Asthma
The respiratory system contains bronchi (small tubes carrying air in and out of the lungs) which can become inflamed and more sensitive than usual in people who suffer with Asthma. When a person with Asthma comes into contact with something that irritates their lungs, the airways narrow and the muscles around them tighten, there is also an increase in the production of sticky mucus (phlegm).

Wheezing (high-pitched whistling sounds when breathing out)
-
Cough, worse particularly at night
-
Difficulty in breathing

Chest tightness
How The Salt Clinic Can Help
For people suffering from asthma, Salt Therapy can not only bring much-needed relief, but also prevent the frequent recurrence of your symptoms. Prescription drugs such as inhalers provide a short-term fix, leaving the underlying problem unchanged once an attack has passed.
Salt Therapy is different because:
-
Kill bacteria (the salt dries out germs and bacteria in your respiratory system)
-
It is Anti-Inflammatory (Based on clinical studies the dry, saline-diffused air reduces inflammation in the whole respiratory tract)
-
It has Mucolytic effects (loosens excessive mucus, speeds the elimination of toxins)
-
Removes pathogen agents (airborne pollen)
-
Strengthens the immune system and restores energy levels
-
It reduces IgE levels (the immune system won’t over-react to asthma/allergy triggers)
As a result of Salt Therapy, inflammation and mast cell response within the bronchi reduces and the quality and function of breathing improves. Thanks to the desensitization of the immune response, sleep patterns will improve and acute attacks and the need for medication will substantially decrease. This means the child will have more energy to play or exercise and become stronger and more resilient to every day infections.
