Coniferous forest is one of the main sources of oxygen on planet Earth. The air in such a forest is saturated with biologically active volatile substances. The proof is the coniferous forest in Siberia, which is called the lungs of our planet.
Scientists claim that in the plantings of conifers, the air contains more than two hundred useful components. Inhaling such air, a person not only increases the body's resistance to negative factors and performance, but also stimulates the thought process, the psyche and the work of the heart and blood vessels. After walking through the coniferous forest, the pulse rate returns to normal, the condition of the broncho-pulmonary system improves.
Phytoncides, which are released by coniferous forests, inhibit the reproduction of pathogens. It is established that afternoon walks in the coniferous forest, consisting of pine, fir and spruce, are most useful. Rich in beneficial volatile substances, air has a positive effect on blood circulation and respiration. The presence of negative ions in it contributes to intensive gas exchange, conditions are created for the treatment of respiratory organs.
The dense coniferous forest is filled with a resinous aroma. Essential resins, under the influence of excess oxygen, oxidize and release ozone into the atmosphere. As a result, fatigue disappears in people, muscle tension is relieved, excitements of the nervous system subside, and the capacity of the lungs expands. For those people who suffer from insomnia and nervous agitation, coniferous forest is highly recommended as the most effective therapeutic agent.
Proponents of natural healing systematized research and developed special treatment schemes for diseases by walking in the coniferous forest. They recommend that people with respiratory diseases in the spring months, when nature is reborn and the air becomes warm, more often take walks between conifers. As a result, accumulations of sputum will be better. However, during the pollination of pine, which occurs in the second half of May, therapeutic walks should be abandoned. Inhaling pollen can cause an attack of allergies and suffocation. In winter, coniferous forest is very useful for those who suffer from heart diseases. The combination of plant volatile with frosty air stimulates the work of the cardiac system, gives a feeling of vigor.
Residents of megacities should be warned that they can’t enter sharply and stay among trees for a long time. Indeed, a sharp change in living conditions can lead to shock. An unexpected increase in oxygen in the blood can lead to dizziness. Elderly people who have not breathed clean air for a long time, sometimes faint from its excess. That’s why you can’t forget about self-control. Walking should begin with very short periods of time. Take a walk at a calm pace. Keep track of sensations and do not overload yourself. At first, you can just sit on a bench under a fluffy pine or fir.
After a while, when the coniferous forest ceases to be a mystery to you, you yourself will begin to feel in it, as in your own home. Then it will be possible to come daily and gain in the forest of good health.
