Sun And Air's Therapeutic Benefits-2

Sun And Air Benefits For Health

A white skin is more prone to become redden, swell, generate blisters, develop tumors, etc. When the skin is well pigmented, these risks gradually disappear.

When the skin receives more solar radiation than which is ready for absorb, suffer a more or less intense hyperemia, ie a redness by more increased blood flow.

If this redness is mild, poses no danger. The surface hyperemia decongest internal organs, as we shall see when we discuss hydrotherapy.

But when the redness is excessive, can get to appear erythema, the sunburn. We must avoid at all costs. We must ensure that the skin suffers only a slight redness, which will produce a gradual and healthy pigmentation.


Excessive redness will produce a quick but not lasting pigmentation, as is often accompanied by flaking in a few days . If we abuse even more, it can produce various types of used solar accidents: dermatitis, rashes, blisters, etc, that might get to degenerate into malignant formations.

The sun, like any therapy, it is good in its proper dosage, beyond which it becomes pernicious, being able to reach even death from insolation.

Concerning the infrared spectrum of sunlight radiation we can be noted that the heat generated by said rays rapidly produces a slight hyperemia in the skin, by peripheral vasodilation, that which clears the internal organs.

As a result, we noticed a slight relaxation and sleep, caused by a slight temporary cerebral anemia, ie, decreased blood flow in the brain. Thus, these rays are slightly analgesics and sedatives.

Also produce a great general blood circulation, and fever-like state:
temperature increase, increase brain activity, heart and lung, sweating activation, etc. Thus, we can see how increases the metabolism, thus producing greater oxygenation and elimination of toxins

Sun And Air's Therapeutic Benefits-1

Sun And Air Benefits For Health

Sun and air
The incident sunlight in our body burden us with energy, as if we were solar panels.

The sun gives energy and provides numerous chemical reactions in the skin, such as the formation of vitamin D. These chemical actions are primarily due to ultraviolet spectrum, also called actinic rays.


These ultraviolet rays also have a strong antibacterial and disinfectant power , so that a rational application on wounds, infections or infectious disease is very beneficial.


Ultraviolet rays also have the effect of increasing the blood hemoglobin and become more capable of delivering oxygen and capture carbon dioxide resulting from cell metabolism.


It also increases the bactericidal and disinfectant action on the blood, mainly through an increase in the number and activity of leukocytes. The sun's rays down the blood pressure if it is excessive, normalize metabolism, favoring the toxic eliminations, etc.


Besides the numerous beneficial effects on the blood and immune system, sunlight produces a considerable effect on the nervous system, increasing mental capacity.


The body produces, to protect against ultraviolet rays a substance called melanin, which is a dark pigment that accumulates in the skin.


Thus a very pigmented skin (dark) is more resistant and also more receptive to sunlight. The less pigmented skin is more dangerous is overexposure to these rays, and less vital energy of the sun is harnessed.

Therefore, therapeutic baths sun will be short initially, and their duration will increase as you gain skin pigmentation.

Thus, the organism is increasingly protected against the possible harmful effects of the sun, and the healing effects are increasingly exploited.
