Salt has three main properties that make salt therapy effective — it is absorbent, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. According to the Salt Therapy Association, when breathed into the respiratory system, the salt particles can absorb allergens and toxins, and clear the airways. They can reduce inflammation caused by allergies and other issues and open up airways. They can also help prevent bacteria and other viruses. When landing on the skin, the salt can absorb toxins and bacteria, and can accelerate skin rejuvenation.

Due to these properties, salt therapy can have benefits for conditions such as:

  • allergies
  • asthma
  • bronchitis
  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
  • cystic fibrosis
  • hay fever
  • eczema
  • psoriasis
  • sinusitis
  • and more!

It is vital to get advice from your doctor, pediatrician or respiratory specialist BEFORE trying any new treatment. A medical professional can advise whether a therapy is beneficial or potentially harmful.

You should also thoroughly research any alternative therapies you intend to try, especially in relation to real clinical trials and scientific evidence rather than anecdotal accounts. It is also important to find out everything you can about the salt room you intend to visit. For example, what method of salt therapy they use, what type of salt and how much salt they use, what conditions are maintained inside of the room, how they manage hygiene in the room, what medical guidelines they follow, and so on.
