Christine Webb of Central Florida 13 News has written an article about the role that salt therapy can have on helping people with allergies.
She describes the case of Tish Webster, a yoga instructor who suffered from hayfever and severe allergies to dust ever since she was a little girl. When you she tried salt therapy, she experienced almost immediate results:
“When I first went in to the Salt Cave, I noticed an immediate difference from going in. My breathing capacity was much better. After three sessions I noticed first thing in the morning I wasn’t congested like I normally am.”
Web emphasizes that while salt therapy has been found to be helpful to patients all over the world, it doesn’t replace the need for steroids for asthma (and should instead be used as a compliment to your doctor prescribed regimen).
