Salt therapy is a non-invasive, natural treatment for the symptoms of many respiratory & skin conditions. Salt is naturally absorbent & holds natural antimicrobial, antibacterial, anti–inflammatory, antiviral, antifungal, & anti-histamine properties. It covers off on everything! :-) Inhaling salt improves your immune system & helps provide a general sense of well being. When breathed regularly it is comparable to being continually disinfected from the inside out. Use from infancy would make an interesting study. Salt therapy is also proven beneficial in the treatment of skin conditions including eczema, psoriasis & dermatitis. Salt reduces inflammation & improves circulation of the skin surface thus promoting collagen production and repair.
