Effects of Salt Therapy For COPD
Effects of Salt Therapy For COPD
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (also known as
COPD) is sort of an umbrella term used when talking about progressive lung
diseases. Diseases that are generally characterized by increasing shortness of
breath. Signs and symptoms of this disease are coughing, wheezing, tightness in
the chest, and of course as stated prior- shortness of breath. At this time
this is an incurable disease, but with the right diagnosis and treatment this
is a very manageable disease. Many people live many years with COPD and enjoy
day to day life. One of the most up and coming therapies for COPD is
Halotherapy, also known to many as salt therapy. With salt's antibacterial, anti-inflammatory properties, it is no wonder the relief it provides to a wide spectrum of respiratory issues. COPD is no exception. Here are the main properties of how salt helps your lungs:
● Cleanses The Respiratory
System: Salt is known to have a natural antibacterial property. By inhaling the
salt, this cleans out any bacteria in your respiratory system, making it easier
for you to breathe.
● Loosens Mucus: Halotherapy is
known to loosen mucus in your lungs, which could give you a hard time breathing.
By clearing out this mucus, it opens up your lungs thus increasing your lung
capacity for oxygen. It will help you take deeper cleaner breaths.
● Removes Pathogens: Inhaling
salt removes pathogens found in your lungs. A perfect example is pollen. Whether
you have an allergy to pollen or not, during the spring time everyone has a
much harder time breathing. A quick halotherapy session can help clear your
lungs of all pathogens found in the air.
When
entering a Halotherapy session, salt particles penetrate deep into the lung
tissue through the use of a halogenerator. The halogenerator crushes the salt into tiny particles and is then pumped into a sealed room where the air you breathe is fresh and clean. The deeper the particles go, the longer you will enjoy the results of
your session. Patients that have used Salt Therapy to help maintain the COPD
symptoms have seen results last up to 12 months since their last therapy session.
Many times traditional oxygen supplements may not suffice to suppress their
symptoms, and halotherapy is the perfect addition to their health care routine
to live their best lives with COPD.
