Many of the clinical trials researching the efficacy of salt treatment target respiratory conditions. Therapeutic methods range from spending time in a natural halo salt room spa to breathing aerosolized hypertonic salt water.

In the respiratory tract, salt's mechanism of action is versatile. As salt particles are smaller than most particulate matter in the air, they can be inhaled deeper into the airways. Once in the respiratory tract, salt triggers a spill of therapeutic events. Some of the salt treatment benefits are:

• Increase Oxygen Saturation Levels

A study shows the effect of dry salt aerosol on lung function focusing patients with severe obstructive pulmonary disease. In this study, participants were assigned traditional therapy aimed at bronchodilation alone or to traditional therapy coupled with aerosol salt therapy. Its consequence is that the patients who received dual therapy showed an increase in oxygen saturation levels and a decline in respiratory rate compared.

• Dermatology

Dermatology is another emerging area for salt treatment. As about 2% to 3% of the world's population is afflicted with psoriasis, researchers have randomized that psoriasis patients who receives either traditional ultraviolet light therapy (UVT) alone or UVT and bathing in a Dead Sea hypertonic salt solution may show greater symptom improvement after significant number of treatments.

These are some of the ways salt therapy is beneficial for your skin. So what are you waiting for? If you want to have flawless and glowing skin, visit a salt spa today!
