What is this?
In the 1800s, a Polish physician started a study on salt mine workers and found that they rarely suffered from respiratory diseases or tuberculosis. Further research concluded that the inhalation of the salt particles were clearly having a positive effect on the workers skin and respiratory health. Soon after the discovery, the first halotherapy spa was opened in a salt cave.
Halotherapy is a widely used natural treatment where particles of salt mix organically with the air in the salt cave and is breathed in. This sort of treatment dates back to as far as 460BC where Hippocrates often used salt as a form of medicine. Since then halotherapy has been studied and developed, showing only positive effects to one’s health.
lt is very important to look after the wellbeing of our respiratory functions as they provide for our oxygen and fight things such as diseases, bacteria, allergens and other airborne pathogens.
