(MASSACHUSETTS) With holiday parties behind us and the New Year just around the corner, it's time to start putting the health of you and your family first. For people with breathing issues or those recovering from a respiratory illness, spending time this winter in a salt cave or room may be helpful!
Benefits of Salt Therapy
Humans have been using salt caves for beneficial health purposes for the past few hundred years after the benefits were discovered by Poland salt miners in the 1800s.
Halotherapy is "the inhalation of micronized dry salt within a chamber that mimics a salt cave environment." Some studies have suggested this form of salt intake can help those with breathing issues such as COPD.
According to functional medicine specialist Melissa Young, MD of the Cleveland Clinic, “breathing in the salt particles appears to thin mucus, which allows your cough to be more productive and makes it easier to get phlegm out,” Dr. Young continues, explaining, “it gets things moving. That’s often key for people with breathing issues.”
