Ascending Shower with Kuyalnik Brine at the Pirogov Sanatorium, Kuyalnik Resort
What is an Ascending Shower?
The ascending shower (perineal shower) is a therapeutic procedure aimed at treating the pelvic organs. This unique procedure involves the application of water jets under pressure to specific areas of the patient's body. The ascending shower is used for massaging intimate areas, improving blood circulation, and accelerating the healing of inflammatory processes.
Benefits of Using Kuyalnik Brine
Kuyalnik brine, due to its rich mineral composition, enhances the therapeutic effect of the ascending shower. It has powerful anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and toning properties, making the procedure even more effective. The healing properties of the brine help reduce swelling, relieve inflammation, and accelerate tissue regeneration.
Mechanism of Action of the Ascending Shower
The ascending shower directs water jets under pressure to the patient's perineum. Water jets of varying temperature and pressure have a massaging effect on the skin and underlying tissues, improving blood circulation and lymph flow, reducing inflammatory processes, and accelerating tissue regeneration.
The procedure helps:
- Improve blood circulation in the pelvic organs
- Reduce inflammatory processes
- Accelerate tissue regeneration
- Relieve pain
- Improve the nervous system's function
Temperature Regimes and Pressure
The temperature of the water in the ascending shower can vary:
- Cold — less than 20 °C
- Cool — 20-33 °C
- Warm — 37-39 °C
- Hot — 40 °C
The choice of temperature depends on the purpose of the procedure:
- Toning effect: Temperature 25-36 °C
- Anti-inflammatory effect: Temperature 37-40 °C
The water pressure during the procedure ranges from one to four atmospheres.
