There are many unusual places in nature. I would like to talk about one of them, namely the s alt mines. To date, there are conflicting opinions about the benefits and harms of such natural clinics. Let's see what they are and how they affect the human body.
General view
What is a s alt mine? In fact, this is a cave that was formed due to the extraction of rock s alt or natural weathering. Improvement of the body occurs due to the beneficial effects of s alty air on the human body, descended into the mine.
Mines are distinguished by the fact that they maintain a constant air temperature, humidity and pressure. At the same time, the air in the cave has healing properties. It is rich in trace elements and highly ionized. S alt microparticles contained in the air enter the respiratory tract and cleanse the body of harmful bacteria.
History
S alt deposits are located all over the planet, but they are all different in s alt composition and depth of production. So, the s alt mine, the photo of which is presented below, is located in Poland, in the city of Wieliczka, and it is notvery deep. Its depth is from 57 to 198 meters. It is interesting because back in the 15th century, the beneficial effect of s alt on a person was noticed, and excursions for noble persons began to be held there, but only with the permission of the king. This mine was opened to visitors only at the beginning of the 20th century. At the moment it is the most beautiful mine in the world. It is unique for its carved monuments, obelisks, and artistic s alt sculptures.
Fortunately, s alt mines also exist in Russia. One of them is located near Orenburg, in the city of Sol-Iletsk, the second is located in Ufa. Development began in the 16th century, but only by the 20th century did they really turn into mines in the modern sense. Before that, they were kopanki with a small amount of s alt. Currently used for speleotherapy. Now let's discuss what is the benefit of visiting such mines?
Benefits of visiting
You can often hear this advice from doctors: gargle with s alt water. What is achieved by this procedure? A person gets rid of pathogenic viruses. But the effect of s alt on the human body as a whole can be achieved only if a s alt mine is visited. The benefits of this procedure exceed expectations. When inhaled, trace elements and minerals contained in the air enter the bloodstream and have a beneficial effect. Thus, the level of histamine is normalized and protein-carbohydrate metabolism is restored.
Respiratoryorganism's functions. It is especially useful to visit s alt mines for people suffering from bronchial asthma and allergies of various etiologies. The impact on the body is complex, which, in turn, strengthens the human immune system.
Indications for speleotherapy
We figured out that mines have a beneficial effect on the human body. A reasonable question arises: for which diseases is it recommended to visit the s alt mines?
I would like to immediately clarify that their visit is indicated for both adults and children. First of all, bronchitis and bronchial asthma are treated there. Allergies, especially those associated with seasonal irritants, as well as allergic and vasomotor rhinitis, may resolve completely. Frequent colds are also an indication for speleotherapy.
The mine can be visited for other purposes. For example, this is a great opportunity to improve the body or restore strength during the rehabilitation period. For those who want to look young, this is also a great opportunity to make the skin fresh. You can also get rid of depression. It must be borne in mind that once for recovery will not be enough. To achieve a therapeutic effect, a course of speleotherapy from 10 to 24 sessions is required.
Contraindications
Someone may be surprised that not everyone is shown a s alt mine as a therapy. Contraindications to speleotherapy - is this possible? It turns out it's possible. Let's start with the fact that contraindications include all acute stages of diseases, including those that are treated with s alt. Alsoprocedures are contraindicated for tuberculosis, malignant diseases, blood diseases and bleeding. In some cases, in remission, the doctor may offer to undergo a wellness course, but only under his strict supervision.
Some mental illnesses are also a contraindication, such as claustrophobia, increased anxiety or suspiciousness. People with cardiovascular disease, hypertension, kidney disease are not recommended to visit the caves.
Separately, it must be said that children under 3 years of age visiting s alt mines is recommended only under the strict supervision of the attending physician.
Visit Rules
In order for the impact on the body to be effective, you should remember some rules of behavior in the halochamber. First and foremost, children under the age of 7 visit the room accompanied by a parent. The child should behave with restraint: either sit in a chair or quietly play calm games. It is forbidden to run around the room.
Secondly, if you visit a room with a baby under 3 years old, then he should be awake, and not sleeping in your arms. The fact is that during sleep, breathing slows down, and there will be no effect, since s alt ions will not be able to penetrate far into the respiratory system. Be sure to make sure that the child does not rub his eyes with his hands, this can cause severe burns.
It is recommended to be in the speleochamber in clothes made of natural fabric. In many institutions equipped with s altrooms, towels, shoe covers and sheets are provided. Also important is the fact of nutrition before and after visiting the room. You can eat 1 hour before visiting the s alt mine or room. And after taking the session, it is not recommended to eat and drink for half an hour.
Reviews
At the moment, you can hear conflicting opinions from those who have visited the s alt mines. Some did not benefit from treatment, and the reviews are negative. Others, on the contrary, praise the mines and want to visit them regularly.
Today, doctors recommend visiting s alt mines and equipped rooms in order to improve the well-being of both children and adults. The effectiveness of this method of treatment has been proven by time, but it all depends on the severity of the disease. According to pediatricians and parents, in children who regularly suffer from colds, immunity increases. As a result, 95% of small patients stop getting sick too often.
Visiting s alt mines or rooms is a personal decision for everyone, but many factors that can affect human he alth both positively and negatively should be taken into account.
