Open a Salt Cave Therapy Room
A London clinic which has recently opened has become the first in Britain to offer asthma and allergy sufferers salt therapy and has brought the treatment to wider public attention. Salt therapy, or Halotherapy, can prove to be an extremely profitable venture with an increasing amount of people now seeking out a salt save therapy room.
Salt therapy works by clearing mucus from the airways and decreasing inflammation caused by dust, pollen or pollution allergies. Sufferers are sat in a room which has its own internal climate and is layered with salt. Particles of dry rock salt are reduced to powder by a machine and dispersed around the room. It is these particles, which cannot be seen with the naked eye, that penetrate deep into the lungs. Minerals which include magnesium and potassium help to lessen inflammation and clear the mucus which is blocking the airways.
The popularity of salt therapy stems from nineteenth century discoveries that found those working in Polish salt mines had fewer respiratory problems than those who didn’t. Then in the 90s, scientists attempted to replicate these conditions above the ground. This constant progression of the treatment has led to it being tested scientifically, with positive results.
One Finnish study discovered that the lungs of sufferers were less likely to display a typical allergic reaction to their environment. It reached the conclusion that a salt chamber could prove to be a useful complementary medicine. An expert in allergies, Dr Robert Boyle from Imperial College said saline was already used in the treatment of cystic fibrosis patients, and had been for some time. He said: “Concentrated or hypertonic saline is used for children with cystic fibrosis to thin mucus. When it’s inhaled, it helps to thin the secretions.”
Some of the other conditions that can be treated with the use of a salt cave therapy room are asthma, allergic colds, hay fever, chronic bronchitis, ear infections, snoring, eczema, insomnia, arthritis and cystic fibrosis among many others. The list of ailments that salt therapy can potentially help to treat is ever growing as more of its benefits are discovered.
This has provided an excellent business opportunity for those wishing to offer this treatment to sufferers. Opening a salt cave therapy room, either as a new business or as an addition to your existing health and beauty spa, has all the signs of being highly lucrative. Because the room’s size is flexible it can be incorporated easily wherever you want it to be.
