Abstract

Tuz, sağlığa faydaları ve tedavi edici etkisi nedeniyle binlerce yıldır dünyanın farklı bölgelerinde farklı kültürler tarafından kullanılmaktadır. Tuz madenleri ve mağaraların ikliminin kullanımı olan speleoterapi, özellikle astım ve KOAH olmak üzere birçok kronik solunum yolu hastalıklarının tedavisinde kabul görmüş ancak yaygın olarak bilinmeyen bir terapötik uygulama şeklidir. Bazı mağaraların ve tuz madenlerinin mikro iklimi solunum bozukluklarını olumlu yönde etkileyebileceği ve karmaşık solunum rehabilitasyonu için en uygun ortam olabileceği düşünülmektedir. Tuz madenleri ve mağaraların temel tedavi endikasyonları solunum yolu hastalıklarında, özellikle de astım hastalığı ile temsil edilmektedir. Klimaterapinin özel bir şekli olan Speleoterapi, mağaralara ve tuz madenlerine özgü belirli koşulları, özellikle solunum ve ciltle ilgili olmak üzere çeşitli tıbbi durumları tedavi etmek için kullanılır. Bu, her türlü tahrişi azaltır ve böylece hasta tuz madenine yerleştirilirken hastalık semptomları hafifletilir veya tamamen ortadan kaldırılır. Bazı kaynaklar Hipokrat'ın tuzlu sudan buhar solumak da dahil olmak üzere tuz bazlı terapilerin solunum semptomlarını hafiflettiğine inandığını iddia etmektedir. Roma döneminde ve orta çağda madencilerin nefes alışverişlerinde iyileşmeler olduğuna dair iddialar vardır. Bu araştırmanın temel amacı, speleoterapinin terapötik amaçlı kullanımına yönelik faydalarını tartışmaktır.

Speleotherapy - Cave Therapy: An Evaluation of its Use for Therapeutic Purposes

Abstract

Salt has been used for thousands of years by different cultures in different parts of the world for its health benefits and therapeutic properties. Speleotherapy, the use of the climate of salt mines and caves, is an accepted but not widely known form of therapeutic application in the treatment of many chronic respiratory diseases, particularly asthma and COPD. The microclimate of some caves and salt mines is thought to have a beneficial effect on respiratory diseases and may be the most suitable environment for complex respiratory rehabilitation. The main therapeutic indications of salt mines and caves are represented by respiratory diseases, especially asthma. Speleotherapy, a special form of climatotherapy, is used to treat the specific conditions of caves and salt mines, various diseases, especially respiratory and skin diseases. By reducing any irritation and thus the symptoms of the disease are alleviated or completely eliminated while the patient is placed in the salt mine. Some sources claim that Hippocrates believed that salt-based therapies, including the inhalation of salt water vapours, relieved respiratory symptoms. There are claims of improvements in the breathing of miners in Roman and medieval times. The main aim of this research is to discuss the benefits of speleotherapy for therapeutic use.
