Each person in his life quite often encounters various ENT diseases. This is especially true for families with children. When prescribing treatment, doctors often prescribe the passage of physiotherapy for the best effect. But for some people, regular visits to the physiotherapy room can become difficult, and then a device that has no analogues will come to the rescue, which has been successfully used for treatment in medical institutions and is great for home use - the “Fairy” device.
Appointment
The modern thermal apparatus “Fairy” was created by Russian scientists. It is intended for heating the maxillary sinuses, larynx and frontal sinuses both in a hospital or in outpatient treatment, and at home as prescribed by a doctor.
The very first signs of acute respiratory infections in the form of a sore throat or runny nose seem to be minor ailments at first glance, but they can lead to serious complications. In ancient times, warming was considered the best cure for the common cold. The device for warming the nose is an excellent method for the treatment and prevention of colds.
Principle of operation
The occurrence of various respiratory diseases is usually caused by the lack of good persistent immunity. Therefore, the virus begins to develop inside the cells of the mucous membranes. The optimum body temperature for the development of a virus in humans is 35–37 ° C, but the virus ceases to multiply and dies at a temperature of 40–42 ° C.
During the onset of viruses, a defensive reaction of the body becomes fever, which kills them, but has a bad effect on the general condition of a person and delays the disease. And the device “Fairy” creates thermal radiation only in the necessary places, and, accordingly, the death of the virus occurs without increasing the temperature of the whole body.
During the procedure, the apparatus dilates the blood vessels, which accelerates blood circulation, and reduces venous stasis in the mucous membrane . In the area of the face at the affected places, an increase in metabolism occurs. The device helps to speed up the healing of the mucosa, which is damaged by viruses. As well as the thermal effect of the apparatus will provide a calming effect for the entire nervous system, will have a beneficial effect on the functioning of the cardiovascular system and respiratory organs. Due to the general effect on the body, recovery will come faster.
The “Fairy” nose warmer during flu outbreaks as a prophylactic will be very useful. Daily use of the device for 15-20 minutes before bedtime will reduce the possibility of viruses several times.
The effect of it occurs due to the regulated local thermal effect in a rather comfortable range from 40 to 43 ° C and unlimited exposure time.

But also under the influence of the device, the nerve center may fall, and pain will occur. The pain passes quickly and is a normal reaction to restore the body from disturbances.
