If you suffer from asthma, you know just how excruciating it can be. And if it’s your little one, it’s equally distressing to watch.
There is relief…
Like most sufferers, you probably try to manage your asthma with inhalers
and medication.
But did you know that salt therapy can provide a natural therapy
for asthma alongside these traditional treatments?
With regular salt therapy, many people report less coughing, less
congestion – and easier breathing. Some of our clients even tell us they
don’t need to use their Ventolin as often.
How salt therapy aids asthma
Salt therapy relieves congestion, inflammation and allergies of the airways.
Breathing dry salt lines the walls of your airways. This helps clear mucus,
allergens and other asthma triggers.
The salt can also thin your mucus and make it less sticky. So it’s easier for your body to expel it.
More information about Asthma
Asthma is a chronic lung condition that makes breathing difficult. An asthma attack occurs when your airways inflame – making it difficult to carry oxygen to your lungs.
This results in asthma symptoms of coughing, chest tightness, wheezing and shortness of breath.
While various factors cause asthma, such as a family history or premature birth, there are other forms of asthma that can affect anyone. For example, thunderstorm asthma is triggered by an unusual combination of high pollen and a local thunderstorm.
