How Salt Room Tampa Can Improve Your Asthma
Salt therapy provides effective relief from asthma symptoms. It works by opening airways and humidifying and thinning mucus secretions, reducing asthma inflammation and irritation. Salt therapy’s anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial properties absorb edema in the airway, reducing airway tightness and providing lung relief. With few sessions, asthma patients can breathe easier and reduce dependence on inhalers and medication. A complete treatment regimen of 5-15 sessions will provide benefit for 6-12 months.
Salt Therapy in Salt Caves and Mines
In comparison to Speleotherapy, a natural salt cave treatment for asthma, Halotherapy provides the added benefit of a controlled environment. The temperature, humidity and sodium chloride flow are tightly monitored for optimum effectiveness. The client can relax in the halochamber, which has a spa-like atmosphere.
During treatment, a dry sodium chloride aerosol containing micro-particles – between 1 and 5 micrometers in size – is blown into the room. The halogenerator controls the mass concentration of sodium chloride aerosol – from 1 to 16 mg/m3 – for asthma therapy.
