Hypoxytherapy. What is it the mountain air treatment, indications, contraindications, equipment. Reviews

hypoxic treatment is often carried out in the highlands. Natural air has healing properties, gives people new power and strengthens all parts of the body.

A few weeks spent in the mountains are considered to be very valuable to the body. However, not everyone can afford such a vacation. For these purposes, therapy was introduced by which the human body medical gas mixture flows.

Hypoxytherapy: what it is, the basic principles of methodology

Medicinal properties of the mountainous area known for centuries. This effect is explained by the low content of oxygen in the air. However, the stay at an altitude of more than 5 thousand. km. a significant impact on the human condition, with the result that there is an intolerance of hypoxia. As a result, many being in the mountains, does not feel comfortable.

In XX century, it has been proven that a small degree of hypoxia in the human body is the normal stateThat does not bring serious violations. Conversely, hypoxia can activate stale processes and resume their function.

This feature of the human body is due to adaptation to survival in extreme conditions. Ability lies at the genetic level, as used in the prenatal development of the child.

Until recently, it was available only gipoksitepariya resting in a mountainous area. Many owners of resorts specially built their toast in the mountainous areas in order to attract tourists not only beautiful scenery, but also medical procedures.

Eventually balneologia began to explore the possibility to avoid a long stay in the mountains, as well as possible acclimatization, by introducing plants for mountain air.

A method was investigated for the first time Aghajanian and R. B. Shooters in the late XX century. They conducted a series of tests that have helped shape treatment procedure mountain air.

Hypoxytherapy (treatment mountain air) includes a method of physical therapy, which is based on the use of a gas mixture with low oxygen content. This technique helps to improve human health, functionality and performance of organs.

For its use of a variety of devices:

Operating principle	Feature
Rerespiratsiya (partial re-inhale exhaled breath)	During the procedure, the amount of inhaled oxygen is reduced. In order to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide and a valve unit equipped with container with alkali. A disadvantage of such apparatus is that they can not control the concentration of oxygen.
generator type	Based on the development of clean gas mixture. The required proportion prescribed by the doctor for each patient individually. Such devices are equipped with multiple modes have a timer and programming elements.

In modern medicine hypoxytherapy is widely used to combat various diseases.

The concept of "hypoxia" is translated as "lack of oxygen". That is why the essence of the procedure is the treatment by reducing the supply of oxygen.

Man breathes through a special mask, transmissive artificially altered air. The amount of oxygen is significantly reduced, but atmospheric pressure remains at the conventional level.

Thus, a person inhales the mountain air, while in normal conditions. The positive effect is secured by the fact that the light behaves as normal air, or modified.

Treatment efficacy mountain air

Hypoxytherapy - mountain air treatment, the effectiveness of which due to the occurrence of short-term hypoxia along with restoration of normal breathing.

Striping allows the amount of oxygen fed to normalize such processes in the body:

• activated tracheobronchial patency, thereby facilitates the sputum out. Accordingly faster tested inflammatory processes in the lung;
• improved alveolar ventilation and blood circulation;
• normal blood pressure;
• lack of oxygen activates antioxidant processes, thereby reducing the likelihood of premature aging of the organism;
• improved blood flow in the body. Tissues and organs produced normal amount of oxygen, the capillaries open, thereby no blood stagnates and forms a thrombus;
• strengthens the immune system, there is resistance to different species of bacteria and infections;
• reduced manifestation of allergic reactions;
• strengthen the musculoskeletal system, the person becomes more resilient;
• there is resistance to various intoxications;
• improved sleep, anxiety and extends fatigue. Procedures are carried out to deal with stressful situations, in case of apathy and poor health;
• patients reported an improvement of memory and thinking.
  advantages of the method

Hypoxytherapy (treatment mountain air) has a number of positive effect on the body as a whole:

• improving pulmonary ventilation;
• accelerates blood circulation;
• normal metabolism in cells and organs;
• breathing becomes more deep and smooth;
• actively out phlegm, which in turn clogs the bronchi and leads to inflammation.

In terms of therapy, the procedure performs the following functions:

• increases the ability of the tissue contain a oxygen;
• improves oxygen redundancy in the tissues;
• a positive effect on the heart muscle;
• It helps people with asthma to restore proper breathing and relieve seizures;
• improves skin tone and efficiency of the organism.

The procedure can treat and prevent these diseases:

• bronchial asthma;
• bronchitis;
• hypertension;
• tachycardia;
• coronary artery disease;
• hypertension;
• ulcer formation in the stomach;
• intestinal disorders;
• gastritis;
• constipation and diarrhea;
• diabetes;
• depression, sleep disturbances, apathy.

Widely used hypoxytherapy while carrying a child. The regular holding of procedures before delivery improve the development and health of your baby. Therapy based on work with light is important for industrial workers and residents of polluted cities. Daily people inhale the vapors, which do not depart from the lungs, where they accumulate over the years.

As a result, there is a risk of cancer, chronic bronchitis and asthma. For this it is necessary to pass hypoxic which allows excrete harmful substances as well as increases resistance to adverse environmental conditions.

disadvantages

Hypoxytherapy conducted within the walls of medical institutions, is markedly different from the human being in the real conditions in the mountains. Treatment mountain air has several disadvantages, including a low atmospheric pressure. Because of this, people need time to acclimatize, and not suitable in some cases climate.

The sharp change in climatic conditions is stressful to the body. Sudden pressure drop reduces the body's ability to accept oxygen deficiency. As a result of mountain therapy may harm rather than benefit.

Most loyal method is to create hypoxia in normal conditions of atmospheric pressure.

Indications procedure

Hypoxytherapy (mountain air treatment) is administered for the prevention and treatment of such diseases:

• coronary heart disease, rehabilitation after a heart attack, angina, as well as strengthening the blood vessels;
• diabetes, obesity running step, thyrotoxicosis and other endocrine abnormalities;
• Pathology of the respiratory system, such as: asthma, bronchitis, pleurisy, pneumonia;
• deviations in the reproductive system, ovarian inflammation, menopause, irregular menstrual cycle;
• psychological disorders, neurosis, asthenic syndrome;
• for the treatment of alcoholism and drug addiction;
• chronic leukemia;
• anemia;
• dystonia;
• different types of allergic reactions;
• viral infections. The regular passage of hypoxic therapy reduces the risk of catching the flu and SARS 4 times;
• for recovery operations and to prepare for them. This method reduces the risk of complications and improves the body's resistance to various stimuli;
• use during pregnancy to prevent morning sickness, it provides an easy delivery and strengthens the health of the fetus;
• It used to restore proper metabolism, which is important in obesity;
• desynchronosis violation that occurs on a background of frequent change of time zones, mainly arises as a result of travel;
• used for recovery of athletes after injuries and competition.

The procedure allows to restore physical strength, improve performance and endurance. Hypoxytherapy widely used in pilots, military, divers, climbers, firefighters and visitors.

Contraindications

As with any procedure, hypoxytherapy has a number of contraindications, which can harm the person in the case of non-compliance:

• infectious diseases in the acute stage;
• oncological diseases;
• certain blood disorders;
• congenital abnormalities in the nervous system;
• hypertension in step 3;
• first trimester of pregnancy;
• renal failure;
• idiosyncrasy lack of oxygen;
• epilepsy;
• abnormal cardiac condition;
• Pathology infarction and heart disease.

Apparatus for hypoxic

As the apparatus used is used apparatuses aimed at obtaining a low air oxygen content.

The following types:

• using the principle of rebreathing. Exhalation air flows in a closed vessel and immediately inhaled back. This technique is used only for personal use;
• using membrane technology fission gas;
• applying replacement of oxygen with nitrogen.

After 2 type of devices used for group procedures. Examples of "Everest", "hIL-10" and "hIL-11", "ksat".

Mixture for the procedure

For the treatment of used air mixture from nitrogen, oxygen. The second component is 12% of the total composition, all else - is nitrogen. Low oxygen levels creates conditions identical to mountain terrain.

As a result, the patient is receiving the maximum therapeutic effect. Temperature of the mixture not exceeding 24 ° C. On the device, a pressure of 1000 hPa, which feeds the mixture.

The methodology of the procedure

Before starting the specialist should spend hypoxic test, in order to determine a person's response to a sharp decline in oxygen. Also measured heart rate, breathing and blood pressure.

Hypoxytherapy carried out in this manner:

1. Apparatus for preparing pre-treatments and mixture thereof.
2. A man sits in a chair.
3. On the patient's head wearing a mask through which a gas mixture.
4. Man breathes, and this air is filled with the mask. Absorber through special air passes and the result is a therapeutic mixture with low oxygen content.
5. Man is masked from 1 to 5 minutes, the time depends on the fullness of the bag with oxygen. During this time he inhales and exhales air from the machine.
6. The mask is removed and the patient is breathing normal air for 3-5 minutes. At this time the machine is again filled with a gas mixture.
7. Depending on the indications for the procedure, cycles may be repeated 1 to 10 times.

One procedure has a duration of up to 1 hour.

As a preventive measure

The procedure is shown:

• completely healthy people to improve physical endurance and performance;
• for the prevention of depression, fatigue and emotional stress;
• during fetal gestation to prevent the development of pathologies.

For the prevention of appointed course of 15-20 treatments to 30 minutes each. Hypoxytherapy performed daily using a mixture of air, which consists of a large amount of nitrogen. The apparatus delivers air at a rate 0,69-0,73 m3 / h, its patient inhales using a special mask.

for treatment

This method is used as a separate treatment or in combination with other drugs. Number of treatments and treatment strategy is assigned a specialist depending on the disease and its severity. It can be used from 5 to 30 procedures that are carried out every day or every other day.

rehabilitation

The rehabilitation period appointed regular procedures aimed at restoring body functions.

Used for such purposes:

• for recovery after myocardial infarction;
• cerebrovascular accident;
• after surgery;
• after chemotherapy;
• to recover from radiation exposure. Thus restored necessary processes in the body;
• for rehabilitation after pathologies of the bronchi and lungs;
• to restore hormone levels and their work;
• to maintain sexual function;
• to exit slag and harmful substances from the body;
• normalization of metabolism;
• for the maintenance of healthy skin, hair and nails;
• to recover after suffering heart disease.
  How often should I do the procedure

Depending on the procedure, purposes, they are administered on a daily conduct within a specified time or every other day.

How many sessions are required

Ideally, treatment should consist of 12-23 procedures. The number of transactions varies based on the objectives pursued, and appointed individually by the physician after the examination.

During hypoxic people should not feel dyspnea and other discomfort. Proper conduct of procedure, must fill the patient's strength and vitality.

Often breath "mountain air" is used as an adjunct to medical treatment, but can also be used independently as a therapeutic and preventive measures. Recommend repeat treatment several times a year, as the effectiveness of the procedure lasts for 5-6 months.

Treatment mountain air is a relatively new procedure that allows to saturate the body with useful properties through air, without leaving the city. Hypoxytherapy a positive effect on all parts of the human body.

With it, you spend not only the prevention of many diseases, but also to successfully cure them. Hypoxia is an abnormal condition of the body, so treatments and procedures should be carried out under the supervision of a specialist.
