Radon bath in Palanga
Radon baths are very effective in a number of diseases. They normalize the peripheral circulation and heart function, stabilize blood pressure, improve blood composition, reduce the increased function of the thyroid gland and ovaries, promote the growth and regeneration of tissues with burns, wounds, ulcers. From numerous clinical observations, it is known that radon baths have an analgesic effect. When taking a radon bath for 20 minutes, 0.5% of radon in water enters the body; 2% of decomposition products (so-called active plaque) settle on the skin, 90% of radon from water accumulates in the skin. After leaving the bath, half-life products are actively excreted from the body through the lungs (60%) and through the skin (40%). This elimination ends 4-5 hours after the procedure. When passing a course of 15 radon baths with a concentration of 80 nano-curie per liter (average water radioactivity), the radiation dose is comparable to the monthly natural background of irradiation.
