Halotherapy

Halotherapy (speleotherapy) is a non-drug method of treatment and healing based on staying in the microclimate of natural salt caves (speleotherapy) or specially equipped "salt rooms" (halotherapy), where the walls and floor are covered with salt (sylvinite).

The treatment involves inhaling a dry salt aerosol with a high concentration of sodium, chloride, and magnesium ions, which helps clear the respiratory tract, strengthen the immune system, reduce inflammation, and improve psycho-emotional well-being. The procedure is effective for respiratory diseases (bronchitis, asthma) and allergies, but has contraindications, such as acute illnesses, tuberculosis, and kidney disease.

The essence of the method and therapeutic factors

Microclimate: A unique atmosphere with low humidity and a high concentration of negatively charged salt ions is created, eliminating dust and microbes.
Salt aerosol: Tiny salt particles penetrate the deepest parts of the respiratory tract, cleansing them and reducing inflammation.
Psychological effect: The calm atmosphere promotes relaxation and stress reduction.

Indications:

• Chronic respiratory diseases (asthma, bronchitis, rhinitis).
• Allergic diseases, hay fever.
• Frequent colds, to strengthen the immune system.
• Neurocirculatory dystonia, vegetative-vascular dystonia.
