Halotherapy Machine

Halotherapy, also known as salt therapy, dates back to at least the 1800s. Studies of salt miners indicated that they had very few respiratory disorders compared to other types of mining and may have actually experienced respiratory benefits from the salt mines.
Some countries in Eastern Europe have salt caves where people visit specifically for halotherapy. This practice is not as common in the U.S., but there are other halotherapy or salt therapy options available, like a personal halotherapy machine.

Our respiratory functions not only provide oxygen throughout our bodies but also fight against harmful substances or pollutants that come into our bodies. Our respiratory systems fight things like diseases, bacteria, allergens, and other airborne particles, filtering them out to the best of its ability.

Inhaling dry salt particles via halotherapy can work to widen the air passages and reduce inflammation in the respiratory system. In a sense, halotherapy may clean your respiratory system so that it can function more effectively.

Here are some respiratory ailments that halotherapy could specifically benefit:

• COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
• Asthma
• Allergy conditions
• Bronchitis
• Adenotonsillar syndrome

Remember that this is not considered a cure but rather a treatment that can provide improved respiratory function and in turn potentially help with some of these respiratory-related issues.

In clinical trials and studies so far, there have been little to no side effects from the use of halotherapy. In general, halotherapy is considered safe for use as a preventive treatment, restorative healthcare, and overall wellness. It is not considered a cure to replace medical care.

Here are a few instances in which halotherapy is not recommended:

• Those suffering from contagious diseases
• A fever is present
• Open wounds are present
• Pregnant women (consult with doctor)
• Tuberculosis
• Mental disorders
• Cancer
• Severe hypertension
