Aerotherapy (aerotherapia; aero + therapy) is a method of treating and preventing diseases using air and climatic factors.
Aerotherapy includes walks in the fresh air, breathing exercises, inhalations, and climatotherapy. This method is based on the beneficial effects of clean air and optimal climatic conditions on the human body.
Aerotherapy is indicated for diseases of the respiratory system, cardiovascular system, musculoskeletal system, as well as for stress, fatigue and other conditions. Staying in the fresh air improves gas exchange in the lungs, saturates the blood with oxygen, and strengthens the immune system. Breathing exercises and inhalations help cleanse the respiratory tract. Climatotherapy in various climatic zones has a tonic and healing effect.
Aerotherapy combines well with other methods of treatment and prevention. This is an accessible and effective method of improving health for people of all ages.
