The blue lamp is the device of A.V. Minin, which was first introduced in 1891. Initially, the reflector was used in dentistry to anesthetize and treat gum in patients. Widespread use of the device was in ophthalmology.
The blue lamp is characterized by a good anti-inflammatory and restorative effect. Minin's device is today a very popular device for the treatment of otitis media, runny nose and colds.
The treatment of diseases using light and color has been used since ancient times in Egypt, China and India. The peak of the heyday of light therapy falls on the beginning of the twentieth century. In 1896, the Institute of Light Therapy was opened in Copenhagen.
With the advent of antibiotics, interest in light has declined significantly. Nevertheless, the method of treatment with light has moved today to a new technical level. The blue lamp for heating was studied at the Moscow Regional Scientific and Clinical Institute.
When studying the device, it was proved that the effect of the device has a beneficial effect on the functionality of the lungs and heart, the immune system, and also leads to the normalization of blood composition. Minin reflector consists of a mirror shade, in which a lamp with a bulb of blue glass is located. When the device is irradiated, rays are collected on a small area of the skin, causing hyperemia on it. Such an action of the reflector carries a painkiller and absorbable effect. A blue lamp heals through the use of dry heat and
infrared radiation. In this case, the absorption of infrared rays by the skin and their further conversion into thermal energy occurs. The blood flow under the influence of heat is significantly accelerated, due to which the cells can receive much more oxygen.
Blue color positively affects the functionality of the nervous system, its action leads to a decrease in blood pressure and the removal of emotional stress. Regular use of the Minin device also leads to faster healing of damaged tissues.
In the Soviet Union, the reflector was rightly considered a “cure for all diseases”. Possessing a wide range of therapeutic effects, the blue lamp has no side effects and has no special contraindications.
A blue lamp, the use of which has a wide scope, is used in the treatment of diseases of several categories:
• otolaryngic (laryngitis, sinusitis, acute respiratory viral infections, tonsillitis, etc.);
• musculoskeletal system and post-traumatic conditions (osteochondrosis, arthrosis, edema, sprains);
• depressions and diseases of the nervous system;
• diseases of the liver, heart and gastrointestinal tract.
Due to its good bactericidal effect, the blue lamp effectively helps to eliminate various inflammatory processes, including in the internal organs.
Minin reflector is considered to be a device for the whole family, performing safe treatment at a high level at home. There are no age restrictions for using the device.
