Abstract

The article is devoted to new possibilities of using halotherapy in the prevention, treatment and medical rehabilitation of children. In recent years, active work has been carried out to develop new effective methods of reproducing the aerodispersed medium in the form of haloingalation therapy or by group method — in the conditions of a halochamber. The therapeutic effect of halotherapy is determined by the biophysical properties of a dry highly dispersed aerosol of sodium chloride. The paper presents the biophysical properties of the main active factor of halotherapy, i.e. a dry highly dispersed aerosol of sodium chloride, and reveals some aspects of the formation of the mechanism of therapeutic action. The anti-inflammatory, draining, mucolytic, immunomodulatory, sanogenetic effect of haloaerosol is shown. In pediatric practice, haloaerosol therapy is used for medical rehabilitation of children with respiratory diseases (bronchial asthma, bronchitis), ENT pathology (rhinosinusitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis), skin diseases. Halotherapy is the method of choice in the prevention of acute respiratory diseases and improving the health of children in general education institutions. The high efficiency of the complex application of halotherapy in various diseases in children has been established. A promising direction for the development of halotherapy is the development of combined exposure technologies. The high efficiency of the use of haloingalation therapy in combination with magnetic therapy in the treatment of acute rhinosinusitis in children has been proven. Based on the conducted studies, a favorable effect of the use of halotherapy and flutter therapy on clinical and functional parameters in children with bronchial asthma was revealed. The data on the possibility of combined use of halotherapy with a pulsed low-frequency electrostatic field in the medical rehabilitation of children suffering from bronchial asthma are presented. Simplicity, safety, the possibility of personalization of exposure and good tolerability by children expands the possibilities for using halotherapy in pediatric practice.
