The Salt Therapy Benefits in Asthma

What is Asthma?

Asthma is a chronic disease involving the airways in the lungs. These airways, known as bronchial tubes, allow air to come in and out of the lungs. There is no definite determinant who will develop asthma.  However, people with a family history of allergies or asthma are more prone to develop asthma. Luckily, natural therapies such as salt therapy has many benefits in asthma.

If you have asthma, your airways are always prone to be inflamed. An asthma attack will occur when the asthma triggers are present and initiate the onset of your symptoms. The airways then become even more swollen as the muscles around the airways tighten. This makes it difficult for air to move in and out of the lungs. The symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and chest tightness may occur.

Symptoms and Triggers in Asthma

Certain asthma triggers are often caused by allergies and exposure to allergens. Irritants and allergens such as pet dander, dust mites, pollen or molds could be the triggers for those with allergic asthma. Non-allergic type of triggers would include smoke, pollution, cold air, exercise, or changes in weather.

The most common symptom of asthma is wheezing. This is a scratchy or whistling sound that happens when you breathe. Other common symptoms include:

• Shortness of breath
• Chronic coughing
• Trouble sleeping due to coughing or wheezing

Although asthma is considered to be a chronic condition, it can be easily managed and treated. There are many options and different ways to improve your quality of life. The most common forms of treatment are doctor prescribed cortical-steroid inhalers. These help to reduce the inflammation and open the airways.

Alternative treatments include breathing exercises to increase lung air capacity and regulate breathing rhythms when onset of an attack occurs. Environmental treatments such as Home Salt Therapy is successful in reducing environmental triggers and ease asthma symptoms. It has also many benefits in asthma.

Salt Therapy and its Benefits in Asthma

Salt therapy can be used at home using a salt machine called Saltair device. This device releases microscopic particles of salt into the air. These breathable salt particles clear the mucus, reduce inflammation, fight infection and improve breathing. Salt therapy naturally eases your symptoms and boosts respiratory immunity. It is natural, easy to use and non-invasive!

Home salt therapy can not only ease asthma symptoms, but also prevent an asthma attack. The negative particles of salt help to clean the indoor air from pollutants or other asthma triggers. Using the Saltair – Home Salt Therapy device, on a daily basis, will clear the air of pesky inhalable irritants, pathogens or allergens. Pet dander, dust mites, pollen and mold are all common allergic triggers. The negative ions of salt stick to the positively charged particles of these triggers, annihilating them. At the same time, salt therapy does its work inside of the respiratory system, helping to breathe better and improve well-being.
