A Natural (Drug-Free) Remedy for Asthma, Sinusitis, Hayfever and other Respiratory Illnesses

What is The Salt Cave?

It is a speleoclimatic chamber at our clinic in Johannesburg, South Africa where we reproduce the microclimate of a natural Salt Cave using a special medical device.

How does it treat asthma and other respiratory illnesses?

1. Patients sit in a comfortable chair in our spacious cave like room for an hour (one session), listening to relaxation music and breathe normally.

2. Negative ionized tiny salt particles get into the respiratory system; they can even reach the deepest part of the lung (alveoli).

3. Based on clinical studies, the inhaled dry saline aerosol reducing inflammation in the whole respiratory tract, absorbing edema from the mucosa lining the airway passages leading to widening of the airway passages, restoring the normal transport of mucus and unclog blockages in the bronchi and bronchioles leading to rapid elimination of the residual tar and foreign allergens

4. Patients feel their respiratory system clean again. It can improve the quality of patients’ life, reducing the antibiotics and corticoids or steroids intake, reducing the rate of annual hospitalizations and decrease the frequency of asthma attacks.

5. Salt therapy is a natural method of therapy beneficial for every age group.

Salt (Halo)Therapy performed in The Salt Cave

Salt Therapy is a DRUG-FREE high dispersion saline aerosol microclimate treatment. It is a therapeutic method based on the principle of natural Salt Cave ’s microclimate, which is prolonged exposure to the specific microclimate of caves, salt mines. It is a method where dry salt aerosol plays an important role in the relief of health problems and is used for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, asthma, sinusitis and other respiratory problems. This is the only method which eliminates the disadvantages of existing healing options.
Salt Therapy performed in The Salt Cave is a drug free treatment method. While modern pharmaceuticals provide effective relief from chronic diseases, there are serious side effects associated with repeated or prolonged use. Continuous drug therapy is associated with the possible development of allergic or toxic reactions, development of antibiotic tolerant species of microorganisms, spreading of dysbiosis and long term immune system destruction. It is a natural remedy for congested airways, cough, sleepless nights due to asthma attacks and other symptoms. Our patients normally stop using their antibiotics, corticosteroid, inhalers, antihistamine and other drugs. Not because we ask them but because they become symptomless.

 Mechanism of Action

The microclimate is created with a Breeze Tronic Pro medical device in an artificial Salt Cave – the salt is milled and properly mixed with a current of air that is dispersed to create a suitable microenvironment. The Salt Therapy uses natural salt in a controlled microenvironment (aerosol particle size, concentrations, temperature, humidity are controlled). This is similar to a natural Salt Cave environment with the necessary environmental controls to attain the beneficial therapy results. The dry-salt enriched air is dispersed into the treatment room. The size of the particles is similar to cigarette smoke, it is hardly noticeable and is easily inhaled with the natural breathing.
The healing is based on the salt healing agent's interaction with the respiratory system terminals, which provide a clinically proved positive effect.
This guarantees delivery of the healing benefits of the dry-salt where it is mostly needed – deep in the lower lungs.
Once in place it dissolves and attracts the small impurities which are later coughed up by the patient or leave the organism during the metabolic processes of the bloodstream. The treatment eliminates the basis of all inflammatory respiratory illnesses (of all infections of the lower or upper respiratory tract, asthma, bronchitis, catarrh of allergy) by destroying bacteria and restoring health. The microclimate environment is established in a comfortable furnished Salt Cave like room.

Salt Therapy has beneficial effects in the treatment of:

Asthma

Asthma is a respiratory disease from which one suffers attacks of suffocation. At the onset of this disease, allergic mechanisms play a central role. As the asthma persists, the more severe is the bronchial system's reaction. In time, the attacks can even occur without any allergenic influence. In some cases, chronic lack of water, severe psychological problems, and prior viral and bacterial infection of the bronchi was the cause of developing asthma. The sterile, pure air of The Salt Cave, along with the ability of the aerosolized micro particles of salt to penetrate into the bronchi and kill bacteria and viruses, salt therapy has proven to be beneficial for asthma. Based on clinical studies, the inhaled salty air has bactericide, mucokinetic, hydrophilic, anti-inflammatory properties, reducing inflammation in the whole respiratory tract, absorbing edema from the mucosa lining the airway passages leading to widening of the airway passages, restoring the normal transport of mucus and unclog blockages in the bronchi and bronchioles leading to rapid elimination of the residual tar and foreign allergens, all of these in a natural process.

Please do not stop taking any medication without first consulting with your physician.

Hay fever

Inhalation of salt aerosol is clinically proven to cleanse the respiratory system of the human body and to speed up the elimination of toxins. The size of the particles is the same as in natural Salt Caves — 1-5 μm. These so-called breathable particles penetrate into the bronchial tree in the form of finest crystals. Dry saline aerosol works as a “bronchial brush” for the airways.

Bronchitis, Chronic Bronchitis

Often a common cold can be followed by bronchitis, which can take up to several weeks to recede.
Chronic bronchitis is especially found among smokers. The associated cough can be dry, spasmodic, or with phlegm. With phlegm, viruses, bacteria, and pollutants are being expelled. It is especially important to drink lots of water with bronchitis to loosen up the phlegm, making it easier to be expelled. Halotherapy can significantly support and accelerate the recovery process.

Nervousness, Poor Concentration, Sleeping Disorders, ADHD

Salt has the natural ability to balance the positive charge by binding the excessive positive ions with its negative ions. Therefore, the neutralizing forces of salt can cancel out positive charged harmful electromagnetic vibrations in our environment (electro-smog), as well as in our body. Hence, salt therapy has de-stressing, relaxing effects; it is beneficial for calming the nervous system.

Unhealthy Skin, Acne, Eczema

The skin is the mirror to our internal body and foremost, our intestines. Skin irritations and eczema appearing around the neckline, on the face, especially around the mouth area, always indicate a disrupted intestinal flora. The body cannot eliminate the toxins and excretes them through the skin.
A change of diet, together with a colon cleanse, is necessary to eliminate the cause. At the same time it is also important to drink plenty of living, spring water, low in minerals, in order to flush out the waste material. The salt therapy will miraculously support this process!

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a genetically inherited disease and usually doesn't manifest until adulthood. The accelerated growth of the topical layer of skin forms red spots, which are usually covered with a thick layer of white flakes. Normally, it takes 28 days for our epidermal layer to be fully replaced, the time it takes for the deep skin cells to move through to the top layer. For people suffering from psoriasis, this process only happens in 4 days. This can also cause severe itching. The fact that it is considered a genetically inherited disease, does not rule out the possibility for complete healing the disorder. An alkaline-forming, vegan diet, in combination with halotherapy can perform wonders!

Snoring

Salt Therapy can also reduce snoring and activate better sleep by clearing the airway  passages in the oropharyngeal region. Edema of the nasal mucosa and the oropharynx and soft palate, causing nasal obstruction and snoring, can be diminished by inhaling the salt aerosol, leading to widening of the airway passage in the nose and the tubes of the sinuses. By this, halotherapy can help with improving the sinus drainage and reducing snoring.

Ear Infections

In the auditory tube, edema of the Eustachian tube causing ear infection, can be diminished by the aerosolized salt particles, leading to widening of the airway passages, better drainage and better aeration behind the tympanic membrane.

Other Health Conditions Halotherapy can be applied for:

·                       Long acute diseases of the upper airways

·                       Chronic diseases of the airways

·                       Chronic pharyngitis

·                       Chronic tonsillitis or inflammation of the tonsils

·                       Chronic maxillary sinusitis

·                       Chronic inflammation of the pharyngeal tonsil

·                       Relapsing pneumonia

·                       Chronic and acute otitis

·                       Frequent viral infections

·                       Polinosis or hay rhinitis

·                       Atopic dermatitis

·                       Putrid dermal infection

·                       COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)

·                       Cystic Fibrosis

Pharmacologic Treatments

Nowadays powerful development of pharmacology and industrial production of medicines encourages growth of treatment by medication. Simplicity of application, availability and rapid effect give priority to pharmacotherapy. However, along with their therapeutic effect, medicines can cause pathologic conditions that are associated with side effects.

Many allergic conditions and autoimmune processes are caused by medicines. Furthermore, treatment by medication does not restore our own body's defense mechanisms.  This point of view makes physicians turn back to the experience of natural healing factors and carry out investigations in order to find medication-free treatment methods.

Drug-Free Salt Therapy

Clinically proven complementary/alternative treatment which appears to successfully address the needs of a person diagnosed with sinusitis is dry saline aerosol inhalation, also known as Salt Therapy performed in an our artificial Salt Cave.

Salt Therapy Background

A few significant years of the history of Salt Therapy:

·                       Speleotherapy treatment discovered in 1843

·                       Medical device developed in 1989

·                       Speleotherapy clinic established in Toronto in 2001

·                       The Salt Cave clinic established in London in 2008

Hypertonic saline aerosol inhalation treatment or Salt Therapy is clinically proven:

·                       To clear mucus from the airways thus removing airflow obstruction

·                       To enhance mucociliary clearance mechanism in both asthmatic and healthy subjects

·                       To balance airway-surface liquid

·                       To provide anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects

·                       To reduce bronchial hyperresponsiveness

·                       To improve lung function

·                       To help clear unwanted inhaled particles from lungs

Salt Therapy helps treat all major processes acting in the bronchi: swelling, inflammation, excessive mucus and bacterial infection. Salt is known for its bactericidal effect. Nowadays, salt is even used in swimming pools instead of chlorine to kill bacteria. Salt Therapy is also very effective in killing bacteria found in the mucus.

In most patients, after a course of Salt Therapy, airways become normal and symptoms disappear.

Efficiency rate of Salt Therapy treatment

The clinical state of 85% of the patients with mild and moderate bronchial asthma, 75 % with severe bronchial asthma, 98%- with chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis and cystic fibrosis improved after Salt Therapy. The patients were examined 6 and 12 months after the first Salt Therapy course.

Here are some of the many benefits you could discover after Salt Therapy treatments:

·                       Breath easier after just a few sessions

·                       Alleviate sneezing, coughing, and shortness of breath

·                       Decrease your dosage of prescription medications, or even stop taking medications altogether

·                       Better handle triggers that provoke respiratory illnesses

·                       Prolong remission times

·                       Feel revitalized

·                       Improve general health and quality of life
