Benefits/Side Effects of Salt
as an Allergy Treatment

I suffer from sleep apnea. After my first visit I went home that night and didn’t use the sleep machine to see if the session helped. It did, and I was able to sleep for 4 hours without the machine. I snored but it wasn’t a gasping for air type of snore — it was a light snore and it has been this way for the last two nights. I would recommend the Salt Room for anyone suffering from sleep apnea or snoring. I will definitely be back on my next visit to Orlando. — Flora from Punta Gorda, FL

How The Salt Room Can Help Your Allergies

The Salt Room has been specifically constructed to help allergy sufferers relieve their symptoms and feel better in a safe, peaceful environment that feels more like a spa than a high-tech treatment facility.

Many Americans suffer from allergies. It is estimated that approximately 50 million have allergies or allergy symptoms. Allergies are particularly prevalent in Florida and it is a common health complaint among Orlando-area residents.

Prescription drugs bring temporary relief but the allergy may recur again—and again. If you are suffering from allergies, you should strongly consider halotherapy. It will not only bring much needed relief but it also prevents frequent the recurrence of your allergy symptoms.

Salt Therapy Has Been Proven to Help Alleviate Allergies

Salt therapy at The Salt Room provides allergy relief by widening the airways of the respiratory tract. The micro particles of salt reach into every area in the lungs and destroy bacteria. This helps to reduce the inflammation of the respiratory tract and clear the blockages in the bronchi and bronchioles. The humidification and fluidization of the bronchial secretions brings relief from bronchospasm and helps relieve asthma.

If you are suffering from allergy symptoms, salt therapy will help decrease the swelling of the “nasal mucosa” which causes nasal blockage. The airway passage of the nose will be widened and the sinuses drained…bringing relief.

How Allergy Treatment at The Salt Room Works

Salt Therapy at the Salt Room in Orlando brings to you the natural microclimate found in salt caves and mines in a controlled environment. The temperature, humidity and the sodium chloride flow is constantly monitored so that the patient receives the right dosage. The best part of this therapy is that the patient will also enjoy it.

The experience is similar to visiting a spa. You will be taken to the halochamber. The walls and floor of this therapeutic chamber are coated with salt. Here you will just relax listening to soothing music and breathing naturally.

Dry sodium chloride aerosol containing particles of 1-5 um in size is produced and pushed into this room by a halogenerator. The halogenerator is also equipped with a microprocessor which is responsible for keeping a check on the temperature, relative humidity and mass concentration of aerosol in the chamber.

In order to treat allergies, the environment is saturated with dry sodium chloride aerosol at a mass concentration varying from 1-16 mg/m3 with a particle size of 1-5 um. A team of sophisticated halospecialists are there to lend a helping hand. If you are a patient of bronchial asthma or allergic cough your coughing may increase after 3-4 sessions of halotherapy. However, this is a part of the treatment and it will eventually subside after a few more sessions.

Allergy Symptoms Salt Therapy Can Help With

Allergic rhinitis (or nasal allergies) affects about 35 million Americans including 6 million children. And asthma troubles 15 million Americans including 5 million children.

What do we mean by allergy? It is a reaction of a person’s immune system to something that does not affect other people. Allergy is caused by harmless substances called allergens which provoke an exaggerated reaction from your body. Allergens may be in the form of pollens, dust mites, mold spores, pet dander, food, insect stings or even medicines. Symptoms are displayed when your eyes, nose, lungs or skin are exposed to allergens. Allergy symptoms vary. It can cause allergic conjunctivitis, itchiness, and runny nose, sneezing, rashes, swelling.

Inhaled allergens can lead to an asthmatic attack as a result of narrowing of airways and an increase in the amount of mucus in the lungs. In some cases allergy can even prove fatal. You should see your doctor to determine which substances you are allergic to. Tests are conducted by pricking the skin. Allergy treatment consists of avoidance of allergens and use of anti-histamines, steroids or other oral medications. They bring temporary relief but many of them have adverse side affects which can harm you in the long run.
