Dry-salt enriched air contains tiny salt particles that are easily inhaled with natural breathing. By sitting in the Salt Room for a prolonged period, low concentrations of salt are delivered to where it is most needed – deep in the lungs, where the salt then dissolves phlegm in the bronchial tubes and kills micro-organisms that cause infections. The phlegm, allergens, bacteria and any small impurities are later coughed up by the patient or leave the body through other natural metabolic ways. The treatment works to reduce the basis of inflammation by destroying bacteria and strengthening the immune system.

• Salt has the natural property of being able to absorb. As microscopic salt particles are inhaled- it is able to thin out and absorb the extra mucus- allowing a person to more easily release the mucus. Mucus is released through the nose, mouth and stool. The salt is able to reach the lower lobes of the lungs and the upper sinuses (where conventional medicine cannot) because of the size of the salt particles. The salt particles are between 3-5 microns.
• Salt is a natural antiseptic and natural anti inflammatory. The salt is able to kill germs in the respiratory system (which can cause the over production of mucus in many situations) and manage inflammation in the entire respiratory system.
• The salt in the salt room is naturally 98% sodium chloride. Sodium chloride has the property of being able to convert positive ions into negative ions.

As an example, in one cubic centimetre of air outside of a salt room there is about 600-700 negative ions. In one cubic centimetre of air inside the salt room there are 3000-4000 negative ions. The room is allergen and microbe free. That is why, when the person is in the room they allow their immune system to rest and therefore strengthen.

Salt Therapy is 100% natural, safe and drug-free, providing effective long-term relief. It can be used as a complementary treatment to prescribed medications or as a sole treatment. When Salt Therapy is used as a complementary treatment, it can increase the effectiveness of prescribed medications, and decrease the amount prescribed.

Salt Therapy is very effective for children. In countries where it is practiced in mainstream medicine, doctors recommend parents try this natural remedy before putting children on medication, or at least use it alongside medication to avoid high dosage. We see children as young as 6 months old. The efficacy rate is estimated at 90% and keeps children safe from the side effects of intensive drug treatment.

While modern pharmaceuticals provide effective relief from chronic diseases, there are side effects associated with repeated or prolonged use. Furthermore, medication has people feeling worse off before any gains come in. Using salt therapy, you feel better and better through the duration of the process.

Eastern European Doctors have noted that thousands of patients have been successfully treated by this method. After taking salt room treatments, their patients are truly relaxed, their breathing becomes easier, symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, and shortness of breath are alleviated, and patients no longer have to take large amounts of prescription medications. Patients feel that the salt rooms have turned their lives around.

Salt therapy is recommended for pregnant women only after the first trimester (4 months is perfectly safe) in cases of complicated pregnancies or medication needed during pregnancy, it is advised to speak with your doctor before undertaking salt therapy treatment.

We do not recommend the use of any electrical device in our salt room for a couple of reasons:

• The salt can harm your device.
• In order to capture and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of the salt room and rid yourself of all the stress in your day to day life.
• The use of electric devices changes the levels of negative ions in the room and may diminish from the salt healing properties.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Do I need special clothing when I go to the salt room?”]No special clothing is required for salt therapy; however Bali Better Breathing ‘n’ Skin provides foot covers and hair covers for hygienic purposes. For the comfort of others PLEASE refrain from wearing strong perfumes, lotions, and oils.

Our philosophy is to nor reject conventional medicine nor accept complementary/alternative medicine uncritically. We believe that if a condition can be treated naturally, that is the ideal. However we do recognize and believe in conventional medicine when needed. If conventional medicine is needed, it is our belief that it is ideal to complement that with natural forms of treatment in order to at least reduce medication use and dosages as well as increase daily quality of life.

A stable, hypoallergenic, hypobacterial environment is maintained in the therapy room, where the microclimate is three times cleaner than in a sterile operating theatre. It is therefore highly unlikely that any infection could be passed on during a session.

If somehow any bacteria entered the room during a session and was not killed by the 4.5 tons of salt on floor, it would be removed during the 12 minute ventilation time, which follows each Salt Therapy session and would exit the building via ducting.

As an added precaution here at Bali Better Breathing ‘n’ skin we have installed UVC Lighting to the salt rooms for use at the end of sessions.

Ultraviolet-ray sterilizing is one of the cleanest, most non-polluting,non-chemical, without any colour and odour and leaves no residue. Ultraviolet-ray is also able to kill virus and bacteria in a natural way, the light wave can kill DNA of bacteria and virus’s and stop its growth.
