Halotherapy was found to have beneficial effects with health conditions like:
Asthma
Asthma is a respiratory disease from which one suffers attacks of suffocation. At the onset of this
disease, allergic mechanisms play a central role. As the asthma persists, the more severe is the
bronchial system's reaction. In time, the attacks can even occur without any allergenic influence. In
some cases, chronic lack of water, severe psychological problems, and prior viral and bacterial
infection of the bronchi was the cause of developing asthma. The sterile, pure air of the salt cave,
along with the ability of the aerosolized microparticles of salt to penetrate into the bronchi and kill
bacteria and viruses, salt therapy has proven to be beneficial for asthma. Based on clinical studies,
the inhaled salty air has bactericide, mucokinetic, hydrophilic, anti-inflammatory properties,
reducing inflammation in the whole respiratory tract, absorbing edema from the mucosa lining the
airway passages leading to widening of the airway passages, restoring the normal transport of
mucus and unclog blockages in the bronchi and bronchioles leading to rapid elimination of the
residual tar and foreign allergens, all of these in a natural process.
Please do not stop taking any medication without first consulting with your physician. We also
recommend that you bring you nebulizer as well as any emergency medication when undergoing
Halotherapy.
Bronchitis, Chronic Bronchitis
Often a common cold can be followed by bronchitis, which can take up to several weeks to recede.
Chronic bronchitis is especially found among smokers. The associated cough can be dry,
spasmodic, or with phlegm. With phlegm, viruses, bacteria, and pollutants are being expelled. It is
especially important to drink lots of water with bronchitis to loosen up the phlegm, making it easier
to be expelled. Halothearapy can significantly support and accelerate the recovery process. It is
also highly recommended to drink a teaspoon of sole in a glass of living, spring water every
morning on an empty stomach.
Nervousness, Poor Concentration, Sleeping Disorders, ADHD
Salt has the natural ability to balance the positive charge by binding the excessive positive ions
with its negative ions. Therefore, the neutralizing forces of salt can cancel out negative and harmful
electromagnetic vibrations in our environment (electro-smog), as well as in our body. Hence, salt
therapy has de-stressing, relaxing effects; it is beneficial for calming the nervous system. It is also
highly recommended to drink a teaspoon of sole in a glass of living, spring water every morning on
an empty stomach.
Unhealthy Skin, Acne, Eczema
The skin is the mirror to our internal body and foremost, our intestines. Skin irritations and eczema
appearing around the neckline, on the face, especially around the mouth area, always indicate a
disrupted intestinal flora. The body cannot eliminate the toxins and excretes them through the skin.
A change of diet, together with a colon cleanse, is necessary to eliminate the cause. At the same
time it is also important to drink plenty of living, spring water in order to flush out the waste material.
The salt therapy will miraculously support this process! It is also highly recommended to drink a
teaspoon of sole in a glass of living, spring water every morning on an empty stomach.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a genetically inherited disease and usually doesn't manifest until adulthood. The
accelerated growth of the topical layer of skin forms red spots, which are usually covered with a
thick layer of white flakes. Normally, it takes 28 days for our epidermal layer to be fully replaced, the
time it takes for the deep skin cells to move through to the top layer. For people suffering from
psoriasis, this process only happens in 4 days. This can also cause severe itching. The fact that it
is considered a genetically inherited disease, does not rule out the possibility for complete healing
the disorder. An alkaline-forming, vegan diet, in combination with halotherapy can perform
wonders! Taking salt baths has also been proven highly beneficial. Watch related videos. It is
also highly recommended to drink a teaspoon of sole in a glass of living, spring water every
morning on an empty stomach. Read Article: Deadly Psoriasis Drug Pulled from US Market
Snoring
Salt Therapy can also reduce snoring and activate better sleep by clearing the airway passages in
the oropharyngeal region. Edema of the nasal mucosa and the oropharynx and soft palate, causing
nasal obstruction and snoring, can be diminished by inhaling the salt aerosol, leading to widening
of the airway passage in the nose and the tubes of the sinuses. By this, Halotherapy can help with
improving the sinus drainage and reducing snoring.
Ear Infections
In the auditory tube, edema of the Eustachian tube causing ear infection, can be diminished by the
aerosolized salt particles, leading to widening of the airway passages, better drainage and better
aeration behind the tympanic membrane.
Arthritis
Refined, highly processed table salt stores excess fluid in the body's tissues. For every gram
(0.035 oz) of sodium chloride that your body cannot absorb, your body uses twenty-three times the
amount of valuable cell water to neutralize this salt. The body then recrystallizes table salt using
animal proteins which is available to your body and these cannot be broken down or eliminated.
The next step is that these proteins produce uric acid to get rid of the excess salt. This uric acid
stays in the body and binds with sodium chloride to form new crystals which are deposited directly
into the bones and joints and this is what can cause different forms of arthritis and gout and also
gall bladder and/or kidney stones. The answer to this dilemma can be salt therapy! Halotherapy will
re-balance your body. It is only when the body is in balance that it is ready to neutralize disease. It
is also highly recommended to drink a teaspoon of sole in a glass of living, spring water every
morning on an empty stomach. Another option is to immerse a clean cotton towel into the sole
solution, wring it out a little and apply directly to sore joints. Cover this with a dry towel to keep the
moisture in. You will find it very soothing for joint pain.

Other health conditions Halotherapy can be beneficial for:
* Long acute diseases of the upper airways
* Chronic diseases of the airways
* Chronic pharyngitis
* Chronic tonsillitis or inflammation of the tonsils
* Chronic maxillary sinusitis
* Chronic inflammation of the pharyngeal tonsil
* Relapsing pneumonia
* Chronic and acute otitis
* Frequent viral infections
* Polinosis or hay rhinitis
* Atopic dermatitis
* Putrid dermal infection
* COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)
* Cystic Fibrosis
Side Effects and Counter Indications
Halotherapy has few and rare side effects. Certain patients may experience a dry throat and
increased coughing in the beginning. This is an absolutely natural part of the cleaning process of
the respiratory system, during which the pollution, accumulated through a long time and now ripped
up by salt, are expelled from even the deepest regions of the lungs. The side effects cease with the
removal of pollution and pathogens. Skin irritation and increased dermal sensitivity may also occur.
In such a case, decrease the frequency of therapy sessions.
The therapy is not recommended in the following cases:
- Tuberculosis
- Fever
- Acute inflammatory diseases
- Contagious conditions
- Severe heart disorders

Health Benefits of Halotherapy
Halotherapy
Halotherapy ["halos" in Greek means salt] is drug-free and completely natural. It occurs in a
controlled air environment that simulates a natural salt cave microclimate. Halotherapy stems from
the even older "Speleotherapy" ["speleo" means cave] that historically utilized actual salt mines as
the venue for the therapy. Salt mines and their therapeutic properties have been noted since
Hippocrates. According to the old facts, the medieval monks took the sick to the salt caves and let
them breathe in the salt particles, which were created while the monks were crushing the
stalactites.
Speleotherapy is very popular in the former Soviet Union and numerous Eastern European
countries, were the treatments have been practiced in old salt mines since the early 19th century.
It is not only the purity of the air in the salt chambers that have such healing effects, but also its
resonant vibration, that activate our self-healing and self-regulating powers. When our body is sick
and lacking its natural frequency, salt can bring us back into our original, balanced state. Deep in
the heart of the Earth, surrounded by millions of tons of salt, patients can encounter the influence of
the enormous power of the salt's balancing frequency, thereby replenishing the body with its energy
deficit.
Since the natural salt caves and salt mines are not conveniently located for most people,
Halotherapy - recreating the conditions of the salt caves - started to spread. Halotherapy belongs to
the category of the physical therapies / no-drug and noninvasive treatments of diseases.
Throughout the therapy, salt aerosol is constantly scattered into the air for the patients to breathe in.
The salt aerosol consists of tiny and dry salt particles, in sizes between 1-5 mkm, which are
grinded in a special salt generator. These aerosolized microparticles can penetrate into every
corner of the bronchi and deposit upon the surface, destroying bacteria and fungi.
"Central to the pathogenesis of asthma, bronchitis, COPD and bronchiectasis is impaired
mucociliary clearance, which results in the accumulation of airway secretions. A Russian study of
124 patients aged 16-62 years with various chronic lung diseases [87-bronchial asthma; 26 -
chronic bronchitis; 6 - bronchiectasis; 5 -cystic fibrosis] were treated in a halochamber. Each
patient received daily one hour sessions across 10-20 days. All patients reported feeling
subjectively better after the halotherapy treatments. No aggravations were seen from the 3rd to the
12th month. The average duration of the remission was 7.6+/- 0.9 months. Most of the patients
[60%] used no further medication after their halotherapy treatments.
Salt is the major curative factor in Halotherapy. Sodium chloride aerosol causes bactericidal and
bacteriostatic effects on respiratory microflora and prevents the development of inflammatory
processes [Simyonka, 1989, Rein & Mandell, 1973].(8) Experiments show that low doses of dry
sodium chloride aerosol [DSCA] have a beneficial effect on phagocytic activity of alveolar
macrophages [Konovalov et al, 1992] and therefore on bronchial clearance and the elimination of
foreign agents. Conditions that have been alleviated include: chronic asthma, bronchitis,
pneumonia, bronchiectasis, coughs, sinusitis, seasonal allergies, atopic dermatitis, eczema,
psoriasis, etc. " Sussanna C. Czeranko, ND: Halotherapy, a Naturopathic Breath of Fresh
