Currently, 5.2 million people suffer from asthma in the UK alone. This works out to be one 1 in every 5 households. Asthma has massively increased as a growing health concern over the last half a century with the UK having one of the more prevaling rates in the world.

If you have suffered from asthma, you will understand just how resticting it can be on your life. Your air passages become tight, raw and inflamed, with sticky mucus present to add to the breathing restriction, causing sufferers experience a sensation of suffocation.

In addition to the long standing belief that asthma and allergies are linked, a recent clinical study has shown that over half of asthma cases may be attributed to allergies and that the progression of asthma as a lot to do with environmental factors.

Asthma is now the most common chronic disease of childhood.
Knowing this, if allergic triggers can be identified by the patient they can then take steps to limit or eliminate contact with these allergens, thereby lowering the chances of an asthma attack or even preventing the development of asthma in the first place. In fact, early prevention is believed to be the most important step in protecting children from lifelong problems including asthma and eczema. Patients may also consider complementary therapies and breathing exercises to help maintain the general wellbeing of the respiratory system.

People have known about the benefits of salt therapy for centuries, where people would head down to the salt mines to relieve repiratory ailments, increase energy levels and improve the quality of their breathing. The evidence for salt therapy having any benefit back then was purely anecdotal, however, more recently salt therapy has been clinically proven to help people with a vast range of respiratory issues; from asthma and hayfever, to COPD and rhinitis. Doctors and other health proffesionals have been recommending salt therapy to their patients as a 100% natural and effective alternative to chemical & manufactured treatments, including Dr Chris Steele, ITV’s resident GP during his popular feature slot on ‘This Morning’.

People have recognised the benefits of salt therapy (also known as speleotherapy) for centuries, where people would travel to salt mines as the salty air was seen to expand the airways of the respiratory system and help people feel more enegised and free of respiratory ailments. Curative mines are popular in europe and asia, such as the popular Wieliczka in Poland, Hallein in Austria or Praid in Romania.

Of course, it would really be impractical to head down to a salt mine everytime you felt a little largargic or weezy. That’s why salt inhalers were invented. The salitair replicates the salty microclimate of the mines to cleanse the resipratory system and help sufferers breathe more easily. Salitair has also been effective for sufferers of hayfever, COPD, bronchitis and rhinitis.

Simply use the salt inhaler for a few minutes a day, while watching tv, reading or whenever you can spare some time and you will experience the full benefits of being in a salt cave - It’s salt therapy in the comfort of your own home!
