively low temperatures in the cabin make it possible not to overload the circulatory system, but to the expectant mother Before visiting the infrared cabin, you should consult your doctor, especially in the first trimester.

Experts have noted that regular visits to the infrared cabin leads to increased immunity (resistance to infections). It is not the frequency of sessions that is important, but their regularity. A 30-minute session per day is considered optimal for a healthy person. During intense sports activities, a visit to the infrared cabin allows you to remove lactic acid accumulated in the muscles from the body. After visiting the infrared cabin, cholesterol levels in the blood decrease, which reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases and stabilizes blood pressure. The walls of blood vessels become stronger and more elastic. Infrared radiation helps treat chronic diseases of the ear, nose and throat, relieves pain in joints, muscles, back, menstrual pain and headaches, leads to accelerated healing wounds, bruises, injuries, fractures, resorption of hematomas. Comfortable warmth calms the nervous system, eliminating insomnia and stress. In one session, approximately the same number of calories are lost as during a 10-kilometer run. Therefore, the combination of the cabin with diets allows you to successfully lose weight and effectively fight cellulite, breaking down its subcutaneous deposits, consisting of water, fat and toxins. Regular visits to the infrared cabin can cure a number of skin diseases - dermatitis, eczema, acne, dandruff, and according to some reports, psoriasis. In this way, the body is provided with comprehensive disease prevention and overall health improvement. Despite the deep warming, you should not take contrasting water treatments after the session. It is enough to limit yourself to a warm shower to wash off the sweat. To compensate for the loss of moisture, after the session you need to drink tea (preferably green) or mineral water. The main advantage of this type of bathhouse is that both older people and children can visit it.

BALNEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT

Now we are in the balneological department. The healing and healing properties of water have been known since ancient times. Let us recall that showers are hydrotherapy procedures during which the body is exposed to water in the form of a jet or several jets of a certain temperature and pressure. In Russian physiotherapy, a water-jet shower is usually called after the famous French doctor - Jean Martin Charcot. Sharko's shower- This is a shock-type procedure of a powerful tonic massage. In this case, hydromassage is performed using a directed stream of water under pressure of up to 6 atmospheres. This procedure is used to treat cellulite and diseases internal organs, skin tightening, strengthening blood vessels and the immune system, for relaxation and stress relief. This massage is recommended not only for sick people, but also for healthy people as an excellent preventative measure. This is a good remedy for improving blood circulation, treating respiratory tract and relieving tension from the spine. Charcot's shower is used to strengthen the abdominal muscles. It starts from the feet and massages the entire body with a stream of water.

A type of hydromassage is Vichy shower. The therapeutic effect of its use is similar to the effect of Charcot's shower. Vichy shower improves blood circulation and work lymphatic system. It is a hydromassage table, above which six adjustable nozzles are mounted. Water is supplied through them different temperatures and under different pressure to all areas of the body.

An excellent healing effect is achieved as a result of taking therapeutic hydromassage baths. They differ from household baths in their greater technical capabilities and the presence of special treatment programs. The water pressure and temperature change, you can provide hydromassage to specific areas. Weak legs and back are massaged, weight is corrected, skin is tightened, etc. You can add aromatic oils and extracts to the water seaweed, salts and other medicinal preparations. The hot tub was invented in 1936 in Berlin. It has been observed that patients with severe injuries recover much faster if they take water treatments. Puffiness is eliminated and sleep is normalized. The flow of oxygen to cells increases. The skin begins to breathe more actively. Since then, hydromassage has firmly entered the life of modern man. Why do you need hydromassage?

And a few more words about the POOL. The length of the paths of the main pool is 25 meters, the water is not chlorinated, it is purified by ionization with silver and copper ions.

Scientists believe that the disinfecting effect occurs when positively charged silver and copper ions form electrostatic bonds with the negatively charged surface of microorganism cells. Penetrating into cells, silver and copper ions interact with amino acids, which are part of proteins and are used in the process of photosynthesis. As a result, the process of converting solar radiation into food and energy for microorganisms is disrupted, which leads to their death. How does pool water ionize? The purified water passes through a special processing chamber containing silver and copper alloy electrodes. They are supplied with a constant low voltage with a specific current strength. As a result, silver and copper ions are formed. This means that swimming pool activities are suitable even for the youngest children.

In this regard, we are starting to register for classes for children with parents according to the program “Swimming is before walking”: swimming, diving and hardening for children from 0 to 12 months. Individual classes are conducted in a private bath under the guidance of a pediatrician.

By the way, for children from 0 to 14 years old we conduct:

Ultrasound diagnostics for children from 0 to 14 years old,

Neurosonography,

Ultrasound of the scrotum,

Ultrasound abdominal cavity(possibly with subsequent consultation),

Ultrasound of the thyroid gland,

Reception of children and consultations with treatment prescription,

Water, as you know, is the basis of life and, moreover, one of the cheapest methods of treating many diseases.

The healing properties of water are mentioned in Sanskrit texts dating back to 4000 BC. Hippocrates was firmly convinced that solar energy contained in water was the basis of good health. By adopting the tips given in this chapter, you can improve your health, lift your mood, make your skin firmer and more elastic, and therefore maintain youth.

Hydrotherapy according to the method of S. Kneipp

The founder of hydrotherapy (hydrotherapy) is considered to be Pastor Sebastian Kneipp (1821 1897), a famous German doctor. He turned hydrotherapy, used by ancient healers, into a system of training and hardening the body. Whatever the state of your health, in the S. Kneipp health system you can always find recommendations that will help you. The type of water procedure, its intensity and duration are determined depending on your well-being and the characteristics of the disease (if you suffer from something). The most important hydrotherapy procedures according to the S. Kneipp method are quite suitable for carrying out at home. With their help, you can effectively relieve minor ailments and combat chronic disorders basic body functions and diseases. To transform your bathroom into a “health center according to S. Kneipp”, a minimum of effort and money is required.

  • general and partial dousing;
  • baths;
  • steam baths and inhalation;
  • wrappings, wraps and compresses;
  • applying ice;
  • walking barefoot on water.

Warm water always calms, muscles relax, pain subsides. In warmth, blood vessels dilate, which improves blood circulation, increases the body's ability to heal itself and, thanks to increased blood flow, accelerates the elimination of toxins.

Cold water can have both stimulating and calming effects. Initially, the skin temperature drops due to the narrowing of superficial blood vessels, which, accordingly, increases blood flow to the vessels located deeper. After the cold water stops contacting the skin, the vessels dilate again and the blood flow rushes back.

Alternating exposure to hot and cold water stimulates blood circulation. Alternate narrowing and dilation of blood vessels causes blood to circulate faster in “problem” areas of the body. Hydrotherapy using ice can significantly reduce pain because ice reduces the ability of nerves to transmit pain impulses. For acute respiratory diseases, cough, and pneumonia, inhalation and steam treatment help well. Steam helps reduce swollen mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract and cleanse them. Many women use hot compresses to relieve menstrual cramps and muscle pain. It is very useful to walk barefoot in the dew: in this case, the earth transfers its vitality to the cells of your body.

Each type of hydrotherapy exposure to water, ice, steam, hot towel wrap, different souls etc. causes one or another physiological reaction. Therefore, the choice of a specific procedure depends on your needs and health status.

To obtain the desired effect, water procedures should be carried out regularly and correctly; any intemperance can lead to undesirable consequences, especially if you do not take into account contraindications for use.

It’s unlikely that you look at your bathtub and think, “Here is the equipment for beauty and health care at home.” But in fact, it is precisely such equipment: with the help of baths you can treat many ailments skin irritation, insomnia, muscle spasms, congestion, etc. As a rule, in medicinal purposes baths of three temperature ranges are used: cold (13 24°C), neutral (33 36°C) and hot (41 43°C). We advise you to buy a thermometer to measure water temperature. Please read the following guidelines before diving into the water.

First of all, the bathroom must have good ventilation. Unfortunately, ventilation in panel houses leaves much to be desired. Staying for about an hour in the stuffy space of a standard-sized bathroom is deadly, because instead of vigor and cleansing, you will get an attack of suffocation and fatigue. So first, decide the issue of ventilation: you can install a hood or simply call the house management (depending on the house, its technical condition and the conscientiousness of the utility workers).

A bath can be relaxing and invigorating. In the morning, a cool bath invigorates, and in the evening, a warm bath soothes.

Cold bath (with a water temperature of 18°C) primarily has a stimulating effect, tones the body, improves blood circulation and digestion. The time spent in such a bath is from 30 seconds to two minutes. But this invigorating procedure is not for everyone: do not take cold baths without first consulting your doctor if you are sick, feel weak, suffer from heart disease, have upset digestion or high blood pressure.

You can enjoy this method of healing in a city apartment or private house. Warm your body in a hot shower for ten minutes, hot bath. Complete medical procedure a refreshing cold shower or cold water pool (if available). Following the feeling of chills, a very pleasant feeling of comfort will appear. After leaving the cold bath, rub yourself vigorously with a towel.

Cold baths according to the S. Kneipp method are recommended for influencing sympathetic division the autonomic nervous system, to thin the blood and increase blood sugar levels, as well as to influence intestinal motility. They are also indicated for neuroses accompanied by apathy, loss of appetite, neurasthenia, as well as for hardening the body. If you take cold baths systematically, it will increase your performance, give you vigor, improve your mood, increase heart rate, and increase hemoglobin. The duration of the cold bath is no more than 6-30 seconds (for “beginners”).

Long-term hot bath time-tested way to make it easier painful contraction muscles or just relax when you're overstimulated. The water temperature should be between 41 and 43°C, or as much as you can tolerate. To prevent blood from rushing to your head, wrap your head with a damp towel. Time spent in the bath is up to 20 minutes. As it cools, add hot water the temperature must be constant. After your bath, take a cold shower.

Neutral baths with water temperatures from 33 to 36°C are called the mildest natural tranquilizers. This is an excellent way to combat insomnia. Fill the bathtub and immerse yourself in it; your body should be in the water up to your neck. Dim the lights (you can light scented candles), make sure the room is quiet, and place your head on a towel or a special pillow.

Slightly warm bath used when you need to relieve skin irritation: to do this, add 2 cups of fine oatmeal to the water. Other additives also have a good effect, for example, 1 2 drops of juniper oil. You can also add 1 2 tablespoons of baking soda into the bath this is very good for the skin or 0.5-1 glass Epsom salts so that the muscles strained during training stop hurting. The procedure time is no more than 10 20 minutes. After the bath, douse yourself with cool or cold water and lie in bed for about an hour, cover yourself with a blanket. Peace and warmth will enhance the effects of the bath.

Using aromatic substances will make bathing healthier and more enjoyable. You can add them to water, sprinkle them, or keep them in a separate container.

You can use both raw and dried plant materials, as well as all kinds of extracts, essences, aromatic oils, a few drops of which will be enough to achieve the desired effect.

  • Camphor, cedar, all pine scents, eucalyptus, thyme have an anti-inflammatory and warming effect.
  • Lavender, lemon balm, basil, chamomile, sandalwood, and jasmine are suitable for calm and relaxation.
  • Melissa and mint help with headaches.
  • Adding medicinal salts to the water will make your bath invigorating. In addition, salt softens hard tap water.

Aromatic salts and oils will make the bathing procedure pleasant and effective and help stabilize psychological condition and relieve pain, calm, or, conversely, invigorate.

Baths have a pronounced cosmetic effect if you add skin care substances to the water. For example, milk and honey (necessarily natural). And if you add a spoonful of brewed bran or strained bran decoction, or oatmeal, the skin will become velvety and silky. The only warning: do not overuse honey for varicose veins.

For oily skin baths with the addition of oils, juices or decoctions of lemon, fir, juniper, mint and lemon balm are good. Rose and myrtle will increase skin turgor.

Cellulite “afraid” of citrus fruits (especially grapefruit), conifers (juniper and fir), and rosemary. The oils of these plants can be added to the bath in various combinations to suit the smell. By the way, sensations based on the principle of like and dislike are essential in aromatherapy. The smell that we don’t like most often not only does not bring benefits, but can also cause harm. Don't neglect this rule.

Water not only heals, but also makes you beautiful!

There are two well-known baths described in all publications devoted to beauty: Cleopatra’s bath and Aphrodite’s bath. The first, as is commonly believed, gives youth, the second will make the night of love unforgettable.

Bath of Cleopatra requires preliminary preparation. First, rub the body with a mixture of salt and heavy fresh cream. After 10 × 15 minutes, the mixture should be washed off (without using soap). After this, you can take a bath by dissolving 2 liters of milk and 0.5 cups of honey in it.

Bath of Aphrodite. Add a mixture of aromatic oils to the bath: 3 drops each of ylang-ylang and rosewood oil and 2 drops of sandalwood and musk. True, natural musk is quite expensive, but the result is worth it.

Try to make sure that taking a bath brings you maximum relaxation and pleasure, then nothing will make your beauty fade.

Contrast procedures in the bath are more gentle than diving into an ice hole or rubbing with snow.

But the most important property baths active help in the fight against stress.

Let us remind you once again that changing temperature regimes: hot bath cold shower is extremely useful, especially for those who suffer low blood pressure, and is also a good remedy for depression.

If headaches are bothering you, immerse your hands in hot water just above the elbows (10 minutes is enough). Then dry your hands with a towel and put on a warm sweater. Foot baths will help with fatigue.

Mud and thermal baths, hydromassage baths, aromatic baths — All these water procedures are based on the property of water to penetrate the skin and cell membranes along with a medicinal or strengthening substance dissolved in it.

Wellness water treatments are not limited to just taking a bath. Pouring and rubbing, as well as compresses, have a general strengthening and tonic effect on the body, not to mention the fact that these methods have long been used in traditional and alternative medicine for the treatment of various diseases.

Pouring cold water is well described in system of Porfiry Ivanov. Although traditional medicine considers some provisions of this system controversial, the influence of water flow on blood circulation is undoubtedly. You should not use Ivanov’s method as a cure for all diseases, but it has been scientifically proven that dousing with cold water intensifies metabolism, stimulates and stabilizes blood circulation.

Pouring help with low blood pressure and at the same time they do not provide harmful influence for women suffering hypertension. Cold douches stimulate the body's defenses and promote strengthening the immune system.

Perceptible positive result Douses are also given for various skin lesions - diathesis, neurodermatitis and even psoriasis. The mechanism of their influence is not fully understood, but side effects also not identified (with a reasonable approach).

Contrasting souls have the same effect. However, if you have varicose veins, this procedure should be approached with caution. If the disease is initial stage, you can restore the elasticity of blood vessels, but if, as they say, the process has gone far, a contrast shower can be harmful.

Cold douches and contrast showers activate the body's defense reactions, which require significant energy expenditure. The result is natural weight loss.

Sharko's shower is also a very beneficial procedure for health. It has a massage effect and helps prepare subcutaneous fat for other procedures aimed at weight loss. With the help of Charcot's shower, you can not only “say goodbye” to the hated cellulite, but also model seductive body contours and make your figure more “fit.” Treatment with Charcot's shower can be done in special institutions: sanatoriums, physiotherapy departments of clinics and some beauty salons.

Recent medical developments offer a wide variety of showers with different effects. It's up to you to decide whether to limit yourself to a regular shower or prefer a thermal one. There are several types of showers with a massage effect, ranging from a jacuzzi to a circular and ascending shower, which are used for medicinal purposes.

Hydromassage widely used in patients with damage to the musculoskeletal system. The relaxing and tonic effect on muscles obtained using directed jets of water (especially sea water) in combination with manual massage can improve the functioning of muscles and joints. In such cases, gymnastics is used in pools with sea ​​water(“lighter” version of water aerobics).

No less beneficial properties have wraps And compresses.

These types of effects on the body are also based on thermal effects or on the absorption of medicinal substances by the skin. In addition, during these procedures the skin itself is nourished and absorbs the effects. various substances much better. It is well known that creams, lotions, ointments and various masks penetrate better into damp skin.

With cold or, conversely, hot wraps, blood supply and metabolic processes improve, which promotes renewal and rejuvenation.
