Treatment of acclimatization with medications

Acclimatization is not a disease, but a natural process of adaptation of the body to new living conditions. Therefore, it is not curable, no matter how much people try to convince themselves of this. In order for the adaptation to be more gentle, it is important to take care of your own health in advance. During the year, you need to strengthen your immune system, monitor the quality of your diet, do physical and breathing exercises in the morning, and visit the gym for more intensive training. You need to walk a lot and lead an active lifestyle. It is also important to harden your body, get used to walking and going on trips to nature in rainy and windy weather, in snow and low temperatures. To improve the adaptogenic properties of the body, it is useful to visit a bathhouse or sauna, as well as go swimming.

It is known that many signs of acclimatization processes resemble colds. And therefore, when going to the sea and warm regions, our people take a whole suitcase of medicines, for each symptom separately and a whole handful more "just in case". It is especially typical to "stuff" children with medicines, whose mothers are simply afraid of any manifestations of diseases in their children. This is not a panacea, but can, on the contrary, harm the body.

Therefore, parents and adults should remember that acclimatization treatment should only take place after consultation with specialists. And only they can prescribe certain medications, as well as their dosage and duration of use. In addition, a good doctor can recommend a gentle method of therapy during acclimatization, which includes the correct lifestyle in these conditions, the necessary water regime and diet, physical and breathing exercises, physiotherapy, massages, water procedures, aromatherapy, and so on.
