The Effectiveness of Natural Resources for Reducing Stress

High levels of stress cause serious health problems and reduce the quality of life. There is a lack of research proving the use of natural resources for the treatment or prevention of the stress and recovery from post Covid-19 condition. The goal of research: to assess the impact of natural resources (geothermal/mineral water, mud, salt, climate) on reducing stress and improving stress-related mental and physical health, as well as the safety of the procedures. The study will be randomized, controlled, parallel group, single- blinded (to researchers). The complex of procedures of water pool, mineral water bath, mud wrapping, salt therapy, nature therapy procedure will be provided with the different duration and mode (inpatient, outpatient). Primary outcomes- the effect on stress level; secondary outcomes: the effects on stress-related mental and physical health, work and social adaptation, tolerance and safety of balneotherapy procedures. The observation: before, after treatment, after 3 and 6 month of follow-up will be reveled.
