What is salt therapy and how does it work?
Salt therapy is designed to mimic the microclimate of naturally occurring salt caves and salt mines. This is achieved with the help of a machine known as a halogenerator. It disperses a microscopic salt aerosol throughout the salt covered room. The invisible salt particles are inhaled and travel throughout the respiratory system, getting to the root of your respiratory problems quickly and effectively without the need for nasal sprays, puffers or pills.
What is sinusitis and how is it caused?
Sinusitis is an infection of the sinuses caused by a virus or bacteria. It can also be caused by environmental irritants such as grass, pollen and chemicals. When you have sinusitis, sometimes refered to as a sinus infection, a lot of mucus builds up within in the sinuses. This creates pressure and pain across the face and forehead, often confused with a headache. Other symptoms of sinusitis include difficulty breathing, a blocked nose and thick, coloured mucus.
How can salt therapy help cure sinusitis?
The inhaled microscopic salt aerosol draws the mucus and fluid build up out of the nasal passage, reducing the swelling and pain. The minerals within salt, namely magnesium and potassium and known to help with inflammation and assist with breaking down mucus build up. Salt therapy will also assist in protecting you against further sinus infections as it kills harmful bacteria in the airways and boosts your immune system.
