The Salt Room Longwood has been specifically constructed to help cold and flu sufferers relieve their symptoms and feel better in a safe, peaceful environment that feels more like a spa than a high-tech treatment facility.
While drugs may ease the symptoms of the common cold or provide a short-term cure for the flu virus, it may be only a couple weeks until you’re affected again. Salt therapy can bring relief and prevent frequent reoccurrence of cold and flu.
Clinical studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine (2006) observed: “Inhalation of hypertonic saline produces a sustained acceleration of mucus clearance and improved lung function. This treatment may protect the lung from insults that reduces mucus clearance and reduces lung disease.” The Journal of Aerosol Medicine (1995) reports tremendous improvements in patients suffering from various types of respiratory diseases (bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive and non-obstructive bronchitis, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis) who underwent treatment with halotherapy in a placebo-controlled clinical trial. The best remedies and prevention for cold and flu are a blend of science and nature.
salt therapy brings relief by opening the nasal passages, killing bacteria and facilitating sinus drainage. If you are suffering from chest congestion you will start breathing easier as halotherapy accelerates mucous clearance from the lungs. These sessions help drive away sneezing and coughing as well as decrease your dependence on over-the-counter drugs. Salt therapy also reduces stress which might otherwise weaken your immune system and helps rejuvenate your natural defenses.
The common cold usually lasts for 5 to 10 days. Patients suffering from the common cold display symptoms of runny nose, sneezing, nasal and sinus blockage, headache and sore throat. Many people confuse flu with the common cold. An attack of flu is much more severe. A patient with the flu virus experiences symptoms like body aches, high fever, dry cough, red eyes, weakness, flushed skin and dry cough. Salt therapy has been proven to help alleviate symptoms.
