Radon baths are very useful for normalizing the metabolic processes of the human body. Due to the ionization of water, the alpha particles penetrate the body through the receptors in the skin, have a positive effect on the connective and bone tissues, on the vessels located in the internal organs, thereby regulating the redox reactions in the body. Human skin absorbs about 90% of energy, which contributes to the change in metabolism in cells. The effect of baths lasts for three to six months.
The central nervous system of a person experiences especially especially favorable influence: at their reception the nervous process as braking process intensifies, and the permeability of the blood-brain barrier changes. According to the studies, radon baths have antihypertensive and anti-inflammatory effects, as well as relieve pain and have a calming effect. In addition, the bath can restore neuromuscular conduction, increase immunity, reduce the amount of uric acid (in particular, in people suffering from gout) and cholesterol in the blood, weaken the convulsive compression of peripheral vessels, increase tolerance for carbohydrates, improve carbohydrate metabolism.
It is proved that therapeutic radon baths stimulate such a system of the human body as adaptive-adaptive.

If you have any acute inflammatory process, blood disease or radiation sickness, one of the severe forms of neurosis, a febrile condition, a malignant tumor, if blood circulation is disturbed or you are pregnant, then it is worthwhile to exclude such procedure.

The procedure for taking radon baths
So, before starting the procedure, cleanse the bladder and intestines. You must definitely eat at least half an hour before taking a bath. You can not smoke before and after the procedure. Do not lie down in a bath if you are sweating or tired, as this excludes the right reaction of the body and can give some side effect.
Before the procedure, rest for about five to ten minutes and lie down in a bath so that the water reaches the breast level, but the heart area and head were on the surface. In the presence of heart failure, you should dive to the navel line.
After diving, you need to lie still, only occasionally performing body movements, as the concentration in the radon water increases. Radon bath should be taken at a water temperature of 35-37 degrees no more than 10-15 minutes.
After you finish the procedure, pat dry skin with a towel, but do not rub it so that the radioactive coating remains. Dress as slowly as possible, after the procedure, spend time (15-20 minutes) in the rest room, and then lie still for an hour in your room.
It is not necessary to combine radon baths and other procedures that give a load on the body, for example, mud treatment. In the days of bathing, do not make long walks. They are appointed by the course (10-15 procedures), usually in a day, or two days in a day.
If you try to comply with all the rules, the effect of the procedures will increase, and their portability will also improve.
By the middle of the course, there may be a balneoreaction. The result usually appears a month after the end of the bath.
