[Health improvement in children with ecological dysadaptation syndrome treated at a health resort]
Abstract:
A method for the spa-and-resort treatment of children residing under conditions of ecological discomfort has been developed. It includes drinking weakly mineralized hydrocarbonate-sodium sulfate-sodium-calcium carbon dioxide water from the Slavyanovsk spring and slightly carbonaceous mineral baths in combination with magnetotherapy. This treatment is shown to improve characteristics of somatic and neurological status, activate metabolic processes, accelerate lymphokinesis and blood circulation. Collectively, these effects enhanced the children's health potential.
