Lung Disease

85 percent of mild and moderate asthma cases
75 percent of severe asthma cases
97 percent of chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis and cystic fibrosis cases

Respiratory Disease

Respiratory disease affects 37 million people in the united states. This research article goes over how these people can find relief from their respiratory disease without the use of drugs. Thus allowing them to breathe and sleep easier. Less mucus and phlegm in the lungs allowed them to cough less. People with exercise-induced asthma and aspirin-induced asthma have shown remarkable effects as well after having salt therapy done.

Asthma

The negatively charged ions in salt improve asthma. Inhaling the salt particles reduce inflammation and mucus in the lungs bringing comfort to asthma patients by allowing them to breathe easier.

Sadly, my daughter’s allergist is not at all interested in learning about Salt Room Therapy. We discovered it through a friend and researched it carefully. It has trasformed a severly asthmatic child on lots of meds to a very mild case needing very little medication (who even runs cross-country now). I understand a doctor’s hesitation to learn something new, but to scare people away from it is just plain bad doctoring…
