Does the Ocean Air Help Lung Disease?

There you stand, listening to the waves softly crashing against the rocky beach. High above you, the sun is shining on the water, providing a bright blue glow to the afternoon. As you take in the ocean breeze all around, a sense of peaceful grace comes over you. To many, this is the power of the ocean, a calm and gentle place to relax.

Have you ever experienced the many effects of the ocean? If so, have you enjoyed the benefits of breathing in the ocean air and thinking how wonderful it is? Well, you are not alone. The ocean, especially ocean air, has commonly been referred to as a source of healing for all types of ailments, including certain lung diseases. But in reality, does the ocean air actually help sufferers of lung disease?

Breath of Fresh Ocean Air: Does it Work?

For almost 200 years, people have flocked to the ocean or taken part in salt baths in order to treat certain medical conditions, such as pulmonary fibrosis or COPD. It is commonly believed that breathing in the fresh salty air can help treat the people who suffer from these respiratory problems. Does this belief hold any merit though?

According to the President of the American Thoracic Society, Dr. Thomas W. Ferkol, there is some evidence that supports this claim. In an article published by Wall Street Journal, Dr. Ferkol mentions that a study taking place in Australia tracked the effects of the ocean air on surfers suffering from cystic fibrosis. The study lasted 48 weeks and produced some evidence that the salt air was helping to clear out the lungs of the patients. Not only that, but the patients also showed signs of fewer flare-ups and a reduced need for certain antibiotics.

Another study has found that there are therapeutic qualities to ocean air that have helped lung disease patients as well. The study tested patients with a variety of lung diseases to see if there was a common improvement in symptoms. While patient results were on an individual basis, these were some of the more common results from patients that breathed in the ocean air:

  • Thinner mucus
  • Improved lung function
  • Reduced coughing
  • Decreased sinus pressure

While more time and research is needed to understand the definitive health benefits of ocean air, a trip to the beach could do more good than originally thought. People with a chronic lung disease can head to Tampa, Florida in order to breathe in the salty ocean air and to visit the cutting-edge clinic, the Lung Health Institute, which offers a revolutionary cellular therapy that helps patients breathe easier.

With the advent of a relatively new form of therapy gaining popularity world-wide, called salt therapy, otherwise known as halotherapy, many people ask this popular question:

Is breathing salt air good for you?

What People are Saying

The question arises as more and more people frequent the beach, and afterwards report positive results like feeling rejuvenated, and being better able to breathe. Many others report remarkable improvements in the condition of their skin. These benefits are often attributed to bathing in the sea water, and also from breathing in the salt-rich air.

Benefiting from the effects of sea water and it’s salty environment is actually an age old practice, called Thalassotherapy. Wikipedia’s definition:

Thalassotherapy is the use of seawater as a form of therapy. It is based on the systematic use of seawater, sea products, and shore climate. Practitioners claim the properties of seawater have beneficial effects upon the pores of the skin.

Is Salt Air Good for the Lungs?

An article in Reader’s Digest reports that “seaside air is really good for your health” and lists the various benefits of breathing in the salt-rich air, which includes your respiratory system, your immune system, and your skin. Reportedly, the salt rich atmosphere found near the seaside:

“…is especially beneficial to the respiratory organs and the skin, but also improves circulation and strengthens the body’s defences.”

In an article titled “The Health Benefits of Ocean Air“, the Lung Health Institute claims that breathing in salt-rich air can benefit certain medical conditions, such as pulmonary fibrosis and COPD. The article also lists medical studies showing evidence that this type of salt therapy can:

  • reduce mucus
  • reduce coughing
  • decrease sinus pressure
  • and improve lung function

Benefits of salt therapy

 BENEFITS AT A GLANCE:

ALLERGIES

ASTHMA

CHRONIC OR TEMPORARY RESPIRATORY TRACT INFLAMMATIONS

EMPHYSEMA

SINUSITIS

BRONCHITIS

CYSTIC FIBROSIS

COPD

CARDIOVASCULAR ILLNESSES

DEPRESSIONS

HYPOTHYROIDISM

WEAKENED IMMUNE SYSTEM

….AND MORE!

The benefits of salt therapy are wide.  Salt levels affect our cell activity, energy, and blood sugar levels. A natural disinfectant, salt is antimicrobial, and antibacterial.  Himalayan Salt contains 84 elements and trace elements found in the human body. Dry salt air is more powerful than moist salt air.

The negatively charged ions in Himalayan salt improve our health and mood. Inhaling particles may reduce inflammation and mucus in the lungs, improving respiratory conditions such as asthma, allergies, bronchitis, sinus congestion, and COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). Scientific studies show that people with asthma and other ailments breathe easier after halo therapy (Himalayan Salt Therapy).

The calming and detoxifying effects of the halo therapy can support the immune, nervous, and lymphatic systems. Additional benefits are reduced stress and headaches, increased energy, and better sleep patterns. Salt ions purify the air and may increase lung capacity and reduce physical ailments for adults and children. Athletes can greatly benefit, also. Halo therapy is recommended to help keep the body healthy during flu or allergy seasons.

Skin conditions can also be improved with halo therapy, like psoriasis, rashes, eczema, acne, for example. Table salt, sodium chloride, is dehydrating, but pure mineral salts have natural moisturizing properties and support the skin’s water balance and barrier function by attracting moisture to the skin. Minerals are necessary for cell function and detoxification, so  mineral salts have strong rejuvenating properties.

Do Salt Caves Really Work? by Sunny Lal | Halo Therapy

There’s a lot of speculation around salt caves lately. Salt caves are a relatively new concept in North America, and they’ve taken the spa therapy world by storm. So it’s no wonder that people are asking the question:

“Do salt caves really work?”

What is a Salt Cave?

What is a Salt Cave?
What is a Salt Cave?A salt cave is ultimately an artificial replica of an authentic salt mine microclimate.

Basically, it consists of a temperature and humidity controlled environment hosting a rich salt aerosol atmosphere, that is completely consumed by and constructed with Himalayan salt. Various value-add enhancements are sometimes incorporated like a salt-brine cascade, also known as a water-cascade.

A Brief History of Salt Caves

The benefits of a salt environment were discovered in the early 19th century by a Polish physician who observed that salt miners had significantly fewer respiratory ailments, and looked much younger for their age than coal miners. He believed these health benefits were a result of breathing in the air in the salt-rich atmosphere in the salt mines.

Shortly thereafter, going to salt mines and caves for healing purposes became popular form of therapy throughout Europe.

This method of therapy — of breathing in salt-rich air, became known as halo therapy.

Halo therapy

Today, technology has allowed halo therapy to become more easily accessible to clients seeking the benefits of salt — without the need to venture into underground caves. In North America, halo therapy is a growing industry for relieving a number of respiratory, skin and health conditions.

What People are Saying

Normal vs Inflamed Air Passage
Normal vs Inflamed Air Passage
People who have tried halo therapy sessions at salt caves have reported benefits towards a vast array of health conditions including:

We’ve found various clinical studies that verify these benefits.

Is it Worth Visiting a Salt Cave?

Whether you are experiencing any of the respiratory or skin ailments listed above and are looking for relief, or even as a way to relax and find a calming environment to relieve stress, visiting a salt cave is a relatively inexpensive, easy and non-intrusive therapy method that you can experience for yourself.

Most people who visit a salt cave are repeat customers, and the feedback is unanimously positive.

Finding a Local Salt Cave

But don’t take our word for it. Find a local salt cave, talk to the spa owners and ask for customer feedback, and try it for yourself. It’s a wonderful experience and we think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Repost from: https://selectsalt.com/halotherapy/do-salt-caves-really-work/

How to help your allergies and more~

The Healer Tea

Using the Himalayan Salt inhaler once a day for 25 mins each day is amazing for your allergies and respiratory issues. At first you may cough and have a running nose. This will lessen as you continue to use it.

I use my inhaler at bedtime. It relaxes you and lessens the inflammation in your lungs and body to help you breath and relax (see what I did there? :)) Any inflammation will be reduced and your lungs will open up. Stuffy noses gone. Coughs gone. Relax. Sleep. See the full description for more conditions the Himalayan Salt Inhaler is good for.

An added bonus to kick start things all respiratory is using the Nuwati Healer Tea. First you shake and then open and sniff the open jar. You’ll cough, sneeze and have nasal drainage at first, but it’ll get better with each use. After sniffing, use 1 TABLESPOON, seep for 5 mins in hot water, and drink in the herbs. MMMMMMMM, a wonderful aroma. You can add some local honey to sweeten the tea. I like it as it is. See the full description for more conditions the Healer Tea helps.

Keep using these items for……, well, forever! Honestly, it’s better than the drugs and chemicals out there from Big Pharma!

I’m happy to answer any questions you may have with these or any of the products on my site. If I don’t know the answer, I’ll definitely find out and get back with you ASAP!

What a journey!!

I’ve been wanting my own business for such a long time! Can’t even remember when it started. After working with my husband in his business for 17 years now, I’ve taken steps to start mine own business.
Two years now I’ve had the desire for a Himalayan Salt Cave business with all natural products (as the ones here on my site), and Infrared Saunas. Soon I’d like to have a ‘brick ‘n mortar’ business with these products (and more).
These products have changed my life in such away that I had to share them with others.
I hope I can help you as these have helped me.
I’ll be adding more products and inventory soon. It’s been a slow journey, but I am getting there.
Thanks to all my family and friends who have supported me through this and continue to every day.
Just breathe and relax as Mother Nature Intended.
