This item introduces salt based therapies as developed in Europe. It is coming out of the salt mines and
migrating to the modern environment.
From the material, it appears useful to normalize breathing. That is surely good enough.
It still needs to be clinic based, and likely it is better spa based as
are several other therapies. There is
actually a need to integrate a range of therapeutic processes into the health
spa concept were most of the tools are already available. That includes foot defoliation with fish of
all things. Other known methods also
come up including sensory deprivation.
The problem we presently face is that all these therapies are competing
with each other rather than assisting each other and attempting to catch the
same hundred dollar bill.

Salt has been an essential, virtually omnipresent part of medicine for thousands of years. It has been used as a remedy, a support treatment, and a preventive measure. Salt can be taken internally or applied topically and continues to be administered in an exceedingly wide variety of forms. Although popular and long established in Europe and many other countries, spelenotherapy and halotherapy are quickly catching on in America as powerful alternative and complementary medical modalities. Spelenotherapy is a method that uses the specific and unique properties of natural underground salt caves/mines to treat chronic and allergic respiratory disorders. Halotherapy involves salt aerosol inhalation and the use of saline solutions, typically utilizing a halogenerator.
Extensive Proven Research
Salt has been widely
known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. Once again, the
United States appears to be behind in publicly-available research regarding
this alternative therapy. Halotherapy is, and has been, medically and scientifically-proven to eliminate and/or
significantly (statistically) decrease rhinitis, bronchitis (chronic & acute), chronic obstructive lung disease, cystic fibrosis (symptom of), sinusitis,occupational toxic-dust bronchitis (think 911 First Responders), and asthma, among other illnesses.
From my personal research in speaking with those who are associated with salt
therapy, it is noticed that children respond quicker and have the ability to
recover or eliminate respiratory ailments, although both children and adults
alike see improvements.
Salt Mining Health
There are a handful of
destinations in the world where people can go to experience the effects of
spelenotherapy. Among the world’s largest are in Wieliczka,
Poland and Parajd, Romania. These mines are known as the world’s best
microclimates in which the body
can normalize and rejuvenate, specifically focusing on respiratory function.
Stays from a day to a few weeks, state-of-the-art diagnostic testing, and
high-quality health service treatments are common in these mines. In addition,
the Wieliczka Salt Mine Health Resort co-operates with
scientific institutions and medical institutions in Poland and throughout the
world in the field of subterraneotherapy, speleotherapy, balneology, and
physical medicine, among others modalities. Over the years, its representatives
have organized and taken part in important events, medical symposia,
conferences and workshops on diseases treated in the Wieliczka mine.
Salt Rooms / Halotherapy
In Your Town
Since halotherapy is a
natural, drug-free and safe complimentary
therapy, there is an emergence
of salt rooms appearing as stand-alone establishments and in numerous other health-minded
establishments. Salt rooms are designed to
replicate the purest microclimates found in nature using patented and proven
halogenerators. These generators produce air that’s saturated with a
fine-grained aerosol of natural rock salt, which is ionized and virtually free
of allergens, microorganisms and other pollutants. In addition, this
process also charges the air with negative ions.
Athletic Supremecy
The lungs and their
relationship to athletic activity is arguably the single most important factor
for optimizing performance. Simply put, athletes who have optimized their
breathing can achieve better performance using less breath. This is no secret,
as many world class competitors have been making their high-altitude training
camp pilgrimage to places like Big Bear, Ca or using altitude training
generators. Adding halotherapy to
your training routine will become a no-brainer in the United States moving
forward as it can easily induce better lung function and improve performance.
Perhaps most importantly, it can prevent and treat many underlying respiratory
weaknesses among athletes. This is an area where high altitude training falls
short.
There is a growing quest
in America to divorce from mainstream medicine and some of its
dangerous treatments. Solutions to the disorders mentioned in this article
heavily rest on the reliance of pharmaceutical medications with a large array
of negative side effects and little hope of long-term elimination or cure. The
idea of treating symptom after symptom using pharmaceutical drugs, like some
disempowering game of whack-a-mole, seems to be in its last days. Many
doctors are beginning to take the long-awaited leap to the holistic view of the
body and its illnesses. Naturopaths and alternative practitioners are springing up like never
before educating the population and providing better solutions. Will the pharmaceutical
companies adapt to
accommodate a more educated population wanting less toxic drugs and more control over their own health, minds and bodies?
As more people become fed up with Western medicine’s sick care and choose
personal responsibility for their health, the question becomes: how much longer
until Rockefeller medicine is cast aside into the dustbin of history?
