Salt Room
Halotherapy
In our Salt Therapy room we offer complementary therapy for asthma, shortness of breath, painful sinuses, wheezing, persistent coughing, and respiratory difficulties in both adults and children.
Dry Salt Therapy treatment, or Halotherapy, is an alternative treatment that involves breathing in air which is impregnated with super fine salt particles.
The origins of Halotherapy dates back to the mediaeval era. During this time it was noticed that salt mine workers in Eastern Europe were receiving many natural health benefits by breathing in the salt particles from the salt mines and suffered far less from pulmonary disorders and respiratory tract infections than the rest of the population. As a result of further investigation into this over time, the modern approach uses modern technology to reproduce the therapeutic conditions found in natural salt caves in the comfort of a modern spa-like room.
Here in Dungarvan Kelly's Pharmacy, an electronically controlled salt particle generator disperses salt particles into a temperature controlled environment. Patients are able to take time out and sit in comfortable chairs and relax as they breathe in the super fine particles of salt, which penetrate the alveoli of the lungs, and help to cleanse the lungs of bacteria, irritants and pollution, reduce inflammation of the respiratory tract and also improve mucociliary clearance.
Halotherapy is suitable for all ages. However, babies less than 9 months of age are not normally recommended except on medical advice. We recommend shorter sessions for younger children.
