Asthma and Salt Therapy

What is Asthma?

Asthma is a chronic lung disease which causes your airways to swell (inflame), making it harder to breathe. For those who have asthma, Salt Therapy can not only bring much-needed relief but also prevent the frequent recurrence of your symptoms.

Asthma can have many different triggers including allergies (pet hair, pollen, dust mites), cold or dry air, exercise or other respiratory infections.

Symptoms can include wheezing, chest pain, trouble breathing and coughing.

How does salt therapy help asthma?

Salt has many natural medicinal properties. You may have seen on the NHS website it advises you to gargle with salt water if you have a sore throat.

Salt is naturally:

An anti-inflammatory

Immune boosting

Anti-bacterial

Is a dehydrator

Anti-viral

Is a detoxifier

A natural antihistamine

When your asthma is triggered and you experience an attack, this is your airways become inflamed. It is this that causes the tightening feeling in your chest and your inability to get a decent lungful of air.

With salt being a natural anti-inflammatory, the tiny microparticles are breathed deep into your respiratory tract and lungs and help to ease inflammation, which results in you feeling like you can breathe much easier.

How does it work?

All you have to do is sit back on recliner chairs in our softly lit salt rooms, enjoying the relaxing music and candles and breathe in the tiny microparticles of salt that our specialist machines release into the room.

These will travel deep into your airways and lungs and help ease inflammation and clear any bacteria or virus lurking, also helping to give your lungs a good detox.

Your first session is half price at £16, and our monthly packages mean you can enjoy sessions for just £8.25 each.
