Salt air inhalation therapy is a holistic drug free way to ease symptoms of many common respiratory ailments such as allergies, sinuitis, asthma, bronchitis COPD, cystic fibrosis and even the common cold. The salty atmosphere of the deep salt caves within the Himalayan Mountains have been used for centuries for their health promoting effects. Their mineral rich content is beneficial for improving skin conditions, digestive disorders, and inflammatory conditions such as arthralgias (joint pains) and much much more. Spending 45 minutes in the salt cave is the equivalent of approximately one full week at the ocean. It’s proven that when inflammation is reduced systemically and breathing is enhanced, the result is a more restful and restorative sleep, and the net effect is an overall sense of improved well being.
