Salt Therapy is fast becoming one of the more popular natural treatments for symptoms of respiratory and skin conditions. Thousands of adults and children have benefited from it with no side effects.

Meditourz is proud to bring you the most advanced healing treatments using dry salt therapy through our association with Salt Escape, started by Lyla and Jamsheed Mehta. This unique wellness therapy utilises the antibacterial, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory properties of salt to offer relief from many chronic and acute respiratory and skin conditions.

Many ancient civilizations have used salt extensively for its therapeutic properties – be it to disinfect wounds, reduce inflammations or treat respiratory illnesses. In modern times, the chronology is as follows:

• In the 19th century, a health official in Poland documented that workmen who were mining salt in salt caves experienced considerably enhanced respiratory health, including substantial reduction in respiratory disorders.
• During World War II, patients taking shelter in salt caves saw amazing improvements in their breathing and lung conditions.
• Thus, in the 1960s, 'salt rooms' were developed in Russia and Eastern Europe.
• These rooms had devices called halogenerators which simulated the conditions and climate of the salt mines, thereby accelerating positive effects for respiratory and skin conditions.
• This gave rise to 'Halotherapy' or Salt Therapy.

Lyla and Jamsheed Mehta were intrigued about Halotherapy and performed extensive research on it. After successfully undergoing a salt therapy treatment and experiencing the benefits it had on Jamsheed's own chronic rhinitis, they became firm believers. They decided that this was something that was badly needed.

They knew that people were breathing polluted air and suffering from chronic respiratory problems as a result. Salt therapy seemed a wonderful, natural, drug-free way to make them better. They decided to set up the city's first salt therapy centre, recreating the 'micro climate' of salt caves in Mumbai. Thus, Salt Escape was born.

Salt Therapy utilises the antibacterial, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory properties of salt, offering relief from many chronic and acute respiratory and skin conditions.

Salt Escape uses salt aerosols that have microscopic salt particles which are ground in a halogenerator machine. When inhaled naturally, these particles penetrate into the lungs and bronchi. The skin is also exposed to dry salt aerosol for its healing effects on the hair and blood micro-circulation.

Salt Therapy relieves symptoms of respiratory infections and conditions by:

• Cleansing smoke, dust, pollutants and other allergens from the airways
• Drawing out inflammation
• Thinning/loosening congestion/mucous
• Facilitating drainage of the sinuses
• Reducing allergies within the airways

Salt Therapy helps to relieve skin infections and ailments by:

• Balancing pH levels
• Neutralizing allergens and irritants
• Inducing regenerative skin processes
• Improving blood micro-circulation
• Lowering IgE levels, preventing immune system oversensitivity and allergies

After a few sessions, you will notice your breathing become easier. Over the course of the therapy, shortness of breath, sneezing, coughing and congestion will gradually be alleviated. Many people find that a course in Salt Therapy can significantly reduce their dependence on inhalers and steroids.
