Abstract

A simple way of reflex therapy in vegetative dystonia is described. It provides for the effect on the parasympathetic nerves of the brain stem through active points located on the skin of the face, a blunt dense object with a diameter of 1.0 - 1.5 mm. This eliminates skin injury in the con-tact area and makes it completely bloodless. It is devoid of all the negative properties inherent in drug therapy, does not require special technical equipment and other material costs, and can at any time be easily and effectively performed by the patient suffering from this disease. For all these reasons, it needs to be widely publicized among the population.

Highlights

  • A simple way of reflex therapy in vegetative dystonia is described. It provides for the effect on the parasympathetic nerves of the brain stem through active points located on the skin of the face, a blunt dense object with a diameter of 1.0 - 1.5 mm

  • This eliminates skin injury in the con-tact area and makes it completely bloodless. It is devoid of all the negative properties inherent in drug therapy, does not require special technical equipment and other material costs, and can at any time be and effectively performed by the patient suffering from this disease

  • The first of them activates the energy costs of the body, and the second restores them. This system functions as a whole without causing any painful sensations [1,2,3]. When this equilibrium is disturbed, immediately there is a pathological symptom complex, which usually prevails pathology associated with the sympathetic department - there is tachycardia, spasm of blood vessels, headache and heart ache, intestinal colic and so on [4,5]

Summary

Materials and Methods

During 30 years of teaching at the medical school, it was necessary to constantly observe vegetative dystonia in senior students, especially during the session. It seemed more appropriate to use their reflexology by direct mechanical effect on the skin endings on the face 1, 5, 7, 10 parasympathetic nerves of the brain stem As you know, they carry out the perception of sensory impulses, as well as partially involved in respiratory, digestive and cardiac activities. Each time there was a positive effect, but repeated manipulations were required, as patients showed a striking indifference to their fate, that is, were lazy to carry out this procedure, considering it a matter of medical staff. In this situation, it was impossible to expect a permanent correction of the disease
