Relieving Sinusitis with Halotherapy

How The Salt Room Wesley Chapel Can Help Your Sinusitis 


Each year around 30 million Americans are diagnosed with sinusitis. That is roughly about 12 percent of adults in the country. Sinusitis is best known for its common name “sinus infection.” Many Americans use medication for temporary relief, although in extreme cases, surgery can be the only answer. Luckily at the Salt Room Wesley Chapel, we offer a drug-free treatment for relief known as halotherapy or salt therapy. 

What is sinusitis? 


Sinusitis is an infection or form of swelling behind the cheekbones or forehead known as your sinus cavities—viruses or bacteria in the body cause these cavities to become aggravated. The disease occurs due to mucus building up in the sinuses. In other cases, sinusitis can also be caused by allergens in the environment. People who experience this occurrence are known for having allergies. Symptoms of sinusitis are headaches, stuffy nose, nasal discharge from the nose, coughing (more likely at night), breathing difficulty, decreased sense of smell, or sore throat. Antibiotics are typically used to temporarily reduce these symptoms but are known for having side effects. 

How salt therapy will ease your sinusitis symptoms


Salt particles travel and draw out fluid from the sinuses. It reduces swelling in the nasal mucosa, which is the culprit behind the nasal blockage. This also widens the airway passage to the nose, which helps with nasal drainage. Salt therapy also reduces infection by killing bacteria. With salt therapy, your immune system will be boosted, allowing you to no longer need to rely on medications. All it takes is 5-15 sessions to get results that last 6-12 months. 

Clients who have more severe sinus problems have a membership that allows them unlimited salt therapy sessions. We have clients who have been free of sinus infections for the first time in years with regular visits once a week. 

How The Salt Room Helps Your Sinusitis 


At ‘The Salt Room Wesley Chapel,’ in a controlled environment, we recreate the climate found in salt mines and caves. For people suffering from sinusitis, we show you breathing techniques to maximize effects. The walls and floors of this unique room are covered with sea salt. We welcome you to listen to music, nap, read, or play on your phone while in these sessions. The treatment room also boasts a “halogenerator,” which is accountable for diffusing negatively charged particles (up to 3-5 microns) of sodium chloride aerosol. The halogenerator guarantees a clean supply of these beneficial sodium chloride particles.
