The energy of the Sun accumulated with the help of exercises can be directed to self-healing, pain relief, rejuvenation. There are some general points for doing exercises.

All exercises are performed while sitting on a stool facing the sun; the back is straight, the feet are parallel to each other. And also for a better perception and concentration of solar energy, all its movements must be accompanied by a prayer: for men, “Our Father” is more suitable, for women - “Most Holy Mother of God”. Prayer is said in the process of doing the exercises.

Direction of energy to a diseased organ directly from the Sun

Raise your open right palm and direct it towards the Sun, as if receiving its rays. Place your left hand on a weakened or diseased organ..

Retransmission (transmission) of solar energy to a weakened organ through the solar plexus or heart

First, receive energy from the Sun to the solar plexus. To do this, raise your open right palm and turn it towards the Sun, as if receiving its rays. Place your left hand on the solar plexus or heart. Then place your right hand on the solar plexus or heart, and your left hand on the weakened or diseased organ.

Headache relief, dizziness elimination, low blood pressure normalization

Place your right hand on the solar plexus, the left hand on the back of the head. Mentally direct the energy from the solar plexus to the head, increasing its energy. FROM eyes closed sit for 10-15 minutes.

In diseases of the throat (angina, tonsillitis)

Place your right hand on your throat, your left hand on the back of your head. Do this several days in a row for 15-20 minutes

With a cold

Place your right hand on the solar plexus, and place your left hand on your nose and forehead. After 15 minutes, there will be an improvement or a runny nose will completely disappear.

With chills

Place your right hand on the solar plexus, your left hand on the base of the brain (cerebellum). Breathe deeply and rhythmically. Hold your palms like this for 10-15 minutes.

For pain in the stomach, kidneys, bladder

Place your right hand on the cerebellum, the left hand on the sore spot. Follow your diet.

Rejuvenation and success in all matters

With an open right palm - fingers do not touch each other - make circular movements clockwise in the face area without contact for 15 minutes. The eyes are closed. Before your inner eye, keep the image of your young face: it is fresh, young, eyes are clear, shiny, and so on. Inwardly smile at yourself, tuning in to Kindness, compassion, Love for your neighbor, Intuition, Wisdom, Truth. Imagine that you are accompanied by Health, Joy, Memory. You have a high level of Intelligence and Attention. You carefully peer into the image of your young face. You are young and rich. You are accompanied by success in scientific knowledge, work, business.

SUN LIGHT TREATMENT OR HELIO THERAPY

Treatment with sunlight, or heliotherapy (from the Greek "helios" - the sun) is one of the most available species treatment. The sun is a natural source of light, and people have long enjoyed the good that God has given them.

ACTION OF SUN LIGHT

Modern research has revealed that under the influence of sunlight pineal gland, located in the diencephalon, produces a hormone called melatonin. For example, the rate of aging of the body depends on the amount of this hormone. Melatonin intercepts the so-called free radicals- compounds that are formed as a result of metabolism. Free radicals damage the entire body blood vessels fragile, contribute to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, destroy genetic information in the nuclei of cells. What effect does sunlight have?

The blood circulation is stabilized. In the summer, the number of deaths from a heart attack decreases. Solar energy affects sperm production. Scientists have found that sexual activity increases in summer. The heartbeat and pulse become more frequent, blood vessels dilate, and, as a result, blood flow to the skin increases, which makes it look much better. Muscles become more elastic Metabolism increases: food is processed better, fats break down faster, protein is easier to digest. Solar energy has an exciting effect on the brain. Even after short stay improves noticeably in the sun brain activity. Sunlight stimulates the immune system. It is useful to look at the sun - this is a good exercise for the eyes.

Sunlight is essential for the production of vitamin D, which building material for teeth and bones. With a lack of sunlight, children develop rickets, a disease that causes a curvature of the spine. Without vitamin D, normal bone development is impossible. Osteoporosis, which is the cause of bone fragility in old age, is also largely the result of a lack of vitamin D. Osteoporosis is more common in people who lead a sedentary lifestyle and rarely get into the sun. Ultraviolet rays slow down the growth of cancer cells, with the help of sunlight, our body produces substances that successfully fight cancer cells: interleukocytes and interferon. People who rarely go out into the sun are at greater risk of getting cancer.

Heliotherapy comes from the fact that natural remedies contain the healing power of sunlight. Thus, plants or plant extracts that have accumulated sunlight over the summer can be of undoubted benefit in the treatment of diseases. Drying and further processing medicinal plants deliberately placed in purple glass vessels and subjected to increased solar radiation. It is believed that from this they come to life and enrich themselves. The violet part of the solar spectrum kills harmful bacteria. Then the plants are processed into solar elixirs, essences for solariums, solar pills.

HELIOTHERAPY IN FOLK MEDICINE IN OTHER COUNTRIES

The English physician Edward Bach developed his flower therapy, which is very popular these days. Its essence is as follows: for each disease and each individual, certain flowers are selected. They are harvested only when they have fully bloomed and absorbed the maximum possible amount of sunlight. Dr. Bach put them in fresh water, exposed them to the sun and waited until they withered, because he believed that this was the only way their energy and healing power were transferred to the water. The doctor called this process of making medicinal potions the "solar" method. The Swiss August Rollier, who called himself a heliotherapist, ran a "solar clinic" in Swiss Alps and with unprecedented success treated there patients with tuberculosis. Treated with sun and herbs. He argued that the higher the dose of solar irradiation of the plant, the better the treatment. He successfully treated colitis, anemia, gout, atherosclerosis, skin diseases and asthma. He described his method in the book "Healing with the sun."

TYPES OF SOLAR RADIATION

The optical radiation of the Sun consists of visible radiation (own light) and invisible - infrared and ultraviolet radiation. Different layers of the skin absorb these rays differently. The depth of their penetration increases with the transition from ultraviolet to infrared radiation. The sun's rays have a healing effect on the entire body. Blood circulation and the work of the heart muscle are activated, the nervous system is strengthened, physical activity improves the provision of organs and bones with calcium.

Attention! Solar radiation is contraindicated in malignant and benign neoplasms, cardiovascular diseases.

Sunbathing. Sunbathing is useful for many diseases. But there are certain rules their reception, which should be observed in order not to harm yourself. On the first day, you can not be under direct sunbeams longer than 5-10 minutes, on the second day the time of taking a bath can be 15 minutes, the next day the time spent in the sun is increased by another 5 minutes, bringing it to 50-60 minutes. Staying in the sun for more than 1 hour is not recommended.

Infrared radiation. Its source is any heated body, and the intensity and composition of such radiation are determined by the temperature of the body. The human body, by the way, is also a powerful source of infrared radiation. infrared rays make up to 45-50% solar radiation hitting the ground. Under the influence of these rays, blood flow in the tissues increases. Infrared radiation stimulates healing processes in the focus of inflammation. If you expose large areas of the body to radiation, there will be an increase in breathing. Infrared radiation has anti-inflammatory, metabolic and vasodilating effects. It is useful in chronic and subacute non-suppurative inflammatory diseases. internal organs, burns and frostbite, sluggishly healing wounds and ulcers, diseases of the peripheral nervous system (myositis, neuralgia), consequences of injuries of the musculoskeletal system. You should not be exposed to infrared radiation in case of malignant neoplasms and suspicions of their presence, a tendency to bleeding, in acute inflammatory and purulent processes, cerebrovascular insufficiency, cardiovascular insufficiency.

Ultraviolet radiation. The ultraviolet part of sunlight is divided into component rays of the spectrum: A - long-wave radiation, B - medium-wave radiation, C - short-wave radiation.

Ultraviolet long-wave irradiation A causes pigmentation, or tanning, of the skin. Under the action of these rays, the body's immune system is stimulated, its resistance to harmful environmental factors increases. This kind of training is especially necessary. immune system people with chronic diseases. Indications for this type of exposure are chronic inflammatory diseases of internal organs (especially the respiratory system); diseases of the joints and bones; burns and frostbite; sluggishly healing wounds and ulcers; eczema; seborrhea; fatigue. Shingles (psoriasis) respond well to sun treatment. However, excessive and uncontrolled ultraviolet irradiation leads to skin aging and can cause cell mutation, that is, subsequently lead to malignant neoplasms. Contraindications to long-wave irradiation: benign and malignant tumors, cardiovascular diseases, acute inflammatory and purulent diseases, liver and kidney diseases with severe dysfunction, increased sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation.

Medium-wavelength ultraviolet B radiation leads to reddening of the skin. Redness appears after 3-12 hours from the beginning of irradiation, lasts up to 3 days, has clear boundaries and smooth red-violet color. When irradiated with medium-wave ultraviolet rays of the surface layers of the skin, the provitamin contained in the drink turns into vitamin D3, an essential component of calcium-phosphorus metabolism in the body. In the kidneys, vitamin D3 regulates the excretion of calcium and phosphate ions in the urine. In the cells of bone tissue, again with the help of this vitamin, calcium accumulates. If this element in the body is not enough, mental performance decreases, excitability increases. nerve centers, calcium is washed out of bones and teeth, blood coagulates worse. Children lag behind in development. The reactions that occur during irradiation with medium-wave rays of the UV spectrum stimulate the activity of almost all body systems. Medium-wave ultraviolet radiation is useful in inflammatory diseases of the internal organs (especially the respiratory system); the consequences of wounds and injuries of the bone muscular system; diseases of internal organs (pneumonia, bronchitis, gastritis); rickets, metabolic disorders; diseases of the nervous and muscular system (neuritis, sciatica); skin diseases; diseases of bones and joints.

Short-wave ultraviolet radiation C has a high bactericidal effect. It is very useful for wounds, cuts, skin diseases (abscesses, acne), purulent inflammation. This radiation, like other types of radiation, is contraindicated in malignant and benign neoplasms, cardiovascular diseases. Devices ultraviolet radiation can be purchased at a pharmacy or electrical stores, successfully using them in the winter.

From lectures on Ayurveda by Oleg Torsunov

For health, a balanced supply of solar energy to our body is necessary. Its deficiency leads to a decrease in protective forces, diseases of the adrenal glands, joints, and lymphatic system. Too much sunlight weakens volitional qualities, leads to allergic diseases, greatly exacerbates all chronic processes. Blood vessels, hormonal functions may suffer. How to balance hematopoiesis and the flow of sunlight into the body? How to get solar heat in winter? How not to overheat in extreme heat? Only the right attitude of thought can solve these problems. With emotional depression, low mood, resentment, laziness in winter, an extra release of energy occurs and hypothermia sets in. In summer, with such shortcomings, on the contrary, energy accumulates, having no way out, and even overheating or sunstroke. Fussiness directs sunlight to aggravate inflammatory processes. Greed, rudeness, a tendency to deceive overload the central nervous system, the vessels of the brain with heat. For effective sun exposure, follow these rules:

1. With a lack of heat in the body, constant freezing, stop being in a fuss, imbued with a kind attitude towards others. Kindness is a calm joy towards everything. Good relations to people, like a battery, it accumulates heat inside.

2. Treat yourself in the sun in winter. Its light at this time of the year is especially soft and effective. Do not think that if it does not warm, then it does not heal. In winter, sunlight does not linger on the skin, but immediately penetrates into our cells, nourishing them with the power of health. To do this, it is enough to look at the disk of the sun, and during a long workout, just remember it and solar energy will rush into your body from the surrounding space.

3. In the summer, do not go in a state of laziness, pessimism, indifference to work. This state prevents sunlight from being converted into internal energy organism. Excess heat causes vascular disorders, weakness, indifference to everything. Excess sleep, fatty foods, water leads to sun overload.

As well as:
- in a state of weakness from overheating, try very gently to wish people happiness and joy, do not focus on your condition;
- in extreme heat, enjoy the sunlight, while it restores the balance of heat in the body;
- in a state of optimistic love for people, light is transformed into internal energy;
- move in the sun smoothly, easily, but not slowly;
- look as far as possible in front of you, thoughts should be wide;
- look for coolness in everything, mentally imagine that when you inhale through your nose, the cold enters the crown of the head, when you exhale through your hands, give it to people, the earth, trees; when walking, watch how the air touches the forehead, removing excess heat.
solar session
Sun session can be done every day during sunrise and sunset at summer time and bright light in winter. Clothing is light, the mood is like at a wellness session. Stand straight facing the sun, open your palms, while inhaling, gently direct the light of the sun inward; as you exhale through the palms, lovingly give it to everything that surrounds you. Session time: 20-30 minutes. Feelings of overflow in the head, tingling in the palms, shins notify you of the end of the session. It is effective to combine sun treatment with tree treatment (before a sun session), static exercises and a shower (after a session). Eating is possible no later than two hours before sun treatment. Spicy and fried foods will make sun exposure unhealthy.

Heliotherapy - (from the Greek. helios- sun, therapy– treatment) – sun treatment, – curative and preventive use direct sunlight ( sunbathing). Sunlight is part electromagnetic radiation, which propagates in the form of waves various lengths and has a certain amount of energy. The most ancient schools of medicine knew about healing power sunlight: Egyptians and Assyrians took sunbaths, participants Olympic Games in Ancient Greece, the healing effects of the sun are repeatedly mentioned in the manuscripts of Hippocrates. Scientific studies of the effect of light on a living organism were started in late XIX in. Light therapy as a science originates from the discovery of the English scientists J. Down and R. Blunt (1877) medicinal properties ultraviolet rays (treatment of skin diseases and rickets). However, the most significant success was achieved by the Danish physiotherapist N. Finsen. "In recognition of merit in the treatment of diseases, especially lupus, with the help of concentrated light radiation that opened before medical science new broad horizons,” N. Finsen received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1903.

The spectral composition of solar radiation is not uniform. At the Earth's surface, it is represented by ultraviolet (1%), visible (40%) and infrared parts (59%). The therapeutic effect of heliotherapy is due to the simultaneous effect of several ranges optical radiation infrared, visible and ultraviolet. The eye is able to perceive wavelengths from 400 to 700 nm. Visible light is only a small part electromagnetic spectrum that exists in nature. The parts of the solar spectrum invisible to the eye include ultraviolet (wavelength 200-400 nm) and infrared radiation (wavelength 760-2000 nm). Total solar radiation (“insolation”) includes three types: direct, coming directly from the Sun, scattered from the firmament and reflected from the surface of the Earth and various objects.

Infrared radiation(IR, wavelength 760-2000 nm) is almost completely retained by the stratum corneum of the skin. Infrared radiation penetrates the body to a depth of about 20 mm, therefore, the surface layers are heated to a greater extent, resulting in a temperature gradient, which activates the thermoregulatory system and increases blood flow to the skin. The calorific effect explains the possibility of getting heat stroke from excessive exposure to the sun. Infra-red rays improve blood circulation, and the hyperemia caused by these rays has an analgesic effect.

Visible radiation(from 400 to 700 m) has an effect on the photoreceptors of the retina, which affects the functional state of the central nervous system, determines circadian biorhythm and performs an informational function. The light flux stimulates the synthesis of melatonin by the pineal gland, humoral regulation metabolic processes through the activation of the production of gonadotropic and somatotropic hormones the pituitary gland, which has direct connections with the visual analyzer. Visible sunlight increases the activity of the cerebral cortex, has a positive effect on emotional condition human, affect photochemical processes, metabolism, hormonal background, cardiovascular system. In addition, in sunlight, the “hormone of joy” is actively produced - serotonin, the lack of which is responsible for the occurrence of winter depression.

Ultraviolet radiation (UV) in the range of 290-400 nm has the most strong impact on the human body. According to human exposure, three ranges are distinguished: UV-A (315-380 nm), UV-B (280-315 nm) and UV-C (200-280 nm). Under the influence of ultraviolet rays, redox processes in the body are enhanced, immunological protection and chemical activity are increased. essential functions organism. The most important point is to improve vitamin formation and a reflex effect on the organs and systems of the body with the participation of the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, adrenal cortex and other endocrine glands, which ensures the stability of internal homeostasis. Heliotherapy has a beneficial effect not only on skin, but also strengthens the body as a whole, which provides a sanogenetic effect in many diseases.

Longwave UV-A(315-380 nm) provides melanin synthesis in melanocytes. Melanin absorbs radiation in the entire range visible light and in almost the entire range. In addition, melanin absorbs UV radiation and releases toxic molecules called free radicals that can damage skin cells. Melanocytes supply melanin to the surrounding keratinocytes, passing them melanosomes - specialized melanin-containing vesicles that form an even, healthy tan. In black skin, melanosomes are evenly distributed from the basal layer of the skin to the stratum corneum, and in keratinocytes they are located in such a way as to protect the cell nucleus from damage by UV radiation to the maximum. In white-skinned people, melanin is distributed mainly in the basal layer. separate clusters small granules that often leave vital parts of cells unprotected from UV radiation. The photoreceptor of the immunosuppression process, urocanic acid, is also localized in the superficial layers of the skin. Exposure to UV-A causes its isomerization with a subsequent change in the function of antigen-presenting cells and an increase in either the number or activity of suppressor lymphocytes. The consequence of this is the suppression of the body's ability to reject cancer cells, as well as the suppression of contact hypersensitivity and delayed-type hypersensitivity to various antigens. Wherein an important factor is a skin phototype, since it has been proven that people who quickly burn in the sun and hardly get a tan are more prone to a decrease in immunity from UV radiation than those who tan easily and rarely burn.

Medium wave UV-B radiation(280-315 nm) leads to the formation active forms oxygen, and to the formation of limited hyperemia of the skin - erythema (pro-inflammatory effect - primary). The resulting histamine, serotonin, prostaglandins enter the bloodstream and stimulate cellular respiration various tissues of the body, enhance hyperplastic processes and reparative regeneration (secondary effect). As a result of a photochemical reaction, the formation of calcitriol or dihydroxyvitamin D occurs, which ensures the absorption of calcium in the intestine and thus affects bone density. In addition, under the action of UV-B rays, abundantly represented in the solar spectrum, the so-called "solar calluses" are formed - a thickening of the epidermis (suffice it to recall the skin of professional fishermen and sailors).

Shortwave UV-C(200-290 nm) causes inflammation of the skin and mucous membranes of the eyes; having a bactericidal property, it disrupts the normal microflora of the water-lipid mantle of the skin, reducing its protective function. UV-C rays practically should not reach the Earth's surface, as they are delayed by its ozone layer. However, in recent years there has been a sad trend towards the destruction of this layer.

sunbathing were prescribed by doctors, as an invariable component of spa therapy, to all visitors to water resorts. However, this was more of the nature of aerotherapy, since aristocratic pallor was in vogue. At the end of the XIX century. a trip to the waters or seaside resorts, already in vogue, was a kind of symbol that defines belonging to high society. “Summer migration was so general that there was no one left in Paris except peers, proletarians and provincials who came to admire the capital,” A. Martin-Fugier wrote in her notes “Elegant Life ...”. The elegant outfits of the ladies were necessarily complemented by a wide-brimmed hat with a veil, which protected the face from the sun, which deprives the lovely ladies not only of their aristocratic pallor, but also adds wrinkles to their well-groomed faces. The fashion to return from the sea tanned was introduced at the beginning of the 20th century. the great trendsetter - Coco Chanel.

Chocolate tan as a result of heliotherapy, makes a person more attractive, but the beneficial rays of the sun must be used correctly. Cosmetologists and dermatologists around the world agree that there is no such thing as a "healthy tan". Melanin, the coloring pigment produced in the skin during tanning, acts like a small brown hat to shield the core of the skin cell from the damaging rays of the sun. Blondes and redheads have less melanin in their skin than brunettes, so they do not tan well, but quickly “burn out” in the first days of rest by the sea, getting extensive sunburn. It should be remembered that sunburn is a protective reaction of the skin to the damaging effects of sunlight, and the incidence of skin cancer, according to WHO, is the highest in southern countries- Australia and Israel.

Scientists believe that over the past 10 years, due to the thinning of the ozone layer, the intensity of UV radiation has increased by 3-10%. It was this fact that convinced doctors to reconsider their attitude towards a “healthy tan”. According to scientists, increased insolation has led to an increase in the incidence of skin cancer among fair-skinned people living in countries with a temperate climate and places close to the equator. Over the past 30 years, it has increased by 2-3 times.

Hyperinsolation in debilitated people can lead to an exacerbation of disease processes that have subsided and have not been noticed until that time.

Heliotherapy is indicated for: diseases of internal organs outside the exacerbation phase, conditions after injuries in the convalescence phase, hypovitaminosis D, light starvation. Sunburn is useful for those who have acne-prone skin. Ultraviolet rays cleanse the mouth of the sebaceous gland and cause slight peeling of the skin. When peeling, along with dead cells, scales that clog the mouth of the sebaceous gland are removed from the surface of the skin, and its functions are restored. Heliotherapy is indicated for patients suffering from psoriasis.

Heliotherapy and exposure to direct sunlight is contraindicated with many diseases. You can not sunbathe people with circulatory failure. Sun exposure can increase shortness of breath and swelling. Sunbathing is dangerous for people suffering from severe hypertension. Heat increases the risk of developing a hypertensive crisis. With coronary heart disease, sunbathing can lead to the development of an attack of angina pectoris and even to myocardial infarction. The reasons for this are that on a hot summer day, the oxygen content in the air is minimal, and heat gives air additional load for a sick heart. It is also dangerous to sunbathe for patients with diabetes mellitus, with any dysfunction of the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, severe lung diseases, lupus erythematosus. Under the influence of the sun, the course of some forms of tuberculosis may be aggravated. Sunbathing can have an unpredictable effect on people suffering from mental illness, neuroses, neurasthenia. Therefore, it is better for them not to abuse the sun either. Excess ultraviolet radiation and overheating can have a negative impact on the psyche in children. They become capricious, do not sleep well, are picky about food. Heliotherapy is contraindicated for those who have recently undergone surgery, as well as with a tendency to various bleeding, including nasal bleeding. Due to the ability of the sun to "thinn" the blood and increase bleeding, it is not recommended to sunbathe during menstruation. During the menopause long stay in the sun can increase the frequency of hot flashes. It is undesirable to sunbathe during pregnancy, even if it is normal. In diseases accompanied by an increased level of estrogen (mastopathy, fibroids), you can not sunbathe. From exposure to ultraviolet rays, the condition of women suffering from inflammatory diseases of the female genital organs can worsen. Sunburn is contraindicated hypersensitivity to the rays of the sun. Solar urticaria most often develops in people with impaired liver function.

Sunburn is contraindicated with some hereditary diseases. First of all, it is melanoma - a malignant tumor that appears on the skin under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, including solar radiation. For its appearance, an appropriate hereditary predisposition is required, so if there are cases of melanoma among relatives, tanning is contraindicated. The sun's rays can play a similar role in the development of another serious disease - lupus erythematosus, which also depends to a large extent on hereditary predisposition.

Many skin diseases can modify their course under the influence of insolation (psoriasis, Gibert's lichen, etc.), and not always for the better. Heliotherapy and exposure to the sun are extremely dangerous in diseases caused by a violation of the mechanism of dark DNA repair (recovery), such as xeroderma pigmentosa, Bloom's syndrome, Fanconi's syndrome, etc. The sun's rays can be very aggressive on the skin of a person in whose body there is a deficiency of nicotinic acid (vitamin PP).

The sun's rays can contribute to the appearance of age spots (chloasma) on the skin of the forehead, cheeks, nose of pregnant women, especially in women who are naturally swarthy. Usually these spots disappear spontaneously after the resolution of the pregnancy. To avoid the appearance of chloasma, you should use high-quality sunscreens after reviewing their certificate. In addition, a wide-brimmed hat has always been a worthy completion of a woman's outfit and allowed its owner to maintain an aristocratic pallor of her skin.

In any form of thyrotoxicosis, regardless of treatment, not only tanning is contraindicated, but also rest in the south during a period of high solar activity.

Overheating in the sun leads to increased sweating, to the loss of salt and water by the body. When sunbathing, one should take into account the accompanying weather conditions: if the ambient temperature is too high, then you can expose yourself to elementary overheating, up to heat stroke. To a large extent, this is facilitated by increased atmospheric humidity, which is characteristic of seaside resorts, especially the zones of humid subtropics, since in this situation evaporation from the surface of the body is difficult and does not turn on. defense mechanism heat transfer.

The pleasant freshness of the air of mountain resorts is also deceptive. The higher the resort is located above sea level, the greater the UV radiation, because the number of absorbers in the atmosphere also decreases. Observations show that UV radiation increases by 6-8% (according to other sources, by 10-12%) with an increase in altitude for every 1000 m. the level of the World Ocean, in the resorts. Even many hours of exposure to the sun does not cause sunburn, providing a beautiful even tan, but a significant amount of long-wave rays causes the destruction of collagen and elastic fibers in the dermis, thereby provoking sagging skin. According to research results recent years, UV-A rays can damage the cell nucleus, thereby causing malignant neoplasms.

sunbathing

Sunbathing is taken in conditions of thermal comfort and as prescribed by a doctor. Dosing is carried out according to special tables and nomograms, depending on the state of health, the intensity of solar radiation and air temperature. After taking a sunbath, it is recommended to relax in the shade, and only then go swimming. The contrast of air and water temperatures can become a powerful hardening procedure, and maybe a stress factor that requires hard work of organs and systems. In people with a sick heart, with prolonged exposure to the sun, edema and a feeling of heaviness in the legs often appear.

In order to use the beneficial effect of sunlight and avoid unpleasant consequences, it is not necessary to spend hours under the scorching sun. The flow of solar radiation reaches its highest value at noon, when the sun is at its zenith and the rays fall vertically. In order to avoid overheating during the summer months, sunbathing is recommended from 9.00 to 11.00 and from 16.00 to 18.00, in addition, light headgear should be worn. The skin of the trunk is the most sensitive to the sun, the skin of the extremities is the least sensitive.

Being in the sun, the human body experiences the total effect of direct radiation (directly from the sun), diffuse (radiation from the sky) and reflected (from the surface of the earth, objects, water). If a naked person under comfortable weather conditions is under a little shady protection - under a canopy, awning, umbrella, tree crown - he is influenced by the scattered and reflected flow of sunlight. This is a light, sparing medical procedure, very close to air baths, although even in conditions of only reflected light, up to 17% of the sun's rays fall on the human body.

Very deceptive cloud cover. Many people think that if the sun hid behind the clouds, then its biogenic insolation stops. However, this is not the case: clouds can transmit up to 50% of the sun's rays.

When swimming in the sea, the action of ultraviolet rays continues. A naked body above the surface of the water is exposed to an even greater dose of radiation than on land, since water has the ability to largely reflect the sun's rays. In addition, ultraviolet rays penetrate into the water to a depth of up to 1 m, however, their greatest penetration occurs to a depth of up to 25 cm.

The sun is our friend and enemy. For it to become good friend, one must respect him, be guided by the advice of doctors, be disciplined on the beaches of the hot south. Sunlight is a medicine, it gives a wonderful healing effect. But, like any medicine, it must be strictly dosed.

• Test for determining the sufficiency of a sunbath. When staying on the beach, you need to periodically press your fingers on any part of the naked body exposed to the sun, and if a white spot remains on the skin after pressing, the beach should be left.
• Sunscreens are applied to the skin half an hour before sunbathing, as well as every 2 hours and after bathing.
• Do an allergy test before using sunscreen for the first time. Apply the cream to a small area of ​​skin in the elbow and apply a compress of several layers of gauze on it. Leave overnight and in the morning see if there are any rashes on the skin.
• Children have delicate skin that is very sensitive and susceptible to radiation. For protection, it is better to use special creams for children or sunscreens for adults with the maximum degree of protection. The wet body of a child is even more susceptible to sunburn Therefore, after bathing, it must be wiped dry with a towel or sheet.
• Do not cleanse the body before tanning with soap, do not wipe the skin with lotions, toilet waters. Soap destroys the protective coating of the skin and degreases it. Lotion, Eau de Toilette make the skin sensitive to ultraviolet rays. As a result, you may develop individual brown spots.
• Going to sunbathe, lubricate your lips with colorless (hygienic) lipstick.
• To protect the skin from the sun and to soften it, you can not use mineral fats - petroleum jelly, glycerin, since droplets form on it, creating the effect of small collective lenses, which can lead to burns.
• The bathing period must be included in total time exposure to the sun, because under water at a depth of half a meter, the skin absorbs 60% of the radiation. For diving enthusiasts, there are waterproof sunscreens (Waterproof).
• After returning from the beach, be sure to wash off the sunscreen in the shower and apply soothing and refreshing products.
• Be sure to cover your head and eyes when you are under the scorching sun.
• Sunbathing is unacceptable on an empty stomach or immediately after a meal.
• Do not quench your thirst with cold drinks or alcohol while sunbathing.
• It is useful before sunbathing to eat a little salty, drink cold tea.
• If possible, go barefoot (and a child under 5 - 6 years old is better to be naked at all!).
• Try to prevent the child from sunbathing lying down long time- 3-4 minutes on the back, on the stomach, on the right and left side (after bathing), then send him to play with other children - in motion, the tan will be even and chocolate after a while, and the likelihood of burns is much lower.
• Being on the beach, it is more useful not to lie down, but to move - to swim, do gymnastics, play ball. Movement promotes blood circulation and metabolism in the skin. Thanks to this, the tan on the skin will appear faster and will be more even.
• If you are sunbathing lying down, your head should be slightly raised. On hot days, the temperature of pebbles and sand reaches 60 ° C, which is why it is better to sunbathe on trestle beds or sun loungers.
• Elderly people, pregnant women, children, patients with diseases of the heart and blood vessels should be especially careful about sunbathing.
• Do not get carried away with excessive tanning: prolonged exposure to the sun, in addition to possible damage to health, accelerates skin aging.
• Clothing selectively transmits UV rays: cotton voile, natural silk, light-colored crepe de chine - up to 30-60%; linen, staple, satin, dark-dyed cotton fabrics and crepe de chine - less than 10%; synthetic clothing - from 30 to 70%.

Solariums

The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes the fact that the use of artificial tanning equipment can lead to the development of skin cancer and that persons under 18 years of age should not use such equipment. It is known that young people who get sunburned by UV rays are at greater risk of developing melanoma later in life, and recent studies show a direct link between the use of tanning equipment and cancer. In 2003, the WHO published the booklet Suntanning Equipment: Risks and Guidelines. However, at present, only a few countries have effective legal provisions regarding tanning beds or their use. Belgium, France and Sweden have laws limiting the maximum share of UVB radiation (the most dangerous component of ultraviolet radiation) in total UV radiation to 1.5% (which corresponds to the level of carcinogenic UV radiation from the sun). In accordance with the legal regulations in force in France, all devices emitting UV radiation must be declared to the public health authorities; persons under 18 years of age may not be allowed to use them; specially trained personnel must inspect all commercial tanning parlors; and any claims of health benefits from such devices are prohibited. In the State of California, USA, persons under the age of 18 are prohibited from using tanning equipment/saloons.

TREATMENT WITH SUN RAYS

Beins Duno

Translated from Bulgarian by Tatyana Yordanova (Sofia, Bulgaria

)

Solar energy descends to Earth like a vast jet, engulfing it from north pole to the south and returns again to the Sun. When the plants feel that this energy begins to manifest and come to the Earth, they swell, prepare, and when the energy intensifies, they open their leaves, bloom and rush to collect all this energy in order to be fertilized.

We must keep in mind next law: we are part of the earthly organism and therefore, when the earthly organism accepts, and the human organism accepts, and vice versa. That is why the most powerful are the first rays of the sun. Then the human body is most receptive to solar energy. In the morning there is always more prana, or vital energy, than in the afternoon. Then the body absorbs the most and most powerful positive energies.

As a physical being, man has to do the exercises - nothing else. He must get up early in the morning, go out into clean air, meet the first rays of the sun, which contain specific energy that is useful for all living organisms. He who is too lazy to get up early, to meet the early rays of the sun, no matter how much he basks in the afternoon rays of the Sun, will not comprehend anything.

The rays of the sun do not act in the same way in all seasons. The earth at the beginning of spring is more negative and therefore most accepting. That is why in the spring the sun's rays act most curatively. From March 22, the Earth gradually becomes positive. In summer it is most positive and therefore receives less. And the summer rays act

but weaker.

In spring and summer there is a surge of energy to the Earth, and in autumn and winter there is an ebb. Therefore, the most favorable influence of the Sun begins on March 22.

In spring and summer, from March 22 of each year, it is recommended to go to bed and get up early so that a person can meet the Sun and receive his part of its energy, just like bees collect nectar from flowers. Everyone has to go through the experiments for a number of years to be convinced of this truth.

Solar energy goes through 4 periods every day: from 12:00 midnight to 12:00 noon, when there is a surge of solar energy, and from 12:00 noon to 12:00 midnight, there is a low tide. The tide reaches its highest point at sunrise. This tide is the most powerful and life-giving. It gradually decreases until noon. After that, the ebb tide begins, which is strongest at sunset.

The more negative the Earth, the greater its perceptive capacity of positive solar energy, and vice versa. From midnight to noon, the Earth (for a given location) is negative and therefore perceives more, from noon to midnight is positive and therefore gives more. From midnight, the Earth begins to emit space negative energy, but receives positive from the Sun. After lunch, the Earth emits positive energy into outer space and gradually becomes negative . In the morning at sunrise, the Earth is the most negative, that is, it receives the most.

This fact is especially important for assessing the meaning of sunrise .

One of the difficult questions is ABILITY TO REGULATE YOUR ENERGIES. These energies come from the center of the Earth, pass through the spine and, in the form of a large current, flow into central system brain. Above these currents modern world lost his control. There is also another current that comes from the Sun. It goes to reverse direction- from the brain to the sympathetic nervous system or to the stomach.

Before sunrise, the rays that are refracted in the atmosphere have a major effect on the brain. During sunrise, the rays of the Sun, which travel in a straight line, have an effect on the respiratory system and on our sensitivity.And the closer to noon, the same rays have an effect on our digestive system. Therefore, the healing effect of solar energy is different: before sunrise - to improve nervous system of the brain, and from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. for stomach strengthening. After dinner, in general, solar energy has little healing effect. The reason for this difference is the different perceptual ability of the Earth and the human body.

THE MOST HEALING SUN RAYS IN THE MORNING FROM 8 TO 9 HOURS. By the afternoon, the rays are very strong and do not act well on the human body. Early sunbeams work well on anemic people,

You can expose your whole body to the Sun. Sunbathing in the morning from 8 to 10 o'clock. These baths work on the spine, brain, lungs. The brain is like a battery . As soon as this battery begins to perceive, if its replenishment solar energy arrives correctly, it begins to send it to all parts of the body, and this energy begins to heal .

The more sunlight you take into yourself, the more softness and magnetism will develop in you.

When you study the influence of light, note that there are hours of the day when the Sun sends beneficial rays to the Earth, mainly from morning to afternoon. There are daytime hours when the sun's rays do not reflect beneficially on the body. These are the so-called black, negative rays

.

A person can show himself to the rays of the sun at any time of the day, but his mind must be concentrated, positive, in order to perceive only the positive rays of the Sun. You will concentrate and try not to fall asleep. With black, negative waves of the Sun, earth waves also come, which are reflected harmfully on the human body. Until you learn the laws of "blocking", beware of these waves, it is better to bask in the Sun in the early hours, at the latest - before lunch. Watch out for the afternoon sun. When you want to be treated by the sun's rays, the best hours are from 8 to 10 o'clock.

The energies that come from the Sun hide in themselves a supply of vitality, healing energies. If a person wants to use the energy of the Sun intelligently, he must expose his back to the early rays of the sun, even before sunrise. The energies that he will receive at this time are equal to the energies that he would receive if he were in the Sun all day. Even in cloudy time, you can go out before dawn and concentrate your thoughts in the direction rising sun. Clouds only prevent you from seeing the Sun, but it Vital energy passes through them. No external force is able to counteract Solar energy.

Therefore, I recommend to all anemic and weakened people to go outside in any weather for half an hour before sunrise in order to perceive the early solar energies. THE DAWN GIVES A MAN SUCH ENERGIES THAT NO OTHER POWER CAN GIVE TO HIM.

Turn your back to the Sun both when you are in good health and when you are not, and observe what results will be in one and the other case. At the same time, a person must know at what hours of the day to appear on the Sun in order to perceive only its beneficial rays. When a man is forced to appear in the Sun at all times, in order to protect himself from the harmful rays of the Sun, he must wear polygon shaped hat to refract the harmful rays of the sun.

If you can stand in the Sun from morning to afternoon, you are healthy. If you cannot stand a long time in the Sun, you are not healthy.

When you want to be treated, expose your back to the early rays of the sun. When you want to gain inner peace, turn your back to the setting Sun.

I have often said that a person should talk to the light. Back hurts. Turn your back to the Sun, the light, Think about it, about what it contains, and the pain will disappear.

Sunbathing in the mountains is preferable, because. the rhythm of the Sun's rays is not disturbed by the astral mental cloud that covers the city.

Many diseases are treated with solar energy. It has been proven that every disease has certain time when cured. Some diseases are treated in May, others - in June, July, in general whole year.

Go out into the sun every morning, turn your back first to the south, then a little north, a little east, and stay like that for one hour from 7 to 8 in the morning. Send your mind to the Lord and say: “Lord, enlighten my mind. Give health to all people, and with them to me. "After that, start thinking about the best that you know. Do these experiments for a whole year. You will see that 99 percent of your experiences will be successful.

When sunbathing, your consciousness should be concentrated, not to think about extraneous things. We can use the following formula, which is often said during sunbathing: “Lord, I thank You for the sacred energy of Divine life, which You send to us with the Sun's rays. I vividly feel how it penetrates into all my organs and everywhere brings strength, life and health. It is an expression of God's love for us. Thank you."

To be cured neurasthenic, he should go out early in the morning at dawn and turn his back towards the east. And the one who is healthy, and does this, tempers his nervous system.

Tuberculosis is treated with clean air, as well as with the sun's rays. Patients must expose their back and chest to the Sun for at least 1-2, 3-4 months in order to see what a revolution the Sun will make in them. At this time, however, the mind must be concentrated. Say: "Lord, help me to do Your will to serve You."

If you have eczema, if your hair falls out, if you have rheumatism in the joints or your stomach is swollen, make a veranda, a terrace turned to the Sun and enclose it with glass, take off your shirt to the waist, lie on the couch with your head to the north, and with your feet to the south, substitute your chest to the Sun, while protecting your head from it, and stand like this for 1/2 hour, after 1/2 hour with your back, 1/2 hour again with your chest, 1/2 hour with your back, etc., until you sweat. If you make 20-3

0 -40 such baths, everything will pass - both eczema and rheumatism.

When sunbathing, it is good to be dressed in white or light green clothes - these colors are good. . It is important to sweat. If you are in an open place, wrap yourself in a thin raincoat. When cured in this way, one must concentrate one's thought on the cure directly by Nature. The blackness caused by the Sun's rays shows that the Sun has removed from the human body all slags, impurities, all thick matter. If a person does not turn black, this thick matter remains in the body and creates a number of disease states. If you turn black on the Sun, then you have accumulated its energies.
