General
To achieve good results in correcting the body problems, the injection and hardware methods, as a rule, have to be supplemented with Spa procedures. According to the modern concept, Spa is a complex of procedures aimed at general health improvement, prophylaxis and recovery of the body physical strength and state of mind, on the one hand, and prophylaxis and correction of various defects of the face and body skin, such as skin withering, seborrhea of the face and scalp, cellulites (lipodystrophy), on the other hand. Most of the Spa procedures (different types of shower, therapeutic mud pack, wrapping with clay, algae, salts, stone therapy) are based on using water and its derivatives, marine algae and mud. The effects of minerals and trace elements present in them on the body integrally consist in enhancement of metabolic processes, i.e. stimulating action, which allows their usage in prophylaxis and treatment for:
The Spa therapy facilitates the normalization of hemodynamics and psycho-somatic status on the whole in disorders of the cardiovascular system. General effects of minerals and trace elements on the skin consist in stimulation of the metabolic processes in it, which is manifested as a dermo-protective effect (lifting and strengthening of the skin, recovery of its tonus and elasticity). In the combination with appropriate cosmetic means, they have such directional effects, as sebo-regulatory, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulating, revitalizing, and anti-cellulitic. Another version of the combined influence on the body is represented by stone-therapy. This procedure consists in alternating exposure to hot and cold stones of special volcanic rock. Here are used other properties of minerals: their capability to accumulate and then discharge thermal energy. The effect of this procedure is achieved through physical and chemical factors in a combination with the reflexogenic massage activating acupuncture points. The stone-therapy improves local circulation, enhances tissue supply with oxygen and active biological substances, and intensifies the metabolic processes. It also facilitates activation of lymph drainage and influences favorably on the hemodynamics on the whole, ensuring both general and local effects as the patient’s problems may be. |
