Halotherapy Benefits
Breathing in the dry salt air during a Halotherapy session is thought to have an antiinflammatory effect on the respiratory system. It is also thought to be antibacterial, and to aid the body in expelling mucus and toxins. Therefore (according to the Salt Therapy Association) conditions such as the following may see improvement upon utilizing Halotherapy as a complementary treatment on a regular basis:
- Coughs, colds, flu
- Asthma
- Bronchitis
- Sinusitis
- Seasonal allergies
- COPD
- Emphysema
As breathing improves, some find snoring and sleeping issues to also improve. Others report renewed energy.
As the micronized salt particles not breathed in will fall onto exposed skin and penetrate one or two layers deep, Halotherapy is also extremely effective for skin issues such as:
- Acne
- Psoriasis
- Eczema
