An overview of Salt Therapy



People losing trust in medical treatments
Pertaining to the perilous consequences and side effects associated with the conventional medical treatments, people are losing their trust and interest in these methods. Thus, they are looking for alternative treatment procedures that include use of herbal supplements and natural therapies. These treatments are generally non-invasive and drug free and are not associated with any kinds of side effects or unwanted long term consequences.

Halotherapy or Salt therapy – an alternative treatment for various health problems
Halotherapy and other natural treatment methods are on the rise as people are seeking for alternative treatments. This therapy involves exposing the patient to an environment containing sea salt in a controlled amount. The person just has to sit in the environment and inhale the salt present in the air, on the floor and in the walls of a salt chamber or an underground salt mine. This method of treating some of the deadliest diseases is being used for hundreds of years.

Presently, this therapy is being used in a number of countries around the world for the treatment of patients. Salt therapy clinics have been established that provide a salt rich micro climate for the patients and are as good as the natural salt mines. Inhaling in such an environment with negatively charged salt particles will result into clearing of the lungs, releasing bronchial inflammation, treating skin disorders and allergies, strengthening of the immune system and also releasing the negative feelings of anxiety and depression. The therapy is used for treating diseases like asthma, arthritis, bronchitis, respiratory issues, insomnia, stress, fatigue, cystic fibrosis and many others.

The best thing about this therapy is that it does not involve the use of any kind of drugs and medications and thus it is painless and free from any kinds of side effects. It is just like receiving the benefits of a relaxing meditation session sitting in an environment that is benefitting you with every breath.
