What is salt therapy

Salt therapy, or halotherapy, is a natural therapy that involves inhaling salt particles to improve respiratory conditions and promote overall wellness. It originated from the ancient practice of spending time in natural salt caves, where people believed the salty air had healing properties.

 

Today, salt therapy is often conducted in salt rooms or salt caves specially designed for this purpose. These rooms are filled with salt particles typically dispersed into the air by a halogenerator. People sit or relax in these environments while breathing in the salt-infused air.

 

Advocates of salt therapy claim that it can help with various respiratory conditions such as asthma, allergies, bronchitis, sinusitis, and skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. The salt particles are believed to have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, which can help to clear mucus, reduce inflammation, and improve breathing.

 

While some studies suggest that salt therapy may benefit certain respiratory and skin conditions, more research is needed to understand its effectiveness and potential risks fully. Individuals considering salt therapy should consult with a healthcare professional, especially if they have any underlying health conditions or concerns.
