FAQs
Will salt therapy cure my symptoms related to a medical condition?
No, Dry Salt Therapy is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Any health issues treated by a licensed professional and any questions relating to your symptoms and halotherapy should be directed to your physician.
Should Dry Salt Therapy replace my current medical treatments or medications?
No. While there are many clinical and scientific studies that have been conducted on dry salt therapy throughout the world, it is not intended to replace any medications or treatments. However, when used as complementary treatment to your current regimen, you may find added relief.
How does Dry Salt Therapy work?
Dry salt, like the kind we use in our caves, is super absorbent and has natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Once you inhale, the salt causes your mucus to thin making it easier to expel the pollutants lodged in your respiratory tract.
