Salt therapy provides you with a drug-free treatment which will not only bring you relief from your bronchitis but also prevent frequent occurrence of the disease. How does salt therapy at The Salt Room cure your bronchitis?
How Salt Therapy Helps Bronchitis Sufferers
If you are suffering from bronchitis, you will be taken to a special treatment room with walls and floor coated with rock salt. All you have to do is relax and breathe normally. The Salt Room’s atmosphere is so pleasant that often children who are suffering from bronchitis play in the “halochamber” completely oblivious that they are being treated. The halochamber is equipped with special equipment which produces dry sodium chloride aerosol containing particles of 1-5 um in size. It ensures a flow of clean dry salt saturated air into the chamber. The halogenerator has a special built-in computer which monitors and maintains the temperature, relative humidity and mass of aerosol in the chamber. The temperature in the salt therapy room varies between 68-78 degrees Fahrenheit. Humidity ranges from 40-50%. Negative ions in the salt particles help strengthen the body’s defense and make it more resistant to disease.
When the bronchitis patient inhales air in The Salt Room’s treatment area, aerosolized micro particles around 10 microns in diameter are caught in the upper respiratory tract. These particles are then evicted by the mucociliary system. However, micro particles which are less than 5 microns, penetrate into every corner of the bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli and deposit upon the surface. These particles help in reducing the viscosity of the mucus and help the bronchitis sufferer. Besides restoring the normal mucociliary flow, salt therapy also cleanses your airways by removing mucus, pathogens and debris.
Scientific Evidence of Salt Therapy’s Impact on Bronchitis
If you suffer from bronchitis, salt therapy will provide relief by expelling the mucus clogging the bronchi. Coughing up sputum also becomes easier. Children suffering from asthmatic bronchitis will be able to breathe more easily as salt therapy humidifies and fluidizes the bronchial secretions in the bronchial tree. The drainage function of the respiratory tract undergoes a drastic improvement. Salt therapy also snuffs out bacteria and kills virus reducing your infection. After 7-15 sessions your airways are clear, your coughing decreases and you can breathe easily. Most bronchitis patients also have a cold. Salt therapy treats your cold by opening your nasal airways.
Clinical studies have proved the effectiveness of salt therapy as practiced at The Salt Room in Orlando. Researchers tested 188 patients with asthma, bronchitis, and mucoviscidosis [cystic fibrosis], with 49 matched controls on placebo (Chervinskaya, A.V. et al., 2002). 104 patients of the treatment group received 12-20 60-minute sessions of halochamber therapy; 84 received 12-20 15-minute sessions of halotherapy from a desktop inhalation device. Approximately 85% of the patients reported marked improvement and improvement of health. In another case study, 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 Halotherapy. The patients were examined 6 and 12 months after the first HT course.
