The heading "The doctor of the sanatorium recommends" - the role of traditional medicine in modern health improvement

Published by : Милана

According to the World Health Organization, traditional medicine has played an important role in maintaining human health for centuries. Many modern medical achievements have their origins precisely from traditional practices. An example is the discovery of artemisinin, a drug that has become a breakthrough in the treatment of malaria.

Today, the scientific approach allows not only to preserve, but also to effectively integrate traditional methods into the modern healthcare system. At the same time, the evidence base and security control are of particular importance.

Traditional medicine in Kazakhstan

Kazakh traditional medicine is a centuries-old experience based on a deep connection with nature and the ability to use its healing resources. Treatment methods included herbal medicine, koumiss therapy, massage, and bath practices. This knowledge remains in demand today and is applied in modern conditions.

The Burabay LOCK Experience

In the branch of the Research Institute of Balneology and Medical Rehabilitation of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Burabai Medical and Wellness Complex, traditional methods are organically combined with modern technologies. In improving the health of patients with bronchopulmonary pathology, climatotherapy (exercise therapy, hiking), coumysotherapy, phytotherapy (thoracic collections of medicinal herbs), massage (classical and cupping), therapeutic baths (salt, coniferous, herbal), ozokeritotherapy, sauna are actively used.

These methods help to improve the function of the respiratory system, enhance immunity and restore the overall tone of the body.
