So what is asthma, and what triggers it? Asthma is a condition that affects the airways. Airways are small tubes that carry the air in and out of the lungs. Children with asthma have airways which are really sensitive to different things, which can irritate them.

Let’s see what the most common triggers are:

When the airways contact with an asthma trigger, the muscle around the bronchial tube tighten (either tubes tighten or tube tightens) and thicken and the air passages become inflamed and filled with mucus. As the airway is narrowed, it becomes difficult for air to move. That is why your child will struggle to take a nice deep breath. Sometimes you might hear a wheezing noise as well.

It’s a bit scary isn’t it? But you don’t have to worry, because The Salt Cave team is here to help you and your children!

Here in The Salt Cave we meet with worried parents who have tried several things to give relief to their child. They are so desperate to find a solution and give childhood happiness back to their children. Every child and every case is different, but unfortunately the end of the story is usually the same: 'the doctor put my child on an inhaler and medication.'

For those suffering from asthma, Salt Therapy can not only bring much needed relief, but can  also prevent the frequent recurrence of symptoms.  Salt Therapy has a far more lasting effect as many, many visitors to The Salt Cave have testified.

To get a better understanding of how The Salt Cave can help with Asthma, first of all you need to know what kind of properties salt has.

• It kills bacteria (the salt dries out all the germs and bacteria in your respiratory system)
• It is Anti-Inflammatory (Based on clinical studies the dry, saline-diffused air reduces inflammation in the whole respiratory tract)
• It has Mucolytic effects (loosens excessive mucus, speeds the elimination of toxins)
• Removes pathogen agents (airborne pollen)
• Strengthens the immune system and restores energy levels
• It reduces IgE levels (the immune system won’t over-react to asthma/allergy triggers) 

As a result of Salt Therapy, inflammation and mast cell response within the bronchi reduces, so the quality and function of breathing improves.

This leads to the balancing of other bodily systems, due to increased oxygen availability. Thanks to the desensitisation of the immune response, sleep patterns will improve and acute attacks and the need for medication will substantially decrease. This means the child will have more energy to play or exercise and become stronger and more resilient to every day infections.

So the choice is yours. Why not try The Salt Cave natural method of healing before starting your children on long-term medication and drugs which can cause serious and dangerous side-effects? Lots of parents keep asking us: 'Isn't it too simple for a long -term result, breathing salty air in?' Well the answer is: yes. It's simple, painless, and effective. What else can you ask for?

“Daniel has suffered with asthma from the age of 2 and has seen a more frequent need for nebulisers and steroids in the last 6 months. After several serious attacks I decided I need to try something more.
No improvement was really noticed until after the 5th treatment. His asthma has greatly improved and he very rarely requires his (blue) inhaler. He has again been able to get involved in physical activities at school again and is now a much more relaxed, calm child.”

“Toby has Asthma and potential allergies, possible hay fever. After 10 sessions I have noticed that Toby is breathing much more easily at night and I have had to give him his ventolin much less frequently. The cold he had when he started treatment has mostly gone (usually his cold lasts for around 2 months.”
