crazyterrier2000

The Salt Cave have 2 clinics and they offer a free first visit so you can try out their Salt Therapy technique which involves inhaling a dry salt aerosol.

The treatment aims to help those with symptoms associated with the respiratory system such as hayfever, snoring and asthma but it can also have a knock on effect with other health problems too.

It’s a drug-free treatment and claims to help with sinus and breathing problems such as asthma and sinusitis aswell as a general improvement in your health (from the fact you’re breathing more efficiently). Read their site for more information. Appointments only.

My mum and sister went to the Earlsfield branch last week. They both use inhalers regularly, but both said they haven't used them as much since their trip. They were so impressed they've booked themselves in for more treatments.

I met one of the ladies that runs this at work and she was very nice. My partner is going to go and see what it is like.

The real salt cave do Exist but only abroad
In the FAQ most of the queries are answered but you can phone for anything else but I would like to share three out from the list
1. What is Salt Therapy?

Simply, Salt Therapy is breathing in salty air for therapeutic reasons. It is a common, natural treatment in eastern and central Europe but almost unknown elsewhere. It is based on the principle that exposure to the microclimate inside a natural salt mine/cave can play an important role in the relief of many health problems; especially for patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and other respiratory and skin conditions. Salt therapy delivered at therapeutic spas built inside salt mines / caves is known as Speleotherapy.

At The Salt Cave, salt therapy is delivered in a special room, where the microclimate of a natural salt mine / cave is replicated using a patented, state-of-the-art medical device called Breeze Tronic Pro.

3. Which symptoms can be treated by Salt Therapy?

chronic bronchitis
asthma
hay fever
ear infection
breathlessness, chest tightness
pneumonia (post acute stage)
bronchiectatic disease
smoker's cough (including secondary smoke)
cough with viscous sputum discharging with difficulties
dry, paroxysmal cough with distant rates
dry rales (mostly with low tone) changing its localization during auscultation
frequent acute disorders of respiratory tract
pharyngitis
multi-chemical sensitivity syndrome
sinusitis/sinus inflammation
respiratory infections
respiratory allergies to industrial and household pollutants
rhinitis
tonsillitis
eczema
psoriasis

16. I thought salt was not good for us. Why is it good in the lungs?
Eating too much table salt is linked to high blood pressure due to the anti caking agent (E535 and E536) content, which can increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes. However with Salt Therapy you will breathe the diffused dry saline into the respiratory system, it does not have anti anti caking agent in it and it does not even go go to your stomach / hearth / kidneys. The concentration is 1-10 mg/m3 is in The Salt Cave and a normal adult's daily recommended salt intake is 6g, from this you can see that the amount of salt going into your respiratory system is really low. Even if you would eat it instead of breathing it that amount would not trigger any issue. In the lungs however it kills the bacteria, reduce the mucus and inflammation.

P.S.

These claims are from their website please forward any queries to them regarding any qualms about these claims.

I do hope it helps someone in these condition. If anyone has used them their experience is welcomed
