A tremendous amount of scientific research has been conducted which proves how salt therapy — especially the form practiced at The Salt Room in Orlando — can help treat and alleviate the symptoms of allergies.
Allergies are one of the most frequently occurring diseases in the world — and they are even more prevalent in southern cities, such as Orlando, Florida. Allergies occur when your body gives an unnatural response to harmless substances. Medical treatment of allergies can prove to be expensive. The US spends more than $10 billion in the treatment of allergies. If you suffer from allergies, halotherapy brings you hope of a long term, drug-free cure.
Halogenerators, Nebulizers and Concentrated Sodium Chloride
The allergy patient is asked to relax in the Salt Room’s halochamber which includes salt coated walls and floor. These salt coated walls function like a buffer for air moisture and goes a long way in maintaining the environmental aseptic properties. All the patient is required to do is to inhale naturally. Dry sodium chloride aerosol at a mass concentration varying from 1-16 mg/m3 with a particle size of 1-5 um creates the ideal environment. The Salt Room’s halochamber is equipped with a halogenerator which functions like a nebulizer and ensures a flow of clean dry air.
The salt aerosol is constantly blown and scattered into the halochamber. These salt particles change positive ions into negative ions which play a pivotal role in strengthening the allergy sufferer’s immune system. The halogenerator possesses advanced computer which is responsible for maintaining the temperature, relative humidity and mass of aerosol in the salt therapy chamber. The temperature in the treatment room ranges between 68-78 degrees Fahrenheit. Humidity is between 40-50%.
Salt Particles Penetrate Deep Into Your Lungs, Clearing Them of Debris
When the patient inhales, aerosolized micro particles around 10 microns in diameter are trapped in the upper airways of the allergy sufferer’s respiratory tract. These particles are then evicted out of the respiratory tract with the help of the mucociliary system. However, micro particles which are below 5 microns succeed in reaching deep into your lungs and penetrating into every nook and corner of the bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli and deposit upon the surface. They are responsible for bringing down the viscosity of the allergy sufferer’s mucus and help restore the normal mucociliary flow that removes mucus, pathogens, and debris from the airways and thereby clearing them.
If you suffer from allergies, the Salt Room’s treatment brings allergy relief by humidifying the bronchial secretions thereby reducing broncho-spasm. Smoke residual tar, phlegm and other allergens are removed and the respiratory tract is cleared bringing relief especially to asthma patients. Patients suffering from nasal allergies will experience the opening of their nasal airways, reducing nasal congestion, and facilitating the drainage of the sinuses. A patient with allergy symptoms will benefit mostby sitting in halochamber for one hour daily. A full course can last up to about 7-10 weeks depending on the allergy patient’s condition. After 7-12 sessions of salt therapy treatment at the Salt Room you will discover that your airways are free of congestion, your nasal passage clear, your coughing decreases and you will breathe more easily.
Multiple Clinical Studies Have Found Salt Therapy To Be Effective
Clinical studies have proven the benefits of salt therapy. More than 4,000 patients were treated with salt therapy in a 10-year period in Hungary. The majority of the patients reported remarkable improvement and long lasting benefits. In 1995, the Russian Ministry of Health even recognized the Halo Complex Chamber as a medical device and Dry Saline Generators have been certified as medical devices throughout Europe and has made considerable progress into North America.
Although allergy symptoms vary — if you are suffering from allergies, you are likely to have allergic conjunctivitis, itchiness, and runny nose, sneezing, rashes and swelling. Allergens can also cause asthma by constricting the airways and increasing the production of mucus. Halotherapy provides the ideal remedy for allergies. It will not only bring relief but also present a long term solution to your problem. Contact us at The Salt Room in Orlando now so we help you get rid of your allergies and prevent their return.
The Salt Room has been specifically constructed to help cold and flu sufferers relieve their symptoms and feel better in a safe, peaceful environment that feels more like a spa than a high-tech treatment facility.
Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that affects around 300 million people around the world including a large proportion of children. Around 7% of the US population are victims of asthma. Every year asthma claims 4,000 lives in the US alone. Prescription drugs and inhalers may bring immediate relief but an asthma attack can recur at any time. Halotherapy treatment will not only ease your symptoms but also prevents its frequent recurrence.
