At the sanatorium “Podillya” literally everything is saturated with cleanliness and health, even the water from the tap has useful balneological properties, as pumped from the artesian well. Artesian water is of great value to humans and is very useful, because it proceeds much deeper into surface waters and does not contain harmful compounds.
The sanatorium is located in a picturesque forest, most of which is occupied by coniferous species of trees. Our doctors advise you to spend the most time walking for walks. For this purpose, the “Podillya” sanatorium has convenient routes with beautiful alleys. Strolling through them you will be able to receive aesthetic pleasure from the beauty of nature and breathe with clean, healing air, sprinkled with the aromas of herbs and flowers, which is rich in relic pine forest.
The main component of the therapeutic air of the pine forest is the negatively charged aeroion. Increased ionization of air, gives the body a beneficial effect, improves the mood, normalizes appetite and sleep, promotes healing from diseases of the respiratory system.
A unique complex of phytoncides, which literally is saturated with air of a forest park, transforms the stay in the sanatorium “Podillya” into a peculiar therapeutic procedure, “swimming in the woods”, in which people actively inhale phytoncides, formed by trees and plants, in order to improve their health. A hectare of pine forest poured into the atmosphere about 5 kilos of volatile phytoncides per day, reducing the amount of microflora in the air. Therefore, in coniferous forests, air is practically sterile (containing only about 200-300 bacterial cells per 1 m³).
The climate of the resort is characterized by cold weather in winter, comfortable summer, warm autumn and spring, mostly windless (calm) weather, short-term frost, constant barometric pressure (without sharp fluctuations), a large number of clear sunny days per year (264 days a year), allowing the sanatorium Podillya compete with resorts of Crimea and the Carpathians.
The absence of abrupt changes in the basic meteorological parameters in all seasons has a beneficial effect on human health. Comfortable, mild climate is favorable for rest and treatment at any time of year.
The content in the air of a significant number of light air ions (1040-2400 OD / cm.cube) is a therapeutic natural factor that has expressed therapeutic properties. Light aeroion removes the effects of psycho-emotional stress, mental and physical exhaustion, oxygen and solar fasting.
The main curative factor of the sanatorium “Podolia” is Radon, in particular the adoption of radon baths. Their beneficial effect has been known since time immemorial, but scientific study began only in the XIX century. At the end of this century have been discovered X-rays and, later, radiation, and in fact, the 86th element of the periodic table – radon. This is – the short-lived inert gas, which emits in the process of life a weak radioactive radiation. That it has beneficial effects on many human systems, toning and stimulating work of the bodies immune system. At the same therapeutic effect on the body have relatively mild alpha particles that do not have great penetrating power
Located in the bath the patient receives a small dose of alpha particles, which penetrate into the bloodstream through the skin and lungs. Under their influence the ionization of the molecules that make up the organs and tissues, especially water. The initial ionization of interstitial fluid generates a series of biochemical processes. Participate in these vital biopolymer molecules, including biologically active substances, particularly enzymes. It is noteworthy that the activation of vital energy body requires very low doses of radiation. For example, the radiation dose received during the course of 15 baths at the sanatorium “Podolia” (with a concentration of radon per liter nanokyuri 12-15) is comparable to the monthly natural background.
The adoption of radon baths activates antioxidant mechanism biodefense human body. It consists in the normalization of the redox reactions at the cellular level. This leads to analgesic, anti-inflammatory and soothing effect on virtually all body systems. In addition, radon baths stimulate the production of adrenal glucocorticoid hormones, which makes them particularly useful in the treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system. They also normalize metabolism and are extremely useful for people suffering from illnesses of the endocrine system.
Radonolechenie an excellent reputation in the treatment of diseases of the cardiovascular system, in particular, hypertension, atherosclerosis, and violations of the capillary circulation. Radon belongs to a prominent place among the means of prevention, opposing the premature aging of the organism.
As an aid, it is used for the treatment of diseases of the central nervous system. Under the influence of radon baths increases the permeability of the blood-brain barrier, thus enhancing effects of drugs on the spinal cord and brain. In addition, patients experience improvement in mood, increased muscle tone, reduced or disappear entirely pain, often wore a chronic character.
Radon baths are well treated with cardio-vascular insufficiency stage I-II, ischemia, atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis miokardichesky. They are appointed for therapy and prevention of endocrine, gynecological diseases, and diseases of bronchopulmonary and musculoskeletal system.
The therapeutic properties of radon, №86 element of the Mendeleev periodic table are known since time out of mind. Altai shamans didn’t know the biochemistry, but this was not a problem – they successfully used radon therapy in the early Middle Ages. In the middle of the XVI century explorer of mineral springs Brushius Kaspar described the terrains of the German town Fihtelgeberg – “where people reach to old age, and recover quickly.” As it turned out in the XXth century, the reason for that case is the high content of radon in the local water.
Radon – a non-reactive inert gas occurring in extremely small quantities in the world. The special value of mineral springs can be used in spa treatment for many ailments. A unique terrain is Northwest Vinnytsia, where in 1930 radon water was discovered. Right here, in Khmelnik, sanatorium “Podolye” basing on radon therapy works for many decades.
It includes radon baths, applications, inhalation, usage of radon water, micro enema etc. Individually selected set of procedures can boost immunity, has vasodilatory, anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory effect. Radon therapy affects beneficially the organism subjected to a variety of chronic and acute illnesses. It is scientific and practically proved that small doses of radiation prolong life, reduce the risk of infections and even cancer.
A large percentage of resting in the resort ‘Podolie’ choose our health resort because the treatment and prevention of the cardiovascular system diseases. Radon therapy normalizes blood pressure, eliminates the effects of atherosclerosis and improves heart function. All this connected with anti-arrhythmic radon effect and an antispasmodic effect on cerebral blood vessels. Radon therapy makes excellent effect in healing varicose veins, because the number of blood clots significantly reduces, swellings in the legs decrease. Due to increased vascular tone, Radon causes an improvement of cerebral blood circulation and indicated to people who have an increased risk of stroke.
Radon therapy is especially useful for people who have experienced fractures, joint damage and other injuries. It suppresses inflammation, reduces pain and increases joint mobility. It is noteworthy that radon affects beneficially on the formation of Cartilage Tissue, whereas the use of many remedies produce the opposite effect. Besides, contrary to medicines radon have long effect since the positive influence on the immune system. Radon treatment is recommended to ones suffering from osteoporosis, because it activates calcium metabolism in Cartilage Tissue.
Radon baths are recommended for the stress relief and its consequences, so as having a notable sedative effect on the nervous system. Furthermore, radon has analgesic effect, reduces inflammation of the nerve fibers and forcing them to regeneration. Due to the normalization of metabolism, especially protein, radon eliminates allergic reactions and boosts the body’s immunity. In particular, the risk of cancer tumors is being reduced, the regeneration of burned skin is being accelerated. Radon therapy has been established as excellent treatment for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, urological diseases as well as female genital illness. At the same time, after radon manipulations the stable therapeutic effect is observed during 6-18 months.
In some cases, patients contraindicated for conventional baths, water-based. This is due to the fact that besides the main therapeutic effect they have on the body mechanical and thermal effects. It is not desirable, for example, for people who have observed ischemic or hypertensive disease than II degree, as well as a number of other diagnoses. For those vacationing in the sanatorium “Podolia” sparing procedures are provided on the basis of dry baths. They have an impressive therapeutic effect and can be administered even to patients who have no contraindications to the adoption of conventional bathtubs. In the sanatorium practice are two types of dry baths – carbon dioxide and radon.
The first resort, where guests were treated volcanic carbon dioxide appeared in the XVIII century in Germany, Italy, Poland and Russia Kislovodsk. Mechanism of Action mofetnyh baths on the body had not yet been studied, but there was a clear beneficial effect. Today it is known that the effect of carbon dioxide on the skin causes the formation of body tissues of a number of biologically active substances.
Due to this accelerated regeneration, reduces inflammation, improves blood circulation and wound up itching. Adoption mofetnyh bath leads to an expansion of the capillaries and small arteries, resulting in normal blood flow to many organs including, heart, and decreases blood pressure. Under the influence of carbon dioxide in the blood oxygen level, whereby the body activated by virtually all metabolic processes.
The sanatorium “Podolia” dry carbon dioxide baths are appointed suffering coronary artery disease and heart disease, hypertension, atherosclerosis, thrombophlebitis, respiratory diseases, metabolic disorders and a variety of gynecological disorders. Special effect mofetnye baths have in treatment of diseases of musculoskeletal system – sciatica, arthritis, osteoarthritis, as well as skin diseases.
Dry baths on the basis of radon have almost the same healing power as conventional water. However, they are more easily tolerated by patients with serious disorders of the cardiovascular system because it does not presuppose the overload of water column pressure and temperature.
Mechanism of action of dry bathing on the organism is to normalize the blood circulation in the muscles, vessels of the brain and internal organs. Gaseous radon reduces smooth muscle tone and blood pressure and myocardial oxygen utilization will intensify, thus improving cardiac function. In addition, a hypotensive, sedative, and anti-inflammatory effect vagotonic on many systems of the human body.
Testimony to the adoption of dry radon baths are coronary heart disease, hypertension, endarteritis, peripheral circulatory disorders, trophic skin disorders, diabetes, thrombosis, many diseases bronchopulmonary system. Dry baths are successfully used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases of the joints and musculoskeletal system.
