Symptoms of Emphysema Salt Therapy Can Help With
Emphysema is a disease affecting the lungs. It is considered a part of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD. In pulmonary emphysema patients, the tissues of the lungs are destroyed gradually leading to failure of the lungs and eventually death. One of the primary causes of emphysema is cigarette smoking. It can also be caused by enzyme deficiency and exposure to pollution.
The most prominent symptom of emphysema is difficulty in breathing which gets worse with the passage of time. Other symptoms include loose cough and tightness of chest. Another type of emphysema is subcutaneous emphysema which occurs when gas or air is present in the subcutaneous layer of the skin. Emphysema symptoms include sore throat, neck pain, difficulty in swallowing, wheezing and difficulty in breathing. Anticholinergics, bronchodilators, steroid medication (inhaled or oral), and supplemental oxygen are used to treat the disease. However, many of these medications have harmful side effects.

The Salt Room in Orlando, Florida has been designed to help rhinitis sufferers relieve their symptoms and feel better in a safe, peaceful environment that feels more like a spa than a high tech treatment facility.
Halotherapy is a Drug Free Solution for Rhinitis
Rhinitis (commonly known as hay fever) is one of the most prevalent illnesses in the US and affects more than 20% of the population. Though rhinitis doesn’t pose a serious threat, it can bring your life to a standstill. Prescription drugs help ease your symptoms, but without treating the root cause they may recur after a short span of time. Halotherapy is a drug-free non-invasive treatment that treats and prevents rhinitis by addressing the source of the condition.
Halotherapy Brings Relief to Rhinitis Sufferers
If you are suffering from any form of rhinitis, including allergic rhinitis or hay fever, halotherapy treatment can bring immediate relief. Edema of the nasal mucosa, which causes nasal obstruction, will be reduced, leading to widening of the airway passage in the nose and the tubes of the sinuses thus improving the sinuses’ drainage. Halotherapy treatment also kills bacteria and clears your airway passage of tar, dust pollen, smoke and other allergens which trigger rhinitis.
The cleansing of airborne pathogens from your system means your eyes and nose will no longer water or itch. Sneezing and coughing are reduced dramatically and these sessions can decrease your dependence on prescription drugs. Besides fighting your disease halotherapy treatment eases stress and strengthens your immune system. A complete treatment regiment of 7-15 sessions will provide benefits for as long as 6-12 months.
How Salt Therapy at The Salt Room Works
Halotherapy treatment takes place in the halochamber which has walls and floor covered with natural rock salt. It simulates the microclimate found in salt caves and mines in a controlled curative environment. Treatment in the halochamber is similar to visiting a spa. The patient relaxes and as they breathe normally tiny salt particles enter the respiratory system and blanket the skin. Dry sodium chloride aerosol containing particles of 1-5 um in size are produced and released into this room by a specialized nebulizer called halogenerator.
The halogenerator has a microprocessor which maintains the temperature, relative humidity and mass concentration of aerosol in the chamber. In order to obtain the best results for allergic rhinitis treatment, the air is laden with dry sodium chloride aerosol at a mass concentration varying from 1-16 mg/m3 with a particle size of 1-5 um. In rare cases side effects like slight skin irritation or a mild throat tickle have been reported. Occasionally red patches may appear in the initial stages of the treatment but disappear in the subsequent sessions.
Rhinitis Symptoms The Salt Room Can Help You With
Rhinitis occurs when the mucus membrane of your nose swells and is inflamed. It is often a result of cold or exposure to allergies such as pollen, dust or smoke. It may even be hereditary. Rhinitis can be broadly divided into three types, allergic rhinitis, vasomotor rhinitis and hay fever. Symptoms include repetitive sneezing; rhinorrhea (runny nose); post-nasal drip; nasal congestion; pruritic (itchy) eyes, ears, nose or throat; and fatigue. Symptoms can also include wheezing, eye tearing, sore throat, and impaired smell. Some patients may also experience coughing and headache.
Allergic rhinitis and hay fever are generally triggered by exposure to airborne allergens like plant pollens, dust, and molds. Vasomotor or non-allergic chronic rhinitis occurs even when no allergens are present. Rhinitis can severely restrict your daily activities and force you to skip work or school. Medical treatment with antibiotics, antihistamines, or allergy shots brings temporary relief but have potential negative side effects. Halotherapy treatment will not only ease your symptoms but can prevent their recurrence for long periods of time. If rhinitis has slowed down your life, contact The Salt Room in Orlando now so we can bring you back to full speed.

Dermatitis Symptoms Salt Therapy Can Help You With
Conditions of the human integumentary system constitute a broad spectrum of diseases, also known as dermatoses, as well as several nonpathologic states (like, in certain circumstances, melanonychia and racquet nails). While only a small number of skin diseases account for most visits to the physician, thousands of skin conditions have been described. Classification of these conditions often presents many nosological challenges, since underlying etiologies and pathogenetics are often not known. Therefore, most current textbooks present a classification based on location (for example, conditions of the mucous membrane), morphology (chronic blistering conditions), etiology (skin conditions resulting from physical factors), and so on.
Clinically, the diagnosis of any particular skin condition is made by gathering pertinent information regarding the presenting skin lesion(s), including the location (such as arms, head, legs), symptoms (pruritus, pain), duration (acute or chronic), arrangement (solitary, generalized, annular, linear), morphology (macules, papules, vesicles), and color (red, blue, brown, black, while, yellow). If you have any of these symptoms, contact The Salt Room in Orlando to schedule an appointment so we can help you lead a better, drug-free life.

Successful Eczema Treatment at other Salt Therapy Facilities
One salt therapy clinic in London has been met with astounding success:
“One of our little patients through the school program was a 7 year old boy. He has suffered with eczema since he was a baby. This year his eczema was particularly unbearable and the medication prescribed by our GP just didn’t seem to work. It was very painful for this little boy, at nights he would scratch it in his sleep until it bled.
“The school teacher recommended salt therapy for the mum and that is how we got in contact. End of September they started to come for the therapy. They came twice a week for a 1 hour session. He was wearing shorts, so that his skin was exposed to the salty air. After just three sessions we noticed the difference in his eczema and after just seven sessions the condition had completely cleared up.”

Mihika V, a management consultant and user of indipepal.com from Mumbai, India, recently published a virgin diary entitled “I have Never…Tried Salt Cave Therapy” in which he describes his experience trying salt therapy for the first time. Before salt therapy, he had tried any number of cures to help him with his sinus issues, ranging from waking up every morning with a stuffed nose, a running nose during the day and a wheezy chest. He was also allergic to so many things that it only “would take a single whiff of a flower or someone’s strong perfume to send me into a tizzy state of sneezes.”
Desperate, Mihika flew all the way to London to give salt therapy a try. He was surprised by what he found:
As I entered the man-made salt cave, I immediately warmed up to it. It reminded me of a winter wonderland and the beaches of Miami at the same time. The walls and the floor were completely covered in a thick dense crust of white salt. The sun loungers, footstools with magazines, and the sound of waves filled the room. But only this was better, the saline smell that usually bothered me at the beaches wasn’t present here. As the lights were dimmed, I settled on my bench.
I spent the next one hour, flipping through magazines, meditating for a bit and even caught a wink in the last 15-minutes. The air in the room just felt exceptionally clean and clear. An hour later, when the lights went up, I felt invigorated and most importantly my nose felt less blocked.
Returning home, Mihika found that his sinuses remained clear for about a week following his time at the UK Salt Cave and his friends even commented that he sounded less nasal than before.

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).
