FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely rehabilitation medicine, physiotherapy and urology and may be used for the purpose of rehabilitation of the patients suffering urolithiasis following lithitripsy. That is ensured by the intake of the herbal tea "Veres" containing wild camomile blossom, knotgrass herb, nosebleed herb and horsetail herb, juniper fruits, sage leaves, birch leaves, red bilberry leaves, linseeds taken in equal proportions. The infusion is taken in a dose of 100 ml 3 times a day 30 minutes before meals for 5-7 preoperative days. The common background therapy follows the lithotripsy procedure. That is combined with the additional intake of the herbal tea "Veres" for 10 days following the above procedure and hydrocarbonate sulphate calcium-magnesium mineral water "Kazachinskaya" of mineralisation 1.44g/l for 24 days following lithotripsy. The mineral water "Kazachinskaya" is taken in a dose of 200-250 ml 3 times a day before meals. Further, after the lithotripsy procedure, a projection of the involved kidneys and renal duct is exposed to the apparatus Bemer-3000 at AC field frequency 30-1000 Hz and magnetic field intensity 8.5-100 mcT. The exposure is generated by an intensive contact applicator from 2 fields in the mode-1 (2-4 stages) of 8 minutes. The therapeutic course makes 10 daily procedures. The background therapy is followed by another one-month intake of the herbal tea "Veres", as well as by another exposure to the apparatus "Bemer-3000" at the same parameters of the electromagnetic field. The contact exposure also covers the kidneys and the lower one-third of the renal duct by means of the intensive application from 2-4 fields in the mode-2 (2-4 stages) of 12 minutes.
