There are large deposits of this material near Skhidnytsia in Boryslav, so the Skhidnytsia Medical Center has the opportunity to use ozokerite for medical procedures. 

Ozokerite: what is it, what effect does it have

This material contains a considerable amount of medicinal substances: oils, resins, nitrogen, sulfur, potassium, calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, sodium and other active substances. Dehydrated medical ozokerite is used for medical procedures. It is characterized by high heat capacity and low thermal conductivity. 

Ozokerite is commonly used in balneotherapy. It has an active anti-inflammatory, analgesic, healing effect, relieves spasms, and helps to normalize the peripheral nervous system. 

Ozokerite has a triple effect on the body:

1. Chemical. The components of ozokerite enter the bloodstream and affect nerve receptors, stimulate vascular tone, enhancing the thermal effect. 
2. Thermal. The effect of heat improves blood and lymph circulation, triggers metabolic processes, and has an active calming effect. 
3. Mechanical. When hardened, ozokerite shrinks, which gives a massage effect.  

Indications for ozokerite therapy

This method of treatment is widely used for therapy:

• sciatica;
• arthritis and polyarthritis of various origins;

Ozokeritotherapy has contraindications, so this procedure is prescribed by a doctor and performed under the supervision of a specialist. 

OligoScan is an innovative device used for high-precision analysis of body tissues for the level of minerals, trace elements, heavy metals and the level of oxidative stress in the body. The analysis is based on an innovative technology - spectrophotometry. This is a non-invasive and painless scan at the level of the skin.

That is, the device will very accurately determine the level of your indicators in 10 minutes of scanning your palm. This is not magic, but modern technology that allows for fast, accurate, and convenient diagnostics.

What is the principle of OligoScan analysis?

This is an analytical method that involves measuring the absorption level or optical density of a chemical element. The principle is based on the fact that a chemical substance reflects, absorbs, or emits electromagnetic radiation in a certain wavelength range. If the concentration of a substance is high, it will absorb more light.

Why undergo an examination with OligoScan?

This analysis makes it possible to accurately determine the deficiency of basic minerals and trace elements, as well as the concentration of toxins and heavy metals in the body (intestinal absorption problems, enzyme status, metabolism, cognitive functions of hormonal levels, emotional state, cardiovascular and nervous system activity).

What will the OligoScan test show?

One test will allow you to get levels of a large number of health biomarkers:

•   The 20 most important minerals and trace elements;
•   14 heavy metals;
•   balances of the main minerals in the body: calcium - magnesium, calcium - phosphorus, potassium - sodium, copper - zinc.
•   The level of oxidative stress in the body.
• Reserves of adaptation and detoxification capacity of the body
• Predisposition to diabetes mellitus, allergies, acidosis.

The data obtained allows us to detect changes in the body at early stages, prevent diseases, and correctly prescribe a personalized correction of deficiencies and an effective treatment plan.

 When is it useful to undergo analysis on Oligoscan?

This analysis is very useful for both adults and children over 13 years of age. It is useful for:

•   preventive care once a year;
•   pregnancy planning, during pregnancy and lactation;
•   in conditions of rapid fatigue, deterioration of the immune system;
•   depression, high anxiety, irritability;
•   memory problems, concentration disorders;

-   regular disorders of the liver, gastrointestinal tract, skin and joint diseases, etc.

Therapeutic baths are actively used in medicine for the treatment and prevention of dermatological diseases, as well as pathologies of joints, internal organs and other problems.

Mineral baths allow you to enrich your body with sodium and chlorine ions, as well as iron, calcium, magnesium, fluorine, and silicon.

Dry carbon dioxide baths

This is a special medical procedure based on the action of CO2, which actively dilates blood vessels. This helps to reduce blood pressure and improve blood circulation.

These baths "work" similarly to water baths, but are easier for patients to tolerate. You can take CO2 baths every day, and these procedures are completely safe.

 Carbon dioxide baths have a complex effect:

•   make blood vessels more elastic;
•   improve skin trophism;
•   activate metabolism;
•   relieve pain and itching;
