RESUMO
The non-medicamental therapeutic modalities find an increasingly wider application for the rehabilitation and maintenance of the health status in man. Speleotherapy is one of such methods. The Republican Speleotherapeutic Hospital of Belarus exploits the underground speleocomplex in which over 42,000 petients with respiratory diseases and allergic pathologies were given the required treatment. The clinical effectiveness of speleotherapy is estimated at 97.3%. Remission persists for 7.0±0.4 months on the average within one year after a course of speleotherapy. Repeated courses are followed by even longer periods of remission (up to 2.5-3 years). It is concluded that speleotherapy is the highly efficient method for the rehabilitation of the patients presenting with respiratory diseases and allergic pathologies.

The objective of the present study was to provide hygienic assessment of hospital wards equipped with the therapeutic sylvinite screens (TSS) and compare the results of the treatment of 80 patients suffering vulgar psoriasis with the use of TSS and without them. The sylvinite screens made it possible to create comfortable microenvironment in the wards and moderately increased the radiation background (0,15+/-0,005 Sv/hour) thereby promoting saturation of the ward atmosphere with aeroions dominated by the light negative particles (491,5+/-14,4 units/cm3). Such healthy environment hadc beneficial effect on the clinical course of the psoriatic process, the state of functional systems of the patients and their quality of life. It is concluded that the introduction of halotherapy in the treatment in patients presenting with vulgar psoriasis makes it possible to achieve clinical remission in 65% of them compared with 20% of the patients given the traditional treatment.
