Endocrine problemsTreatments are recommended in the majority of diseases related to the abnormal functioning of endocrine glands and abnormal hormone levels, including diseases of the thyroid gland. The treatment process involves balneotherapy and physical therapy procedures, as well as active and passive exercises, together with taking medication and drinking natural mineral water, whose chemical composition helps the regulation of hormonal processes. A treatment schedule is devised by consultation with an experienced physician on an individual basis for each patient at the beginning of their stay. As with the majority of diseases, baths are an effective treatment in hormonal disorders. Depending on the type of mineral water and the content of biologically active compounds, beneficial therapeutic effects may be achieved. Minerals easily penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the body; they also permeate the body via air inhaled during such baths. Toxins and other harmful compounds resulting in or from disease are eliminated at the same time into the water. Specific chemical compounds contained in the water enhance beneficial biochemical process at tissue level, protect cells from damage caused by inflammation, reduce the tendency for blood clotting, prevent damage to blood vessel walls, reduce blood sugar, triglycerides and cholesterol levels, and normalise blood pressure. They also relieve pain, both directly and indirectly. In some diseases related to the abnormal functioning of endocrine glands and abnormal hormone levels, such malfunctioning may be corrected by the treatment. Peat packs are another procedure used in the treatment of conditions related to the abnormal functioning of endocrine glands and hormones, as peat stimulates the function of certain glands. Peat is made up of the undecomposed debris from plant and minerals. The therapeutic effects of peat treatments depend on the high content of particular biologically active compounds. Peat has a strong therapeutic effect in bacterial, viral and fungal infections. Iontophoresis is a method of introducing certain medicines and beneficial ions into the skin by means of an electric current. The method allows more efficient treatment of outcome and abnormalities of gland functions. Ultrasound treatment involves subjecting the body’s tissues to high frequency ultrasound waves. The procedure causes the rhythmical vibration of the tissues and removal of negative effects of the disease. The ultrasonic waves also inhibit inflammatory processes, accelerate absorption within tissues and release histamine-like substances. Inhalations – certain microelements that influence the function of endocrine glands are transported into the body via inhaled air. Inhalations are of particular importance when oral treatment is impossible or hindered. Inhalations involve the use of various preparations - their composition depends on the type of condition being treated. Among the most common used are aerosols containing sodium and chloride ions and aerosols with pharmaceutical agents. The fluid is atomised by ultrasonic waves generated in the inhalation device; the aerosol mist obtained is then inhaled. Classical, underwater and whirlpool massage. The essence of all the massages is manipulation of the patient’s skins, benefiting the body. Massage aids in relieving the undesired effects of disease, regenerates tissues damaged by the disease and reduces pain. The quality of the air at Spa locations is an important therapeutic factor that ought to be taken into consideration. The air is saturated with biological compounds that originate from the surrounding forests. The air derives great therapeutic properties also from its characteristic humidity, high content of microelements and lack of pollution. Resorts |
