Abstract
The paper analyzes the efficiency of halotherapy in the health improvement and rehabilitation of frequently ill children. This randomized study included 450 frequently ill children aged 2 to 7 years who went to a compensating-type preschool. Within the year, the children experienced 8–12 episodes of acute respiratory infections, which proceeded with complications in 50–70% of the cases. For 15 years, the children who had been followed up by pediatricians; interferonogenesis was examined, the level of middle molecules was estimated, and specialists’ consultations were given. Halotherapy was proved to have an immunomodulatory effect on frequently ill children. It normalized the homeostatic systems of the children, improved cardiovascular performance, contributed to the body’s higher resistance to respiratory infections, and caused a reduction in overall morbidity in the children. The performed studies were augmented and indications for and contraindications to halotherapy were specified.
