Do you suffer from asthma, allergies or skin problems? Salt therapy may be the answer. Salt Therapy, also known as halo- therapy was born more than 150 years ago, when a Polish doctor realised that salt mine workers never fell ill to respiratory ill- nesses. As a result, salt sanitariams, carved into the mountainside popped up all across Europe and these were popular haunts for people wtih respiratory illnesses such as asthma. At Victoria Park's new Salts of the Earth, visitors can enjoy the benefits of salt therapy by sitting in a specially built room which is ventilated to mimic a salt-cave environment. The salt opens up the respiratory tract, allowing micro particles of salt to reach into every area of the lungs and destroy bac- teria. Salts of the Earth halotherapy uses only pure ground pharmaceutical salt which is dispersed into pure, clean air in spa like rooms. The benefits of visiting Salts of the Earth can last up to 12 months, which naturally is great news for people with chronic lung problems. Children with asthma respond well to the Salts of the Earth therapy and a room has been set up to specially cater for young, active minds. The children's room is full of toys and oſten children will not even re- alise they are having therapy. Many high-profile Australian sports people currently take ad- vantage of Salts of the Earth facili- ties around the country. Athletes say visiting Salts of the Earth not only helps them to more easily fight off disease, but it also enables them to better manage asthma is- sues and just to breathe more easily in general. And perhaps best of all, the treatment is affordable.
