This review provides an analysis of the main mechanisms of the therapeutic and prophylactic effects of drinking mineral water concerning the rehabilitation of new coronavirus infection convalescents. When considering the sanogenetic potential of mineral water for drinking, it was noted that in the mechanisms of their systemic effects, a major role belongs to the nonspecific hormone-stimulating effect in the form of a pronounced activation of the gastroenteropancreatic endocrine system, capable of integrating substance and energy exchange following the current needs of the body and excrete vasoactive factors modulating the vital functional systems activity. The maximum effect of this system is promoted by the intake of mineral water with a high content of hydrocarbonate ions, magnesium, and sodium, as well as carbon dioxide saturation, but with general mineralization of water within the range from 5-6 to 11-13 g/L.

The systemic character of analysis of pathogenetic mechanisms of chronic generalized periodontitis dictates the necessity of an absolutely new conceptual outlook of organization and implementation of medical and preventive measures designed to activate sanogenetic responses and to enhance the regulatory potential and functional reserves of the organism in the presence of developing periodontitis. It was shown that inclusion of intermittent hypoxic training in the combined rehabilitative treatment of the patients with chronic periodontitis substantially promotes corrective influences on periodontal tissues and ensures stable clinical effect.
