Кристалотерапията, която изучава въздействието на кристалите върху човешкото здраве, е позната на хората повече от 5000 години, от изработката на ритуални предмети и украшения, до използването на най-хубавите екземпляри за въздействие върху психоменталните способности и съхраняване на здравето. Още от дълбока древност хората използвали скъпоценните и полускъпоценни камъни за различни магически и религиозни ритуали, шамански практики или просто за украшение. Според някои учени маите били първите, които започнали да използват камъните за диагностика и лечение на някои болести. Други специалисти търсят корена на кристалотерапията в Индия и Атлантида. Днес камъните намират все по-широка употреба. Съвременната наука също използва кристалите за предаване и усилване на енергията. Кристалите на рубина се използват в лазерите. Кварцовите кристали в ултразвуковите установки, часовниците, компютърните платки, в радиотехниката. Сред най-модерните, но не до там развити методи, използвани в козметологията и SPA индустрията е влагането на скъпоценни и полускъпоценни камъни и минерали в козметични продукти. Минералите имат редица качества, които действат благотворно върху кожата на лицето като видимо се възстановява здравето и младежката и красота. Освен в козметиката за лице и тяло кристалите започват да се използват и в декоративната козметика. Макар и не толкова популярни в големите СПА центрове от световен мащаб могат да се видят и стаи за релакс с огромни късове кристали, както и помещения за кристалотерапия специално декорирани за процедурата. Все по популярни стават кристалната парна баня и кристалната сауна.

Въведение Въздействието на околната среда върху качеството на живот на населението заема централно място в докладите на Европейската агенция по околна среда (EEA report, 2009; Joint EEA-JRC report, 2013). Този проблем е във фокуса на научните изследвания на много автори (Geiss et al, 2011, Smith and Puczko, 2013). Компонентите на околната среда оказват влияние върху човешкото здраве посредством качеството на питейните води, храните, атмосферния въздух и др.. Специален интерес представлява състоянието на минералните води, които се ползват за балнеологични и SPA процедури, както и за питейни нужди. В световен план успешно се работи по екологичен контрола в затворени помещения /индоор екологичен контрол/, който акцентира върху качеството на атмосферния въздух и температурния комфорт на човека (Arens, E., 2007). За пълноценното и по-ефективно възстановяване на човешкия организъм в резултат на провеждани медикал SPA терапии, определено място има контролът на качеството на използваните природни ресурси и продукти в SPA услугите. В редица проучвания има данни за положителното въздействие на съхранена околна среда и отсъствието на електросмог върху процеса на възстановяване (Augner, et al., 2010). Цел на проучването е да се оцени влиянието на някой фактори на околната среда върху рехабилитационния процес в района на Пчелински бани. Методи на проучването-направена качествена оценка на атмосферния въздух, почвите и водите от района на Пчелински бани. През септември 2013 г. са анализирани минералните води, с цел проследяване на устойчивостта на техните балнеологични показатели и е направено сканиране за нейонизиращо електромагнитно поле в района на SPA центъра (аут доор и индоор). Химическите анализи са осъществени в ISO акредитирана лаборатория /Евротест-контрол АД/.

The determination of the ratio of tissue components of the body makes it possible to assess and predict the risk of disease to determine diet and monitor of the effectiveness of the correction of body weight. The aim: to make comprehensive analysis of component composition of the body of students with visual impairment and students without visual impairments. Methods: A total 58 students-22 students with visual impairment (13 girls and 9 boys) and 36 students (24 girls and 12 boys) without visual disturbances. The component composition is measured by J. Matiegka (1921) and Martirosov et al. (2006). The percentage of skeletal muscle, fat and water in the body were determined. Results: The data analysis shows that there are differences in the percentage of fat between the twoexamined groups. Significant differences were found in skeletal muscle mass and water content in the body. Conclusion: The body's composition of students with visual impairments is significantly different from the one of normal individuals. They have a higher percentage of fat and water in the body.
