Salt therapy is performed in a special spa-like room with salt-coated walls and floor. During a session, pharmaceutical-grade salt is pulverized into microscopic particles and propelled into the room.
Salt therapy involves lounging in this cozy room and passively breathing in the particles while listening to soothing music, reading or just relaxing in a zero-gravity chair.
Why Is Salt Therapy Healing for So Many Conditions?
Salt particles have negatively charged ions which enhance our overall health. They are hypertonic, which means they pull fluid and toxins out of the cells. The salt particles enter the lungs and nasal passages, accelerating mucus clearance and improving lung function while killing harmful bacteria and soothing the respiratory system. This 100% drug-free treatment is effective, has no side effects and may lessen the need for prescription antihistamines, inhalers and nasal sprays.
Improving Allergy and Asthma Symptoms
The mucus-clearing, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial effects of salt therapy have been shown to relieve symptoms of allergies and asthma. Salt therapy neutralizes pollutants like smoke, dander, dust, pollen and other allergens present in the airways. Open airways calm breathing and reduce wheezing and coughing, making life more comfortable and asthma more manageable.
This also prevents overuse of inhalers, a practice that can cause new bronchospasms and increase asthma severity. Cleansing the airways and decreasing inflammation helps medications work more effectively and reduces the need for them.
Salt therapy helps reduce the risk of common comorbid conditions such as ear and sinus infections. It helps prevent asthma attacks, especially if a therapy session is undertaken during peak allergy season and after exposure to allergens (like a visit to a relative who smokes).
Healing Eczema Beyond Skin Deep
For those suffering from eczema, salt therapy works by activating multiple physiological processes in the body. On the outside of the body, the salt particles kill bacteria and fungi, reduce inflammation on the skin, and improve circulation on the skin surface. Salt calms the itchy rash and heals cracks, which restores the skin’s barrier against infections and allergens.
Salt Therapy for Stress
If you’ve ever wondered why an oceanside resort is so relaxing, the salt in the air may provide a clue. Salt ions have a relaxing effect on the nervous system. For someone struggling with a skin condition like eczema or respiratory condition like asthma, stress can cause flare-ups. Stress increases cortisol, an overabundance of which can cause an inflammatory response in the body.
Salt therapy is a clinically proven, safe and beneficial method of treatment for every age group. It offers drug-free, effective assistance to those who suffer from a multitude of disorders and provides a natural way to address conditions at their root cause. Sometimes, simple solutions are the best solutions.
