  • walking or measured walking.

It has positive effects on the body. During air baths there is an active effect on the nerve endings of the skin, toning the skin, helping to improve blood circulation and heat exchange. Veranda treatment has a gentler effect on the body, but is no less effective due to the duration of the treatment. Aerotherapy also helps to activate lung ventilation, stimulates heart function, the composition of the blood is renewed and, as a result, blood pressure is stabilized, the functioning of the cardiovascular system is normalized, and sleep improves.
