Goodbye Allergies, Hello Halotherapy

For a lot of people, this time of year means allergies and sinus problems. Spring allergies are typically due to tree pollen, summer allergies are typically due to grass pollen, followed by Ragweed allergies in autumn. Mold is always present but is usually worse in the spring. Some of us lucky people have year-round allergies to things like dust mites or pet dander in addition to seasonal allergies.



Allergies are due to your immune system reacting to any foreign substance or food that doesn't cause a reaction for most people. These foreign substances can often include things like pet dander and pollen. For people with allergies, their immune system makes antibodies that see these substances as harmful even though they are not. When they encounter these substances that they are allergic to, the reaction from their immune system can cause their airways, sinuses, skin, and digestive systems to become inflamed. 

Allergies can come with a variety of symptoms including sneezing, runny nose, coughing, congestion, headaches, watery eyes, and itchy eyes, nose and/or throat.

Regular salt therapy sessions can relieve allergy symptoms naturally AND without making you feel drowsy like a lot of allergy medications do. Salt therapy strengthens the immune system and decreases allergic reactions because salt is naturally antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. When you breathe in the microscopic salt particles, they help to reduce inflammation and tissue irritation, kill harmful bacteria in the respiratory system and sinuses, and clear away excess mucus that could lead to sinus infections and other problems.
