GET RELIEF FOR A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE.
COPD
Illnesses associated with COPD:
• COPD is the overall term used to describe a variety of illnesses such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema and chronic obstructive airways disease.
• In chronic bronchitis excess mucus is made in the airways. This increases restriction of the airways.
• Emphysema causes the alveoli to become over inflated due to lower elasticity levels. The pressure of coughing causes them to burst and lose function. This can lead to breathlessness.
How salt therapy works?
Dry sodium chloride particles are released from a halogenerator into the salt chamber.
Particles are 1-5 micrometers in size allowing them to travel to all sections of the respiratory tract as you breathe: from the trachea to alveoli.
The Sodium chloride particles are negatively charged. The inner surfaces of the airways have a positive charge meaning the particles settle more intensely.
This normalises mucocellular clearance: the salt particles loosen up mucus within the respiratory tracts allowing it to exit the body.
It has antibacterial effects as it inhibits the growth of bacteria due to osmosis: it dries out the bacteria so they are no longer living.
It provides anti-inflammatory effects.
It reduces bronchial hypertension: by allowing the lumen to widen and allowing blood to flow at ease due to improved gaseous exchange.
General lung function is improved.
The salt treatment will help with:
Clearing mucus from the airways; reducing airway obstruction. As well as reducing the chance of infection.
Relieving inflammation and congestion of the airways.
The bactericidal effects will help build up your immune system and improve your resistance to respiratory infections.
Reduces bronchial hyper-responsiveness.
Overall better lung function and improved breathing.
What to expect after your first experience:
A runny nose.
More intense coughing (the mucus needs to exit the system once it has been loosened).
You will be able to breathe easier within a few hours or days.
If you see no immediate difference, you will notice a difference after a few days or sessions.
Remember to be patient with yourself; no miracle therapy will cure you in just one session.
What to expect during a block of sessions:
Symptoms can worsen from time to time but after this period you will start to feel much better.
You will notice a decrease in the amount of use you need from an inhaler and other drugs. Please consult your doctor before decreasing your medication.
Amount of antibiotics needed over the course of a year can rapidly decrease.

HAY FEVER & ALLERGIES
How the body fights allergens?
The army of IgE antibodies attacks and engages the invading army of allergic substances of allergens.
As is often the case in war, innocent bystanders are affected in battle. These innocent bystanders are special cells called mast cells. These cells are frequently injured during the warring of the IgE antibodies and the allergic substances.
When a mast cell is injured, it releases a variety of strong chemicals into the tissues and blood, one of which is known as histamine. These chemicals frequently cause allergic reactions. These chemicals are very irritating and cause itching, swelling, and fluid leaking from cells. Through various mechanisms, these allergic chemicals can cause muscle spasm and can lead to lung and throat tightening as is found in asthma and loss of voice.

Salt is a natural antihistamine.
It lowers IgE levels in your body. This is the antibody which stimulates the release of histamines and causes the symptoms associated with allergies.
The salt treatment will help with:
Bronchial mucosa before and after Salt Therapy
Clearing mucus from the sinuses and airways; reducing airway obstruction. As well as reducing the chance of infection.
Providing anti-inflammatory effects.
There are bactericidal (anti-bacterial) effects so again this will help cure infection as well as preventing any further infection.
Lowers IgE levels so amount of histamine released by cells is reduced.
Salt is a natural anti-histamine so prevents the symptoms associated with histamine release as with hay fever and other allergies.
It provides a cleansing affect on your skin.
Overall better breathing and clearer airways.
What to expect during a block of sessions:
15 - 20 sessions are recommended for the best results.
The sessions should be frequent to start; about 2 - 3 times a week is suggested.
Infections should start to clear up within a few sessions.
Amount of antibiotics needed over the course of a year can rapidly reduce.
In most patients, after a course of Salt Therapy symptoms disappear.

ECZEMA & PSORIASIS
How salt therapy works?
Salt Therapy is a clinically proven natural, safe and beneficial method of treatment for every age group.
Internally, Salt Therapy helps to lower the IgE level, a measure of antibodies which is often high in people with allergies. Salt Therapy helps to lower this level, meaning the immune system does not over-react to try to deal with the problem. By reducing the IgE levels the body’s natural PH levels are restored.
It has antibacterial effects as it inhibits the growth of bacteria due to osmosis: it dries out the bacteria so they are no longer living.
On the outside of the body, it reduces inflammation on the skin and improves circulation on the skin surface.
Particles of the dry salt aerosol kill bacteria and fungi and cleanse the skin and respiratory tract of allergens like pollen, dust or mould which trigger the condition.
After a few sessions, the itching sensation on the skin decreases, cracks heal and rashes disappear.
How often should you come?
15 - 20 sessions are recommended for the best results.
The sessions should be frequent to start; about 2 - 3 times a week is suggested.
In most patients, after a course of Salt Therapy symptoms disappear. The treatment's efficacy is estimated at 75-98%.
Top ups may be required from time to time if flare-ups occur.

SALT THERAPY
HOW IT WORKS
All you need to do is sit back, relax and breathe naturally. Salt therapy is a drug free treatment which reproduces the natural micro-climate of a salt cave. It does this by dispersing dry salt in high concentrations into a salt room whose surfaces are also layered with salt. These tiny salt micro-particles are inhaled and penetrate deep into the lungs, airways and skin to help relieve congestion, inflammation and skin irritations.
