Modern methods of treating allergies
Typical manifestations and methods of treating allergies are actively studied by scientists. However, traditional medicine has proved its effectiveness. The ideal method of treating allergies is the absence of contact with allergens . But in a number of cases it is impossible to do this. For example, if you are allergic to pollen from plants, you can not hide from it. Increasingly, people are allergic to cold, sunlight, water, dust. But you can reduce the aggressive environmental factors. After a walk, change clothes completely, use protective creams, perform wet cleaning more often, etc. Prophylaxis combined with treatment gives an excellent result! Physiotherapy is of great importance in the treatment of allergies. With the manifestations of allergies, modern methods of treatment are struggling quite effectively.
Desensitization is a kind of "vaccination". Reduces the sensitivity of the body to the allergen. It is a step-by-step introduction of a patient to an allergen. Desensitization is more often used in rhinitis caused by pollen, spores, animals, dust mites.
Drug treatment prevents development or reduces the severity of the underlying manifestations. Drugs are taken on the instructions of doctors, because self-treatment in this case is dangerous.
Plasmapheresis is an apparatus method for purifying blood plasma, in which a part of the plasma is removed. In plasma, most of the biologically active substances that take part in the development of allergic inflammation. Remote plasma is replaced by appropriate solutions. Plasmapheresis is used in the complex treatment of any allergic diseases.
The speleocamera is one of the most modern methods for treating allergic diseases of the upper respiratory tract (asthma, rhinitis). Patients during the procedure are in a room where the air is saturated with ions of salt. As a result, immunity rises, the work of mucosal cells is restored, and inflammation decreases.
BLOCK (intravenous laser irradiation of blood): during the session a person is injected into the vein with a needle to which the optical fiber is connected. A laser pulse is transmitted along it. The method can be used in the treatment of many allergic diseases. It has an anti-inflammatory effect and a pronounced immune-enhancing effect.
