Humans have
an intimate relationship with electricity, to the point that it's virtually
impossible to separate your life from it. Sure, you can flee from the world of
crisscrossing power lines and live your life completely off the grid, but even
at the loneliest corners of the world, electricity exists. If it's not lighting
up the storm clouds overhead or crackling in a static spark at your fingertips,
then it's moving through the human nervous system, animating the brain's will
in every flourish, breath and unthinking heartbeat.
Once humans
feel they are powerful enough to run the charged particle or electricity in
favor of the latter, they are succeeded in growth of technology.
Electromagnetic
emission, direct or alternating current are the tools widely exploited in all
the industries where people can benefit. Though it might sound a bit shocking
to innocent public, electricity is the thing far and wide used in medicine
recently.
Galvanization
is a high-efficient therapeutic technique when direct current of up to 80V and
up to 50 milliampere is applied.
In 1771 an
Italian physician and physicist discovered that the muscles of dead frogs
twitched when struck by a spark and he was a pioneer in modern obstetrics, and
discovered that muscle and nerve cells of humans produce electricity (animal
electricity). Galvanization with application of medication is called electrophoresis.
Galvanic current stimulates absorption of medication by the organism and
facilitates its soft and effective activity in the organism.
Galvanization
technique is frequently applied in treatment of the following disorders:
-
peripheral
nervous system diseases, like plexitis, radiculitis, neuralgia
-
cerebral
and spinal blood circulation disorders
-
vegetovascular
dystonia and neurasthenia
-
trauma of
various nature
-
gastrointestinal
tract diseases (gastritis, colitis, cholecystitis, ulcers)
-
hypertension
and hypotension
-
inflammatory
process in tissues and organs
-
spinal
column and joints diseases
Galvanization
is in effective use in cosmetology to remove scars and treat alopecia of
various types, seborrhea, neurodermatitis and vitiligo.
As a risky
technique galvanization is not recommended in cases of acute inflammatory
processes, of neoplasms or suspicious cases, blood diseases, fever, eczema and dermatitis
at the place of electricity application. Pregnancy is an absolute
contraindication for galvanization technique.
How the thing works
During the procedure
the patient is to sit or lie still, avoid talking, reading or sleeping. Electrodes
are put to the area of current exposure which are connected to various poles of
the galvanization device. Electrode is a small electroconductive plate or a rod
made from lead or carbon steel. Hydrophilous pad of 1 cm thick is put on the cleansed
and degreased that is to protect the skin form electrolysis injury. Electrodes are
thoroughly fixed onto the hydrophilous pad by the elastic bandage or bags with
sands.
The client
is not allowed to be under galvanization in case s/he gets asleep. Otherwise the
device is turned off. The doctor regulates the time of exposure to the current that
lasts from 6 to 30 minutes depending on the type of disease and age margin.
Usually the entire course should be 10 to 20 procedures. As soon as the device
is off, the patient should be left to relax for 20-30 minutes.
What is
good about galvanization?
When the
electric current passes through the skin of the human, various physical and
chemical processes are triggered in the organism, such as electrolysis, polarization,
diffusion and osmosis. The ration of ions changes in tissues and organs, thus
altering functional capacity of all affected material.
Your
nervous and endocrine systems will improve once you take some galvanization
procedures, as well as secretory and motive functions of the digestive
apparatus are normalized. A human gets more resistible to external negative
factors, thus his immune system gets stronger, protective function of the skin
improves, as well as protein and carbohydrate metabolism. Haemodynamics goes better
with overall galvanization process and heart rate comes to norm.
Galvanization
procedure is the strongest biostimulatant for the human organism. It influences
both the total organism and its systems individually. Galvanization treatment is
to normalize and remove diseased states and to prevent pre-mature ageing.
All told, electricity
powers our world and our bodies.
