HELP FOR ADULTS

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).

Symptoms Of Asthma

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

How The Salt Clinic Can Help

How Often Should You Attend?

Bronchiectasis

Bronchiectasis is an abnormal widening of the airways. Mucus is produced by the body and is prone to infection. The main symptom is a cough which produces sputum and leads to constant tiredness.

Treatment often includes regular physiotherapy and courses of antibiotics, which in some cases may be long term. Inhalers and even surgery are other options.
The severity of people’s symptoms can vary widely.
People with bronchiectasis can also have chronic sinusitis, which can often cause an increase in mucus from the nose. When this happens, recurring chest infections are common as excessive mucus is a perfect place for bacteria to multiply.

How The Salt Clinic Can Help

People who from suffer from bronchiectasis should consider Salt Therapy. It can bring much-needed relief and also prevents the frequency of symptoms occurring.

COPD

SYMPTOMS OF COPD

Sufferers have increasing breathlessness when exercising or moving around and a persistent cough with phlegm that never seems to go away. Also, frequent chest infections, particularly in winter.

MAIN CAUSES

Smoking - The primary risk factor for COPD is chronic smoking.

Occupational exposure - When people are subjected to intense and prolonged exposure to workplace dust it can contribute to the development of airflow obstruction, even in non-smokers.

Air pollution - Studies in many countries have found that people who live in large cities have a higher rate of COPD compared to people who live in rural areas.

COUGH

Coughs are incredibly common especially during winter months. It is one of the most common reasons for people to go and see their GP. A cough is a reflex action to clear your airways of mucus and irritants, foreign particles and microbes. Coughs can be dry or chesty. They usually clear up within two weeks.

DRY OR CHESTY COUGH

Dry and Tickly coughs are usually felt in the back of the throat as a tickle that starts you coughing. It happens when the throat and upper airways become inflamed. Both dry coughs and tickly coughs are known as non-productive coughs (no phlegm). A dry cough is most likely the result of infection by cold and flu viruses. Your brain thinks the inflammation in your throat and upper airways is a foreign object and tries to remove it by coughing. It can also be triggered by atmospheric pollutants (such as cigarette smoke) irritating your throat.

Chesty coughs (mucus coughs) are caused by an excessive amount of mucus in the chest. The cough is helpful because it clears mucus from your lungs. When common cold or flu viruses enter the respiratory system, mucus is produced to clear away the bacteria and help to fight infection. This increased mucus can gather in the respiratory system and a cough reflex is triggered to help remove the extra phlegm.

Salt Therapy helps treat swelling, inflammation, excessive mucus and bacterial infection. As a result of Salt Therapy, inflammation and mast cell response within the bronchi reduces, so the quality and function of breathing improves. Thanks to the desensitisation of the immune response, sleep patterns will improve and acute attacks and the need for medication will substantially decrease. This means that you will have more energy, become stronger and more resilient to every day infections.

ECZEMA / PSORIASIS

Eczema is a highly individual condition which varies from person to person and comes in many different forms, but is not contagious. In mild cases, the skin is dry, scaly, red and itchy. In more severe cases there may be weeping, crusting and bleeding. Constant scratching causes the skin to split and bleed and leaves it open to infection.

Psoriasis can start at any age, but most often develops in adults under 35 years old. When a person has psoriasis, their skin replacement process will speed up and it takes just a few days to replace skin cells that usually take 21-28 days. This overproduction of skin cells builds up to form raised ‘plaques’ on the skin.

How It Works

Salt has many beneficial properties including:

During a session, clients breathe in the dry, salt-enriched air into the lungs, the salt is so fine it reaches deep into the lungs and begins to reduce inflammation, kill bacteria and loosens phlegm, which begins to clear rapidly so clients have more lung capacity. The salt will also have anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effect on the skin whilst reducing your IgE levels and your sensitivity to allergies. Salt therapy can help to:
