In May of this year, the pearl of Vitebsk recovery - the State Institution "Lepel Military Sanatorium of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus" - will turn 78 years old. This is a very respectable age, which has not only passed the test and hardening of time, but has also increased and developed the rich potential that nature has laid here.

 

Treatment in this sanatorium, located on an elevated isthmus of a pine forest between the two lakes Bobritsa and Shchibot, begins with the first steps on the territory: pine phytoncides, penetrating the lungs, cleanse them and fill them with oxygen, so a slight dizziness among newcomers indicates that the healing process has begun, and the most picturesque views emotionally reinforce this. Plus, mineral water from our own well complements the healing effect of natural healing factors.

 

The wide range of treatment profiles of the sanatorium makes it popular and in demand not only in Belarus, but also abroad. These are diseases of the respiratory and digestive organs, musculoskeletal, connective tissue and nervous system, diseases of the genitourinary system and blood circulation, endocrine system, nutritional disorders and metabolic disorders. Here you can safely include depressive states, despondency and blues, which in some cases are treated with natural energy filling, contemplation of quiet water surfaces, communication with birds and animals, i.e. a kind of grounding and reformatting of consciousness (sometimes under the guidance of an experienced psychologist).

 

Innovative types are constantly being added to the classic types of healing (mud therapy, massage, herbal medicine, speleotherapy, various baths, including radon baths, mineral water, dietary nutrition). Recently, so-called gas injections have been in demand - carboxyreflexotherapy - a therapeutic method using injections of medical carbon dioxide into biologically active points, which are indicated for the treatment of arthritis and arthrosis, chronic back pain, rheumatism, migraines, cellulite, excess weight, psoriasis, stretch marks, hair loss, etc. Reflexology procedures are also popular among vacationers - a complex of therapeutic and diagnostic methods of influencing active points of the human body. This includes acupressure, acupressure or microneedles on active points of the auricle (auriculotherapy), and thermopuncture. The method of vacuum reflexology and its other types, which are successfully used for diseases of the cardiovascular system, eye diseases, ear diseases, lung diseases, skin diseases, diseases of the musculoskeletal system, diseases of the endocrine system, gynecological diseases, gastrointestinal diseases tract, as well as for pain syndromes of various origins and localization.

 

But the first thing that the sanatorium doctors recommend paying attention to is cleansing the body, in particular the intestines, of waste and toxins. Indeed, due to a sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, stress, and other reasons, the majority have impaired intestinal tract functions, have allergic diseases, psoriasis, obesity, etc. Therefore, it is so important to remove everything unnecessary from the body, restore normal microflora in the intestines, improve its peristalsis, and only then proceed with the main procedures. Colon hydrotherapy is just such a method of removal using specially purified water at a given temperature and pressure on a device made in Germany, the procedure is painless and comfortable.

 

The sanatorium specialists talk with interest about procedures that at first glance seem secondary, but in fact provide enormous relaxation support to the body. One of them is aromatherapy, where a variety of aromatic oils help fight bad mood, stress, skin diseases and even - for a moment - cellulite.

 

Music therapy relieves not only emotional distress, but also many physical ailments - it normalizes blood pressure, restores the body after colds and acute respiratory viral infections, and has a sedative effect. The classical works offered for listening have a vibration frequency that contributes to the harmonization of the entire body, cleansing and restoration of a person’s energetic and emotional potential.

 

After consultation with a doctor, each patient selects a set of necessary procedures for himself, sometimes even those that he did not even suspect existed.
