Asthma

 Asthma is a chronic inflammation of the lung airways that causes coughing, chest tightness, wheezing or shortness of breath. 8.3% of Americans have asthma. Of these 26.5 million, 20.4 million are adults and 6.1 million are children.

as it helps widen your airways as well as humidifies and fluidizes the bronchial secretions in the bronchial tree, thereby reducing bronchospasm. Salt therapy provides a natural asthma treatment as it absorbs the edema from the mucosa lining the airway passages, with salts natural anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. An asthma patient will start breathing easily after just a few sessions. These sessions will also decrease your coughing and your dependence on asthma inhalers and drugs.

Halotherapy aka salt therapy provides the additional benefit of treatment in controlled conditions. The temperature, humidity and sodium chloride flow are constantly monitored to give optimum effect. The client is able to relax in the salt room which offers a spa like atmosphere.

Dry sodium chloride aerosol containing particles of 1-5 microns in size are blown into this room by a halogenerator. In order to treat asthma, the environment is saturated with dry sodium chloride aerosol at a mass concentration varying from 1-16 mg/m3 . Typically asthma treatment involves drugs which include steroids that may have harmful side effects. Salt therapy has no side effects or negative interaction with other medication.
