"When fine salt particles are inhaled, they will fall on the airway linings and draw water into the airway, thinning the mucus and making it easier to raise, thus making people feel better. Also, these environments are allergen-free and thus good for people with allergies affecting their lungs." said Dr. Norman Edelman, Senior Scientific Advisor to the American Lung Association.

Salt kills certain types of bacteria by drawing out water or fluid. These bacteria can otherwise cause inflammation. Without water or fluid, these bacteria cannot survive.

In a salt room environment, a salt generator grinds and releases salt particles into the air. These microscopic salt particles help to clear the respiratory tract and maximise its therapeutic effects. It bolsters the respiratory tract which is the body’s first line defence for the immune system and produces a host of benefits.

Salt Therapy History

In 1843 Dr. Felix Bochkowsky, a Polish doctor, noticed men working in the salt mines tended to look younger, had clearer skin and seemed to be cleared of respiratory issues.

He continued to study the effects of prolonged exposure to salt and published his findings in 1843. He also established the world’s first health facility in Poland for respiratory disorders and general well-being.
