title: [Physiological premises and mechanisms of normalizing effect of normobaric hypoxia and inhalation therapy].
abstract: Pathogenetic and physiological aspects of hypoxia problems have been considered. An opinion is stated that normalizing effect of intermittent normobaric hypoxia (INH) with short-term respiration of gaseous mixture containing at least 10% of oxygen in nitrogen is based on biorhythm inherent in all the living organisms with replacement of the high functional activity periods by the periods of rest and restoration with temporary physiological hypoxia as their typical companion. It is shown that for numerous diseases the course of INH or sessions of staying in the chamber of artificial mountain climate normalize the state of central nervous system, blood circulation, respiration, hemopoiesis and immunological reactivity, activate natural protective mechanisms and increase functional reserves of the organism. Allowing for anthropogenic pollution of the environment and its consequences for the health, it is advisable to widely adopt hypoxytherapy and orrhotherapy.
