In addition, the negative charge increases aerosol stability. Negatively charged particles of dry sodium chloride aerosol move into the lumen of the respiratory tract and settle more intensively than neutral particles. The inner surfaces of the airways have a slight positive charge. Particle size is optimal for penetration into all sections of the respiratory tract.ĭry sodium chloride aerosol has a considerable level of negative charge of the particles (6-10 nK/m3). The main effective factor is a therapeutic breathing environment that is saturated with dry sodium chloride aerosol at a mass concentration varying from 1-16 mg/m3 with a particle size of 1-5 micron. This reduces the salt’s therapeutic efficacy because it does not get inhaled deep into the respiratory tract where the salt’s effect would be most needed. Although this therapy has benefits, the overall effectiveness is limited because the wet droplets only reach the upper respiratory tract not reaching the sinuses, lungs, bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli, the deepest part of the lungs. In wet aerosol inhalations, the aerosol takes the form of a mist or fine droplets. Many people use saline therapy in their home as saline nebulizer or mister for nasal congestion, Epson salt bath for muscle aches/pains, or have used a Nettie pot to clear nasal passages/sinuses or gargled with salt water for a sore throat. Salt aerosol inhalation and the use of saline solutions are not new medical practices. In the United States, dry salt aerosol is a natural alternative therapy and not a medical treatment. Dry Salt Aerosol has been recognized in Europe for over 50 years for the treatment of breathing and skin problems. The technique is commonly used today throughout the world with documented and consistently positive results. Since some skin diseases such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis are a direct result of immune system failures, this aspect of strengthening the immune system will help improve the body’s reaction to the ailment.ĭry Salt Aerosol Therapy or Halotherapy originated over 100 years in Eastern Europe for the therapeutic wellness of respiratory diseases. Additionally, negative ions, which are absorbed into the body during the therapy, help strengthen the immune system by increasing the production capacity of lymph cells. This stimulation activates electrophysiological activity, which increases the production of collagen fibers, which is a key process to skin rejuvenation. Sodium chloride particles bearing a negative electrical charge come into contact with the skin surface and cause electrical stimulation to the skin cells. The micro- particles of salt trigger skin micro-circulation and cellular membrane activity enhancing overall health of the skin. The process of electrophysiological activity is increased enhancing the protective properties of the skin resulting in Ph normalization, reparative and regenerative processes. The micro-particles of salt influence the skin’s protective layer (integument system) and hairs providing healing and aesthetic (cosmetic) benefits by increasing the activity of skin cell ion channels. The dry salt stimulates the body’s internal processes for cleansing the respiratory system removing build-up of foreign particles that cause various respiratory ailments and ultimately strengthening respiratory function. Dry salt is super absorbent attracting pollutants and allergens throughout the respiratory tract. ![]() With dry salt aerosol inhalation, the full benefits of bactericide, mucokinetic, hydrophilic and anti-inflammatory properties are realized. Why it works for the Respiratory Tract and Lungs? As you relax in a comfortable, climate-controlled room surrounded by mineral salt, salt micro-particles are emitted into the room and passively enter your lungs to initiate the healing process. It is a modern-day therapeutic method based on the principle of the natural salt mine micro-climate (Speleotherapy), where frequent exposure to the salt produced healing results for miners and others experiencing respiratory illnesses. Salt therapy, also known as Halotherapy, is a drug-free, non-invasive treatment that alleviates the health problems associated with colds, flu, asthma, allergies, sinusitis, bronchitis, and a host of other respiratory illnesses.
