Salt Therapy
As a safe and drug-free approach with no side effects, Salt Therapy or Halotherapy is a useful therapy for many respiratory symptoms and may lessen the need for prescription antihistamines, inhalers, and nasal sprays. In fact, the New England Journal of Medicine published a study in 2006 that found salt inhalation is an effective complementary treatment for cystic fibrosis. The noninvasive therapy is conducted in a room where dry salt is aerosolized for breathing and absorbed passively on the skin. The antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties of salt have been documented to also help with many skin symptoms. It is a critical part of our evidence-based integrative program.
