Asthma

What is Asthma?

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition of the airways.it affects the tubs that carry air in and out of the lungs. During an Asthma attack the muscles in the airways tighten causing the airways to become narrow and the lining of the airways swells and produces sticky mucus. These changes, create less space for the air to flow freely in and out of the lungs, making breathing very difficult. Asthma attacks are caused by an over sensitivity of the lungs to a certain “trigger” and the airways become inflamed as a result of it.

Tight feeling in the chest
Wheezing – whistling noise when breathing
Shortness of breath

These symptoms are often worse at night, in the early morning or during exercise.

Salt therapy helps relieve the symptoms of asthma in a 100% natural non- invasive way. Sitting in the Salt Rooms exposes you to tiny salt particles that cleanse and detoxify the respiratory system. The particles enter the upper airways and lower areas of the respiratory system by breathing normally in the Salt Rooms.1. Salt has a natural ability to absorb, and holds a natural anti-bacterial, anti – inflammatory and anti-histamine properties. These help to:

Kill germs and bacteria that cause inflammation and production of mucus
Break up mucus, relieve congestion and inflammation in the whole respiratory system.
Strengthening the immune system allowing ventilation system to improve that even when there is a reaction, it will reduce the symptoms to simply a runny nose or sneezing instead of an asthma attack
Reduce need and/or use of medications.

2. Our Salt rooms contain an abundance of Negative Ions. The Healing Properties of Negative Ions have been researched and documented since the early 1900’s here are some of the benefits they hold:

Killing viruses, bacteria and allergens– Negative ion are proven to clear the air of dust, pollen, pet dander, mould spores and other potential allergens and significantly decrease airborne viruses and bacteria.
Relaxation, calmness and better sleep – by promoting abundant oxygen levels in the blood, negative ions help normalize brain function, resulting in relaxation, calmness and better sleep.
