Salt Therapy can bring much-needed relief for persons suffering from allergies and hay fever, because salt is known to be an anti-inflammatory.  It can remove pathogen agents or airborne pollen and reduces lgE levels which can cause oversensitivity of the immune system.

​

A visit to a salt room which operates a halogenerator, allows the client to breath in a saline aerosol generated by the machine using pharmaceutical grade sodium chloride which is dispersed into the room.

It is reported to help to:

• Alleviate sneezing, coughing and shortness of breath

• Strengthen the immune system

• Clear mucus and sticky phlegm from the lungs
