It seems a new trend in alternative therapy is growing in popularity. Remarkably, the treatment requires people to sit in a cave, built almost entirely from salt.

Therapeutic Salt Caves are starting to pop up in different parts of the country and they claim to help improve our respiratory health.

Salt has been used in healing for many thousands of years. In ancient Greece the physician Hippocrates recommended salt inhalation as a way to improve respiratory problems.

Today’s therapy involves spending time in a salt cave while also inhaling tiny particles of medical grade salt. Some believe it can help to improve a range of respiratory problems, from asthma and allergies, to chronic bronchitis and emphysema.

But if you can’t make it to a salt cave, why not consider investing in an air purifier. Running one of our units at home ensures the indoor air is as clean as it can be.
