Article preview

In work the developed device – an individual thermosteam bath is presented, allowing to lower risk сooling diseases and other occupational diseases to raise comfort of conditions and labour productivity of miners. Distinctive feature consists that the head of the patient is out of a zone of influence of hot steam. Accordingly there is no loading on vessels of a brain and there is no oxygen lack. In the course of application of the given device vessels extend, blood goes on periphery, releasing all organism from the stagnant blood formed as a result of narrowing of vessels, arterial pressure is normalised, work of all bodies improves. The strengthened movement of blood promotes good thermoregulation, increase of immunity and adaptation of an organism to adverse environmental conditions.
