Description

The invention relates to the field of physiotherapy, in particular to methods for the prevention and treatment of diseases of various etiologies using vapor therapy in a closed volume, for example in a mini-sauna.

A device is known - a mini-sauna "Cedar barrel". See certificate for utility model No. 26742, with the help of which a disease prevention method is implemented.

The working part of the mini-sauna is made of wood - mainly box-type cedar with a part that opens and is pivotally hinged with the body of the sauna. In the center of the sauna, a seat is mounted at a certain height, and a hole for the patient's neck is made in the lid.

Heated air from a special generator is fed into the sauna using an air duct. In the lower part of the front side of the sauna ventilation holes are made. In the process of using the sauna, the patient sits on the seat, the hinge part closes and heated steam flavored with special herbal supplements and medicinal herbs is introduced into the sauna cavity. Then held at a given temperature in a mini-sauna.

The disadvantages of such a sauna can be attributed to the fact that, due to its box-type design, it has an uneven, ineffective effect of sauna wood and medicinal herbs concentrates on certain parts of the human body. At the same time, heating medicinal herbs to a boiling point of water and above, to the formation of saturated excess steam, reduces the biological activity of herbs and their effect on the human body.

A more advanced device is known by which a method of prophylactic exposure to medicinal herbs is carried out, which consists in exposing a steam concentrate of herbs to the skin of a patient. See "Device for the prevention and treatment using phytoparotherapy of metabolic disorders of various etiologies." Certificate for utility model 10572, M. cl. 6 A61K 35/78 dated 02.17.99. The device comprises a camera body for accommodating patients, a steam generator in communication with the camera, and a cedar barrel equipped with a lid in the form of a metal frame neck fitted with an elastic sealing case with an opening for the head is used as a camera for the patient, while the barrel is equipped with a distributor steam with at least three valves, which is installed in the lower part of the outer surface of the barrel and is connected by a hose to the steam generator, and the steam generator is sealed, which is warms up on a gas stove. The known method improves the methodology of the influence of medicinal herbs on the human body, since the healing effect of the wood located around the patient is attached to the process of exposure. The patient's skin is exposed to pairs of concentrate of medicinal herbs for 10-15 minutes.

The disadvantages of this method include its low efficiency due to the effect on medicinal herbs of high temperature of 100 degrees and above, as well as a low degree of process control when heating the concentrate on a gas stove.

There is a method of preventive exposure to antler concentrate (cooking water) (see guidelines "Antler cooking water in spa practice", edited by Suschevsky V.I., Gorchakov V.N. et al. Novosibirsk, Belokurikha 1998, p. 29, which consists in preparing a decoction with biologically active antler substances. Methodical recommendations are attached. To prepare a broth, use freshly frozen maral pant. Fresh pant can be stored for a long time in a freezer with a temperature of 15-18 degrees C If necessary, pant is loaded into a special installation where the biologically active substances are extracted for 6 hours at a temperature of 94-96 ° C. For the preparation of one bathtub with a volume of 150 liters 1 kg of raw non-preserved pant with a spongy substance of at least 80-85% is required After a single use of the bath, the antler decoction is pumped into the tank, pasteurized for 60 minutes at a temperature of 94-96 ° C, then cooled to 50 ° C and re-adjusted to the same temperature within 25-50 minutes. A decoction of antlers (one and the same volume) can be used repeatedly, but no more than 10 times. The criterion of biological activity is extinction in terms of optical density of not less than 0.04-0.05 in the total volume of the bath. When this indicator decreases, fresh antler cooking water is added. When vacationing procedures (baths), the temperature of the antler decoction should be 36-38 ° С. Hydrotherapy antler procedures are divided into general and local. In general procedures, the patient’s body is completely immersed in the bath, while in local procedures, only part of it. The course of treatment of 8-10 baths, temperature 36-37 ° C, the duration of one procedure (patient stay in the bath) 10-12 minutes.

The disadvantages of the known method of disease prevention include high consumption of antlers and low impact efficiency, as well as high specific energy costs for preparing the bath, pasteurization, sterilization, reheating of the prepared antler solution (concentrate) and for the manufacture and operation of the corresponding equipment. It was found that in the antler bath, the absorption of organic fractions is much less, since the limit of permeability of human skin is limited, which does not allow substances to overcome the transepidermal barrier, and the state of water molecules also affects the permeability. See guidelines “Pantotherapy in spa practice”. Barnaul, 1999, pp. 66-67.

A known method for the prevention of diseases is the prototype, which consists in the patient staying in a sauna at a temperature of 80-90 ° C, followed by wrapping it (wrapping), impregnated with a medical solution with a temperature of 30-35 ° C, for example, an antler concentrate in a well wrung out damp sheet. After that, in order to maintain the temperature regime of the patient, they wrap them up with a blanket and stand in this form for 20-30 minutes. The duration of treatment is 8-10 procedures, which are carried out every other day. See guidelines "Antlers and their therapeutic and prophylactic use in medicine." Edition of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, Altai State Medical University and Altai Territory Association of Balneology and Physiotherapists. Edited by V.V.Alexandrova, Barnaul, 1998. Page 15, 16, in the text. Guidelines are attached.

The disadvantages of the known method of disease prevention - prototype include the high consumption of fresh-frozen antler and the low efficiency of the technology for its use. The wrapping does not allow to accurately calculate the required therapeutic dose of the drug, to achieve the necessary value when transferring biologically active substances from a wet sheet to a person. When wrapping with a tissue moistened with biologically active substances, the effect is applied to the part of the skin that is impregnated with the concentrate, for example, a sheet, and sweating during the procedure reduces the concentration of biologically active substances in the wet sheet.

The objective of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the prototype, in particular reducing the consumption of antlers for procedures, as well as improving the effectiveness of preventive and therapeutic actions.

The task set by the invention is achieved by the fact that the patient is placed in a closed volume, for example, mini-saunas made mainly of wood, at least with its surface spread, and then saturated with vaporous treatment and preventive antler concentrate with a concentrate temperature in the steam generator of 50-98 ° C and a temperature in the cavity of the mini-sauna enclosure from 30 to 70 ° C for 5-25 minutes affect the skin of a person, while a vaporous saturated antler concentrate is received and served in a mini-sau Well, forcibly by spraying and passing air through the volume of the antler concentrate using a means for supplying air to the antler concentrate of a steam generator, for example a compressor.

Signs that the patient is placed in a confined space, for example, mini-saunas made mainly of wood, at least with its surface spread, and then saturated with vaporous treatment and preventive antler concentrate with a concentrate temperature in the steam generator of 50-98 ° С and temperature in the cavity of the body of the mini-sauna, from 30 to 70 ° C for 5-25 minutes affect the skin of a person, while a vaporous saturated antler concentrate is obtained and forced into the mini-sauna by spraying and passing air through the volume of antler concentrate using a means for supplying air to the antler concentrate of a steam generator, for example a compressor, are new, industrially feasible, non-obvious features and are aimed at achieving the objectives of the invention — improving the effectiveness of the treatment and prophylactic effect, reducing the consumption of antlers. During the treatment and prophylactic procedure, when the patient is in a limited volume of a mini-sauna, made mainly of cedar wood, and he is exposed to vaporous antler concentrate at a given temperature, the skin pores in the mini-sauna are opened and the absorption (penetration) of biologically active substances through open pores increases with a decrease in the amount of antler concentrate used in comparison with the prototype, as a result of which a greater healing effect is achieved.

The drawing schematically shows a mini-sauna, with which the proposed method is carried out.

A mini-sauna consists, for example, of a cone-shaped body 1 (the body can be elliptical, cylindrical or other complex configuration in geometry) made of chipped cedar planks. The door 2 is pivotally mounted on the housing 1 and provides a tight connection when closing it with the side and upper end surfaces of the housing 1. The steam generator 3 is connected to the housing 1 of the sauna using an air-steam pipe 4, which provides the supply of vaporous technological concentrate or heated air into the cavity of the mini-sauna and its distribution around the perimeter of the lower part of the housing 1 using at least two nozzles 5 and 6. In the cavity of the steam generator 3, in its upper air part, an air circuit 7 and air are mounted first helical path 8, and the bottom of steam generator heating element mounted - heater 9 to prepare and maintain the desired process temperature of the concentrate 10 and the helical contour of the air duct 11. All three air circuits are connected to the means 12 for supplying air to the steam generator 3. The spiral-shaped air circuit 8 and the spiral-shaped air circuit 11 of the duct are designed to heat the incoming air. The air circuits 7, 8, 11 are connected to the means 12 for supplying air to the steam generator using valves 13,14,15. Means 12 for supplying air to the steam generator 3 is made in the form, for example, of a fan or compressor 16.

An air diffuser 17 is installed in the lower part of the second spiral-shaped circuit 11 of the air duct 17. A height-adjustable seat 18 and a thermometer 19 are installed in the mini-sauna case. The door 2 has a double-sided latch 20, which allows the door to be closed and opened both inside and out. In the upper part of the body of the mini-sauna there is a cover 21 with an opening 22 for the neck of the patient. An opening 23 is made in the lower part of the mini-sauna enclosure to drain condensate, sweat and to remove the washing and / or disinfecting solution. Means 12 for supplying air to the steam generator, made, for example, in the form of a fan or compressor 16, is mounted on the outside of the steam generator 3 and connected with it using air ducts 24 and 25, 26. The temperature control unit 27 in the mini-sauna building 1 and in the steam generator 3 is connected with valves 13, 14, 15, temperature sensors 19 and 28 and a heating element - TEN 9.

The proposed method using a mini-sauna is as follows.

Before starting the procedure, they prepare the technological concentrate - a therapeutic and prophylactic drug. Why, in the steam generator 3, together with the estimated amount of water, the required amount of a therapeutic product (pant, medicinal herbs) is placed. Then turn on the heater 9 of the steam generator 3 to heat water to a predetermined temperature and carry out exposure for a predetermined time, for example, for 60-180 minutes. After the preparation of the technological concentrate, they start heating the mini-sauna case by turning on the first 7 or second spiral-shaped air circuit 8 by passing air through them, which is subsequently forced into the mini-sauna case 1 when the compressor 16 is turned on.

The patient is examined by a doctor before taking the procedures - blood pressure, pulse are measured, their ratio (hemodynamic index), overall well-being is determined, etc.

Then they begin the procedure of a therapeutic and prophylactic nature, for which a patient is placed in case 1 of a mini-sauna on seat 18, and he is under constant supervision of the doctor conducting the procedure. The door 2 of the mini-sauna is closed using the latch 20. The gap between the neck of the patient and the hole in the cover 21 of the housing 1 of the mini-sauna is covered with a cloth, such as a towel. The lower circuit 11 of the steam generator duct 3 is turned on and the air, passing through the spiral-shaped circuit, is heated and sprayed using an air diffuser 17 in a heated antler concentrate. Rising up, the heated air captures part of the finished concentrate and in a finely dispersed vaporous state delivers it to the cavity of the body 1 of the mini-sauna with at least two nozzles 5 and 6. The control unit 27 temperature in the body 1 of the mini-sauna and the temperature of the concentrate in the steam generator 3 maintains the set temperature by controlling the valves 13, 14, 15, the heating element - heating elements 9 and temperature sensors 19, 28 and the compressor 16. If necessary, the effects of grass charges and other preventive concentrates of a medical or therapeutic direction, the necessary components are placed in the steam generator 3.

Specific example 1 of the implementation of the proposed method for the prevention of diseases using a mini-sauna

To prepare the antler concentrate, 4 (four) liters of clean, settled water were poured into the steam generator 3, placed in it 80 grams of crushed fresh-frozen antler, and the heater 9 was turned on to heat the water. After reaching a water temperature of 92 ° C and holding at this temperature for 90 minutes, the technological antler concentrate was ready for use. Using a KFK-3 photometer, the optical density coefficient of the obtained antler concentrate was determined, which was 0.1, which corresponded to the established therapeutic and balneological concentration of the resulting solution (concentrate). Then they started to warm the body 1 of the mini-sauna, for which they turned on the compressor 16 and through the second air circuit 8 began to supply heated air to the body of the mini-sauna. Air passing through an air-shaped spiral circuit 8 located in the heated air part of the steam generator 3 was heated and in the heated state through the pipe 4 through the nozzles 5 and 6 entered the body 1 of the mini-sauna. Then they started the treatment and prophylactic antler procedure. The above amount of prepared antler concentrate is enough to carry out 10 procedures at the rate of 0.4 liters of concentrate per patient.

Before starting the procedure, patient A was examined by a doctor, measured blood pressure, which was 135/80, and calculated the pulse, which amounted to 72 beats per minute. The hemodynamic index was 97.2. The general well-being of the patient was good. Upon examination, it was found that this procedure is not contraindicated for the patient.

After the patient entered the mini-sauna, sat on the seat 18, the door 2 was closed on the latch 20 and covered with a cloth, such as a towel, the gap between the patient’s neck and the cover 21 of the mini-sauna. By turning on the means 12 for supplying air to the steam generator 3 (turning on the compressor 16) through the third air circuit 11 and the diffuser 17, they began to supply a saturated vaporous antler concentrate into the cavity of the mini-sauna. In this case, a vaporous antler concentrate settled on the patient’s skin, additionally heated the skin and, through the enlarged pores, absorbed and accumulated in the subcutaneous fat, providing a therapeutic and prophylactic effect. Depending on the individual characteristics of the patients, the preventive procedure is carried out for 10-15 minutes. In this case, the first procedure was carried out for 10 minutes with monitoring the patient's general well-being.

At the end of the procedure, the patient, without wiping the body surface from the antler concentrate, rested in a separate room for 30 minutes, after which the blood pressure was measured, which amounted to 125/80 and the pulse was 68 beats per minute. The decrease in blood pressure corresponded to the statistical decrease in pressure established during antler procedures of most of the 150 patients. The hemodynamic index was 85. A downward hemodynamic index indicates a positive effect of the procedure. In most patients who underwent a course of treatment and prophylactic procedures, the hemodynamic index by the end of the course decreased by 10-25 units. At the end of the procedure, the patient was well.

All the known advantages of the Russian bath when using the invention are significantly enhanced, supplemented by new ones, it is possible to use the mini-sauna individually in medical institutions, dispensaries, rest homes, in the country, etc. The absence of metal parts (nails, screws, and other fastening elements) inside the sauna creates more favorable, more effective conditions for carrying out procedures and more aesthetic conditions for the prevention and improvement of the human body. The widespread inner surface of the mini-sauna enclosure allows more effective effect of the healing properties of cedar wood on the human body, and the supply of vaporous antler treatment and prophylactic concentrate at a temperature of 50-98 ° C, which does not reach the boiling point, allows you to maximize the conservation and effective use of useful biologically active substances , and its effect through the opened pores of the human skin has a more effective effect. Reducing the temperature of the antler concentrate below 50 ° C does not give a tangible positive effect. An increase in the temperature of the antler concentrate above 98 degrees C leads to the destruction and reduction of biologically active substances contained in the antler.

The proposed method for the prevention of diseases can be used during the prophylactic recovery procedure with herbs, herb concentrates, solutions, infusions and their compositions, when performing all the same operations in the temperature ranges of the concentrate in the steam generator and the temperature in the cavity of a closed volume for a specified time by the proposed method.

Example 2 of the proposed method

A patient B suffering from hypertension of the first degree was subjected to the prophylactic treatment procedure with a vaporous phytobox concentrate with the number of 7 types of medicinal herbs.

Before the procedure, patient B was examined by a doctor, measured blood pressure and pulse, which amounted to 145/95 and 80 beats per minute. The hemodynamic index was 116. The patient is in good health, there are no contraindications to the procedure.

For the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, a herbal collection was used, consisting of the following herbs: St. John's wort, mint, hawthorn flowers, chokeberry, large plantain, black cohosh Daurian, May lily in equal proportions. Initially, an herbal technological concentrate was prepared, for which an herbal collection weighing 80 grams was placed in a steam generator 3 together with settled clean water in an amount of 1.0 liter and TEN 9 was turned on. When the water temperature reached 96 ° C, an exposure was made for 90 minutes. The medicinal herbs collection concentrate was ready for use. Then, after warming up the body of the mini-sauna, as in example No. 1, we started the procedure. The exposure to the vaporous concentrate of the collection of herbs was carried out for 15 minutes at a temperature of 40 ° C in a mini-sauna. After the procedure, after 30 minutes, the blood pressure and pulse of patient B were again measured, which respectively amounted to 135/85 and 76 beats per minute. The hemodynamic index was 102.6.

The authors conducted 150 treatment and preventive courses for antlers and 120 courses of healing with herbs, i.e. 270 people underwent treatment and rehabilitation. The age of the patients ranged from 23 to 65 years. The average number of procedures in one course is 8. The total number of procedures is 2160. The health status of patients when taking the procedure and after was carried out according to two main indicators - pulse and blood pressure, as well as general well-being and hemodynamic index. Of the 150 patients, 101 patients after taking the antler procedure noted a decrease in heart rate by 8-10 beats per minute, in 35 patients the heart rate (60-76 beats per minute) was observed unchanged. An increase in heart rate of 8-10 beats per minute was noted in 14 people.

By blood pressure. In patients suffering from hypertension of the 1st and 2nd degree, out of 90 people, 79 people had a decrease in blood pressure by 10-15 mm Hg, in 10 people blood pressure remained at the same level. One patient had an increase in blood pressure of 15 mmHg, which did not return to normal within one hour. Reception of procedures is contraindicated for this patient. Of the 60 people suffering from hypotension, an increase in blood pressure was noted in 56 people by 10-12 mm Hg. In 4 patients, blood pressure remained unchanged. In all patients whose blood pressure decreased, the hemodynamic index also decreased.

Of the 120 patients who underwent the first herbal procedure, 56 suffered from hypertension of the 1st and 2nd degree. Of these, in 43 patients, blood pressure decreased by 5-12 mm Hg. In 11 patients, blood pressure did not change. In two patients, blood pressure increased by 10-15 mm Hg. The remaining 64 patients were not affected by cardiovascular activity. However, blood pressure in most patients suffering from hypertension and taking herbal procedures also temporarily decreased by 5-8 mm Hg. Of 120 patients, 118 were recommended to continue taking herbal treatments.

After taking three to five procedures in 76 patients, blood pressure returned to normal. In 32 patients, the pressure returned to normal after 6-8 procedures. In 8 patients, blood pressure returned to normal after 10 procedures. Herbal procedures did not affect the blood pressure of 2 patients.

Based on the accumulated experience and statistical data, the positive effect on the human body of procedures with vaporous antler and herbal concentrates, carried out in a closed volume of a mini-sauna, was clearly traced.
