How and what to use mineral water

How and what to use mineral water 

The curative properties of mineral water are determined by three main components: ions, gases and biologically active substances. Among the most valuable chlorine ions, sodium, calcium and magnesium, the gases - carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen, methane and radon, and among the biologically active compounds - iodine, bromine, iron, fluorine and arsenic. 

Universal Council on the number you drink does not exist. Everything depends on the diagnosis and associated diseases. For example, to enhance the secretion of bile in the intestine and purification of bile duct and gall bladder fasting recommend 400-500 ml of mineral water. This portion of water to drink in small sips during 15-20 min. The same high doses of alkaline water on an empty stomach prescribe to patients with diabetes, to accelerate the metabolism and lead slag. 

Depending on the tolerability of water dose can be adjusted. For example, a tendency to diarrhea the patient give a total of 100-150 ml. If constipation is better not to drink water, and wash her stomach. In the treatment of liver diseases in the second half of the course in the mornings sometimes prescribe a double dose of mineral water, to enhance bile secretion. 

Treatment is considered the mineral water if it contains more than 10 grams of salt per liter, or water with lower salinity, but in the presence of high amounts of arsenic, bromine, boron, iodine or other biologically active substances. 

In chronic gastritis and gastric ulcer with high acidity and the secretion of gastric juice in chronic cholecystitis and cholelithiasis useful hot water. When propensity to constipation more appropriate cold mineral water. In all other cases recommended to drink the water warm. 

In most cases, mineral water drinking on an empty stomach. Drunk on an empty stomach water freely come into contact with the walls of the stomach and then intestines. However, in cases where necessary to limit the amount of water one or two appointments per day, such as a tendency to diarrhea, fasting is better not to drink the water. With increased acidity of gastric juice, mineral water to drink for 1-1,5 hour before eating, with a slightly heated, and when failure of the motor function of the stomach - for 2-2,5 hour before eating. After eating, drinking mineral water with some forms of gastritis and peptic ulcer disease, particularly if the patient is tortured heartburn and pain. 

Carbon dioxide mineral water is saturated in order to prevent the ingress of air into the bottle, with prolonged contact with water which loses its medicinal properties. 

Treated no longer than four, a maximum of six weeks. If you drink the mineral water constantly, the body will leach "own" salt. And it may violate the acid-alkaline balance. Repeated course is recommended only after 5-6 months. 

In ancient times, doctors recommended to drink water slowly, individual swallows. Today it is considered that it can be done only in cases where it is desirable to keep the water as long as possible in the stomach. In other cases, mineral water is better swig, "salvo". 

Healing mineral water is contraindicated after recent bleeding stomach ulcer and scar changes gatekeeper. From it's better to refuse and acute exacerbations of diseases of the stomach, intestine and liver. 

When you receive the healing mineral waters, as is the case with conventional medicine, it is possible peredozirovaka. The patient appeared irritability, insomnia, disturbed sleep. 

Or, exactly the opposite, there are lethargy, drowsiness, fatigue, trembling fingers, dizziness, headaches. Possible jump in blood pressure, unstable pulse, short-term pain in the heart and heartbeat. In such cases, water therapy is interrupted for 3-4 days and then resume, reducing the amount you drink and the number of receptions. Remember that water therapy is incompatible with the use of alcoholic beverages and even beer. Especially strong damage in the treatment of mineral water causes smoking. After all, nicotine - a powerful stimulus and the stomach and intestines. 

Experts from the World Health Organization considered artificial and natural mineral water equivalent. But under one condition: if the salinity of water is carried out on good equipment, with normal dissolved salts and high-quality carbon dioxide
