A Toothbrush for the Respiratory System
We are exposed to toxins, pollutants, bacteria, allergens, and airborne diseases daily through the air we breathe. To aid in cleaning this build-up of “gunk”, salt therapy works by releasing dry micro-particles of salt into the air. These dry salt particles are quite absorbent which allows them to attract those foreign contaminants, cleansing the airways as it is inhaled, and then exhaled. Not to mention, salt is also anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-viral which further facilitates the promotion of healthy lungs to help you breathe freely.
Salt may alleviate symptoms from:
Asthma
Allergies
COPD
Common cold
Cystic fibrosis
Upper respiratory infections
Smoker’s cough
Immunity Booster
The immune system directly benefits from salt ridding the respiratory system of its build up of contaminants. While the salt acts as a toothbrush for airways, it also has anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties which helps to prevent illness. In addition, the peaceful environment of most salt rooms, caves, and booths is linked to lowered stress levels. When stressed, the body has a difficult time fighting off infections and maintaining its circadian rhythm. Lack of sleep can then hinder a speedy recovery after attaining an illness. Thus, salt therapy discourages the presence of pesky antigens and encourages relaxation to help you live freely.
Skin Care Catalyst
Salt does wonders for your largest organ, the skin! The skin has a hefty job as it’s your body’s first line of defense- responsible for protecting the entire body and maintaining homeostasis. Salt assists in the reduction of redness and restoration of hydration. As salt lands on the skin it begins to regulate the pH level, replenish lost minerals, and draw out dirt, oil, and toxins. This helps to repair the skin and further protect it from infection and even aging.

Rosacea
