Salt therapy serves as a natural method of treating and even complimenting medical treatment of asthma, shortness of breath and seasonal allergies.
Asthma is a respiratory disease which includes symptoms such as frequent coughing and a feeling of tightness within the chest. The effects of asthma include inflammation of the bronchial tubes which causes constriction of the airways within the lungs. This narrowing makes it very difficult for air flow to flow in and out smoothly which results in shortness of breath and coughing.
Triggers which can bring about these symptoms and may even result in an asthma attack are varied in their nature and which would include; viruses, seasonal allergies, environmental pollution and even certain types of foods.
Allergic asthma is a term whereby sufferers have severe allergic reactions to ragweed (pollen), dust mites and mould. These added allergies tend to worsen the already significant symptoms presented when a patient has asthma.
Treatment that doctors often prescribe include heavy medications like antibiotics, corticosteroids and bronchodilators which help in normal breathing and reduces bronchial inflammation.
Though with prescribed medicines such as these, there are other side effects to look out for. Recent research has indicated that the long-term use of glucocorticosteriods (oral cortisone-like medications) may lead to low bone density and essentially osteoporosis.
An alternative treatment to harsh medical ones most of the medical fraternity prescribe to, is that of salt therapy. This therapy method is all-natural and does not include the use of harmful oral cortisones. Salt therapy is the safest for use of treatment in asthma and other respiratory conditions.
Salt therapy has become even more convenient with the availability of the Saltair device in order to convert your home into a salt room therapy haven. During the night sleep, the salt micro particles released by Saltair device aid in easing congestion, coughing and other breathing issues as it creates the perfect environment for natural healing to take place.
These micro salt particles inhaled aid in better mucous drainage, while purifying the lungs and reducing any inflammation within the bronchial tubes. Inhalation allows the salt particles to widen the airways and heal the bronchial tubes at the same time. Such therapies are used frequently to reduce the occurrence of repeated asthma attacks.
Home salt therapy, offering daily long-term exposure, will allow you to see the difference in your breathing while helping you cope with the uncomfortable symptoms of asthma. Long-term exposure by home salt therapy will help to desensitize the respiratory mucosa to allergens and diminish asthma symptoms, shortness of breath and asthma attacks.
