- Abstract:
- Purpose: Characteristic changes of certain parameter constellations are described as catecholamine effects. Are passive cure treatments able to alter these stress-relevant parameters? Material and method: 10 test persons underwent the following assessments: pH value, pCO(2), pO(2), O-2sat, bicarbonate, base excess, the electrolytes Na+, K+, Ca++, as well as blood sugar and lactate before and after iodine brine bath, CO2-iodine bath, iodine mud package, lymph-drainage. The data were compared with a defined ergometry load. Results: The tested cure remedies display an effect opposed to a stress reaction: decrease of lactate, increase of buffer capacity, increase of pCO(2), decrease of pO(2). Conclusion: For short cure stays, the tested treatment forms represent a possibility for a measurable relaxation, recreation and reduction of the stress effect. For the classical cure, the result would describe the mentioned single treatments as very soft single stimulations, which can produce the generally accepted adaption reaction as an essential cure principle, without measurable catecholamine effects.
