WHAT IS SALT THERAPY?

Salt therapy is a natural treatment that may help in relieving the symptoms of many respiratory and skin ailments.

Our halo-generator dispenses tiny salt particles that penetrates the lungs and cleanses the respiratory system.

Salt absorbs readily and is anti-bacterial, anti – inflammatory and also contain anti-histamine properties.

BRONCHIOLITIS

Clinical Definition of Bronchiolitis 

Bronchiolitis is a common lung infection in young children and infants. It causes inflammation and congestion in the small airways (bronchioles) of the lung.

Symptoms

  • Runny nose

  • Stuffy nose

  • Cough

  • Slight fever (not always present)

  • Mild cough

  • Fast breathing

  • Loss of appetite

How Does Salt Therapy Assist Bronchiolitis?

Salt Therapy relieves symptoms by reducing the bronchiole inflammation and congestion by lining the walls of the airways.  Reducing the inflammation provides relief from coughing, wheezing and will often provide a reducing in shallow breathing. The warm environment also provides relief from allergens that cause irritation to the airways. Children are extremely responsive to salt therapy.

BRONCHIECTASIS

Clinical Definition of Bronchiectasis

Bronchiectasis describes damage to the walls of the bronchial tubes with loss of the smooth muscle and loss of elasticity of segments of the bronchi. The resultant airway distortion prevents secretions from being adequately cleared from the lungs.

Symptoms

  • Ongoing cough

  • Increased mucous (sputum) and phlegm production

  • Repeated lung infections

  • Bloody sputum

  • Shortness of breath

  • Chest tightness

  • Wheezing

  • Weakness

  • Fatigue

  • Sinusitis

How Does Salt Therapy Assist Bronchiectasis?

The salt particles reduce the airway inflammation and congestion. Ingested salt particles enter via your mouth mass via the tongue and oropharynx into the back of your throat. The cilic fibers within the airway for sufferers are coated in excessive mucous. The salt molecules attach to the cilia fibers allowing the mucous to dry up and be removed (via sputum)

PNEUMONIA

Clinical Definition of Pneumonia

Pneumonia occurs when the lungs become inflamed, and the tiny air sacs, or alveoli, inside the lungs fill up with fluid. The body sends white blood cells to attack the infection causing the air sacs become inflamed. The bacteria and viruses fill the lung sacs with fluid and pus, which  normally starts with a bacterial, viral, or fungal infection.

Symptoms

The first symptoms of pneumonia usually resemble those of a cold or flu. The person then develops a high fever, chills, and cough with sputum. Common symptoms include;

  • Cough

  • Rusty or green phlegm, or sputum, coughed up from lungs

  • Fever, sweating or shaking chills

  • Fast breathing and shortness of breath

  • Chest pain that usually worsens when taking a deep breath

  • Fatigue, weakness and muscle pain

  • Nausea, vomiting or diarrhea

  • Headache

  • Confusion or delirium, especially in older adults

  • Dusky or purplish skin color, or cyanosis, from poorly oxygenated blood

How Does Salt Therapy Assist Pneumonia? 

Inhalation of the salt particles reduces  and dehydrates the bacteria or virus preventing it from spreading. The natural inflammatory properties reduce and congestion of the mucosal lining of the airways and can often reduce the production of sputum. The salt molecules attach to the cilia fibers allowing the mucous to dry up and be removed (via sputum). This process reduces the bacteria reducing lung infections and will provide relief from coughing, wheezing and general tightness across the chest. 

SNORING

Clinical Definition of Snoring 

Snoring is the vibration of respiratory structures and the resulting sound due to obstructed air movement during breathing while sleeping. In some cases, the sound may be soft, but in most cases, it can be loud and unpleasant. Snoring during sleep may be a sign, or first alarm, of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). 

Symptoms

  • Soft to Loud wheezing during sleep

  • Waking with a dry sore throat

  • Waking up feeling unrested

  • Periods of gasping during sleep

How Does Salt Therapy Assist Snoring?

Salt therapy relieves congestion, allergies and inflammation of the airways. The salt reduces the localised inflammation of the airways and can reduce your wheeze or gasping during sleep. For most people they have a reduction in the dry sore throat upon waking and partners notice a reduction in the volume attached to snoring.

DERMATITIS

Clinical Definition of Dermatitis 

Dermatitis is a group of diseases that results in inflammation of the skin. These diseases are characterized by itchiness, red skin and a rash. In cases of short duration, there may be small blisters, while in long-term cases the skin may become thickened. The area of skin involved can vary from small to the entire body.

Dermatitis is a group of skin conditions that includes: 

  • Atopic dermatitis

  • Allergic contact dermatitis

  • Irritant contact dermatitis

  • Stasis dermatitis

How Does Salt Therapy Assist Dermatitis?

Salt therapy assists all ages and sufferers of dermatitis and increases the body’s ability to absorb microscopic salt particles via the skin. Salt is a natural antihistamine, antibacterial and anti inflammatory. Salt balances the body’s Ph levels and increases the regenerative process of the skin while reducing the localised inflammation. This stimulation increases skin elasticity and can result in improvements in the skin’s protective properties and increase the superficial bacterial flora (the good bacteria).

GENERAL WELLBEING

General Wellbeing

Wellness refers to diverse and interconnected dimensions of physical, mental, and social well-being that extend beyond the traditional definition of health. For many, we live a fast paced and busy life, so any time out is deemed a reward and not a necessity.

Benefits

  • Relaxing components of red therapy

  • Treat your skin – the largest organ in the body

  • Assist and improve your immunity

  • Reduce respiratory congestion

  • Take time out for yourself

  • Rest, recover and revitalize yourself

How Does Salt Therapy Assist?

Cleanse your body from the inside out with salt therapy. Inhalation of salt cleanses and reduces the pollutants and particles by reducing inflammation of the respiratory system. Many bacteria and viruses are airborne so salt therapy has natural antibacterial and antihistamine properties improving your immunity. Salt therapy has been successful in reducing topical skin irritations and also provides an incredibly relaxing environment which is great to combat stress and anxiety.

BRONCHITIS

Clinical Definition of Bronchitis

Bronchitis is an inflammation of the air passages between the nose and the lungs, including the windpipe or trachea and the larger air tubes of the lung that bring air in from the trachea (bronchi). Bronchitis can either be of brief duration (acute)or have a long course (chronic). Acute bronchitis is usually caused by a viral infection, but can also be caused by a bacterial infection and can heal without complications. Chronic bronchitis is a sign of serious lung disease that may be slowed but cannot be cured. 

Symptoms

  • Cough

  • Production of mucus (sputum)

  • Fatigue

  • Shortness of breath

  • Slight fever and chills

  • Chest discomfort

How Does Salt Therapy Assist Bronchitis?

When small salt particles are inhaled via your airway they reduce inflammation. This reduction in inflammation reduces the production of mucous and in turn reduces congestion and mucous production. The salt also reduces the production of bacteria and viruses and aid in healing. If you are suffering from viral bronchitis check whether a private salt session is available until the contagious phase passes.

COPD

Clinical Definition of COPD

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a lung disease characterised by chronic obstruction of lung airflow that interferes with normal breathing and is not fully reversible. The more familiar terms ‘chronic bronchitis’ and ’emphysema’ are no longer used, but are now included within the COPD diagnosis.

Symptoms

  • Shortness of breath, especially during physical activities

  • Wheezing

  • Chest tightness

  • Having to clear your throat first thing in the morning, due to excess mucus in your lungs

  • A chronic cough that may produce mucus (sputum) that may be clear, white, yellow or greenish

  • Blueness of the lips or fingernail beds (cyanosis)

  • Frequent respiratory infections

  • Lack of energy

  • Unintended weight loss (in later stages)

  • Swelling in ankles, feet or legs

How Does Salt Therapy Assist COPD?

When small salt particles are inhaled via your airway they reduce inflammation and can often reduce the production of sputum by coating the cilia fibres with salt. This coating reduces the production of bacteria and inflammation which are often present in recurrent secondary respiratory infections. This reduction in inflammation often reducing the audible wheezing and can also reduce chest tightness.

CROUP

Clinical Definition of Croup

Croup, also known as laryngotracheobronchitis, is a type of respiratory infection that is usually caused by a virus. The infection leads to swelling inside the trachea, which interferes with normal breathing and produces the classic symptoms of “barking” cough, stridor, and a hoarse voice.

Symptoms

  • Difficulties breathing

  • Cold symptoms

  • Runny nose

  • Barking Cough

  • Fever

  • Sore throat

  • Hoarse voice

  • Loss of appetite

How Does Salt Therapy Assist Croup?

The warm environment provides relief from allergens that cause irritation to the airways. When small salt particles are inhaled via your airway they reduce inflammation. The salt also reduces the production of bacteria and viruses and aids in healing. A private salt room is recommended, please ask for private room availability.

PULMONARY FIBROSIS

Clinical Definition of Pulmonary Fibrosis

Pulmonary fibrosis is a lung disease that occurs when lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred. Pulmonary fibrosis scars and thickens the tissue around and between the air sacs (alveoli) in your lungs. This makes it more difficult for oxygen to pass into your bloodstream. This thickened, stiff tissue makes it more difficult for your lungs to work properly. As pulmonary fibrosis worsens, you become progressively more short of breath. The scarring associated with pulmonary fibrosis can be caused by a multitude of factors and can’t be repaired.

Symptoms

  • Shortness of breath (dyspnea)

  • A dry cough

  • Fatigue

  • Unexplained weight loss

  • Aching muscles and joints

  • Widening and rounding of the tips of the fingers or toes (clubbing)

How Does Salt Therapy Assist Pulmonary Fibrosis?

When small salt particles are inhaled via your airway they reduce inflammation and congestion of the scar tissue formation. Salt therapy reduces the production of bacteria and inflammation which are often present in secondary respiratory infections. This reduction in inflammation often reducing chest tightnes

SPORTS RECOVERY

How Salt Therapy assists athletes

Athletes push themselves and strive to achieve their peak performance. This level of activity places an enormous amount of pressure on the respiratory, immune and muscular system. Salt Therapy is a drug free therapy that can aid sports recovery and improve sports performance by reducing respiratory inflammation and allowing your body to recover and improve oxygen supply resulting in faster recovery. 

It is important to understand that salt therapy is not an alternative therapy, but a complimentary one. It can relieve and reduce symptoms of a condition and work in conjunction with existing medication.

Benefits

  • Cleanse the respiratory system of congestion and inflammation

  • Athletes will inhale oxygen deeper to their lungs

  • Maximise airflow and increase oxygen to the bloodstream increasing recovery

  • Improve immunity by reducing antibacterial particles

  • Relax to aid recovery from exercise activities

ECZEMA

Clinical Definition of Eczema 

Atopic dermatitis (eczema) is a condition that makes your skin red and itchy. It’s common in children but can occur at any age. Atopic dermatitis is long lasting (chronic) and tends to flare periodically and then subside. It may be accompanied by asthma or hay fever. Atopic dermatitis most often begins before age 5 and may persist into adolescence and adulthood. This is the common and chronic type of eczema. Other types include:

  • Contact dermatitis is caused by contact with irritants. Burning, itching, and redness occur. The inflammation goes away when the irritant is removed.

  • Dyshidrotic dermatitis affects fingers, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet. It causes itchy, scaly patches of skin that flake or become red, cracked, and painful. The condition is more common in women.

  • Nummular dermatitis causes dry, round patches of skin in the winter months. It usually affects the legs. It is more common in men.

  • Seborrheic dermatitis causes itchy, red, scaly rashes, particularly on the scalp, on the eyebrows, on the eyelids, on the sides of the nose, and behind the ears.

Symptoms

  • Severe itching, 

  • Red patches of skin

  • Inflamed and painful skin

  • Extremely dry, thickened, cracked or scaly skin

  • Raw, sensitive, swollen skin from scratching

How Does Salt Therapy Assist Eczema?

Salt therapy assists all ages and sufferers of eczema and increases the body’s ability to absorb microscopic salt particles via the skin. Salt is a natural antihistamine, antibacterial and anti inflammatory. Salt balances the body’s Ph levels and increases the regenerative process of the skin while reducing the localised inflammation. This stimulation increases skin elasticity and can result in improvements in the skin’s protective properties and increase the superficial bacterial flora (the good bacteria).

ASTHMA

Clinical Definition of Asthma

This respiratory condition is marked by attacks of spasm in the bronchi of the lungs, causing difficulty in breathing. Typically airways narrow and swell and produce extra mucus making breathing difficult.

Symptoms

  • breathlessness  

  • wheezing  

  • tight feeling in the chest

  • continuing cough

How Does Salt Therapy Assist Asthma?

Salt therapy assists all ages and sufferers of asthma to breathe in microscopic particles of pharmaceutical salt deep into the chest. Inhalation of the salt particles assists in reducing the inflammation and congestion of the mucosal lining of the airways. Reducing the inflammation will provide relief from coughing, wheezing and general tightness across the chest.

COLD AND FLU

Clinical Definition of Cold and Flu

The flu and the common cold are both respiratory illnesses but they are caused by different viruses. Because these two types of illnesses have similar symptoms, it can be difficult to tell the difference between them based on symptoms alone. Typically a cold is a viral infection of the upper respiratory system that primarily affects the upper respiratory system such as the nose, throat and upper chest. Influenza, commonly known as the flu

Symptoms

  • dry, hacking cough.

  • moderate to high fever, although not everyone with the flu will run a fever.

  • sore throat.

  • shaking chills.

  • severe muscle or body aches.

  • headache.

  • stuffy and runny nose.

  • severe fatigue that may last up to two weeks

  • ​

How Does Salt Therapy Assist Cold and Flu?

Inhaled salt particles assist in the reduction and the production of bacteria and viruses and aids in healing and recovery. The warm environment provides relief from allergens that cause irritation to the airways. When small salt particles are inhaled via your airway they reduce inflammation.. A private salt room is recommended while you are in the influenza contagious stages please enquire if the room is available for a private session

EMPHYSEMA 

Clinical Definition of Emphysema ​

Emphysema is a chronic lung disease caused by damage to the alveoli, the tiny air sacs in the lung where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place. With emphysema, damage to the alveoli results in air becoming trapped, causing them to expand and rupture.

Symptoms

  • Shortness of breath, Wheezing

  • Chest tightness or pain

  • A chronic cough that won’t go away

  • A chronic cough that may produce mucus (sputum)

How Does Salt Therapy Assist Emphysema?

The warm environment provides relief from allergens that cause irritation to the airways. 

Salt therapy assists via microscopic particles being inhaled deep into the chest. Inhalation of the salt particles reduce the inflammation and congestion of the mucosal lining of the airways and can often reduce the production of sputum by coating the cilia fibres with salt. This reduces the inflammation will provide relief from coughing, wheezing and general tightness across the chest.

HAY FEVER

Clinical Definition of Hay fever

Hay fever, also called allergic rhinitis, is caused by an allergic response to outdoor or indoor allergens, such as pollen, dust mites or tiny flecks of skin and saliva shed by cats, dogs and other animals with fur or feathers (pet dander).

Symptoms

  • Runny nose and nasal congestion

  • Watery, itchy, red eyes (allergic conjunctivitis)

  • Nasal congestion

  • Sneezing

  • Nasal and sinus pressure

  • Ear infections or effusions (fluid and inflammation)

  • Cough 

How Does Salt Therapy Assist Hay fever?

The warm environment provides relief from allergens that cause irritation to the airways while the salt is a natural antihistamine, antibacterial and anti inflammatory it will help alleviate the allergy. Inhalation of the salt particles reduce the inflammation while reducing congestion. This reduction of inflammation will provide relief from nasal congestion and pressure.

SINUSITIS

Clinical Definition of Sinusitis 

Sinusitis is an inflammation or swelling of the tissue lining the sinuses. Healthy sinuses are filled with air. But when they become blocked and filled with fluid, germs can grow and cause an infection.

Symptoms

  • Stuffy nose

  • Reduced sense of taste or smell

  • Headache

  • Fever

  • Tooth pain

  • Cough that produces mucous

  • Yellow or greenish discharge from the nose

  • Mucus running down the back of the throat

How Does Salt Therapy Assist Sinusitis?

Salt particles when inhaled via your airway they reduce inflammation and congestion along the nasal cavity and sinus cavities. Salt therapy reduces the production of bacteria and inflammation which are often present in sinusitis.

ACNE

Clinical Definition of Acne

Acne is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition that causes spots and pimples, especially on the face, shoulders, back, neck, chest, and upper arms.

Whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, cysts, and nodules are all types of acne.

It commonly occurs during puberty, when the sebaceous glands activate, but it can occur at any age. It is not dangerous, but it can leave skin scars.

The glands produce oil and are stimulated by male hormones produced by the adrenal glands in both males and females.

Here are some facts about acne. 

  • Acne is a skin disease involving the oil glands at the base of hair follicles.

  • It affects 3 in every 4 people aged 11 to 30 years.

  • It is not dangerous, but it can leave skin scars.

  • Treatment depends on how severe and persistent it is.

  • Risk factors include genetics, the menstrual cycle, anxiety and stress, hot and humid climates, using oil-based makeup, and squeezing pimples.

How Does Salt Therapy Assist Acne?

Salt therapy assists all ages and sufferers of acne and increases the body’s ability to absorb microscopic salt particles via the skin. Salt is a natural antihistamine, antibacterial and anti inflammatory. Salt balances the body’s Ph levels and increases the regenerative process of the skin while reducing the localised inflammation. This stimulation increases skin elasticity and can result in improvements in the skin’s protective properties and increase the superficial bacterial flora (the good bacteria).

PSORIASIS

Clinical Definition of Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a common and chronic skin condition that speeds up the life cycle of skin cells. It causes cells to build up rapidly on the surface of the skin. The extra skin cells form scales and red patches that are itchy and sometimes painful.

Symptoms

  • Red patches of skin covered with thick, silvery scales

  • Small scaling spots (commonly seen in children)

  • Dry, cracked skin that may bleed

  • Itching, burning or soreness

  • Thickened, pitted or ridged nails

  • Swollen and stiff joints
