How can Salt Therapy support my Asthma?
Due to salt's anti-inflammatory and mucolytic (mucus loosening) properties, it has been shown to be effective at treating asthma symptoms. Salt helps to expand the airways by reducing inflammation, thus making it easier for a patient to breath more easily.
Due to the mucolytics effects, the lungs and airways are able to be cleared of stubborn phlegm and mucus
Salt's calming affect helps the patient relax, become less tense and be able to breathe more comfortably
Reduce dependency on steroid inhalers and reduce hospital admissions for asthma outbreaks
“I had a terrible cough for almost 4 months. Although I had all the checks with a doctor ie blood tests and x-rays, 3 lots of antibiotics and steroids nothing helped my cough and breathing problems. I am asthmatic but it usually well controlled. A friend told me about salt therapy and I was very pessimistic, although by this point I would try anything! After 2 sessions I could breathe easier and with each session, I improved. After 6 sessions I was feeling on top of the world with no cough and no breathing difficulties. This is my saviour!” Jackie S - Asthma Birmingham
