How do we treat respiratory conditions naturally?
I decided to stop giving so many treatments to children who always have stuffy noses and mucus: white-transparent that easily turns yellow-green.
I don't know what medical treatment to apply to improve these symptoms in children, actually, to somehow manage to reduce the inflammation of the nasal mucosa and the formation of these secretions that are due to an allergic background, which in turn sensitizes the mucosa and thus viruses and bacteria adhere to it more easily and hence the countless "snot" on an allergic background and a local-regional bacterial and viral superinfection.
When drug treatment no longer works, we turn to other solutions to "boost immunity", namely... one of them is SALINOTHERAPY.
What is salinotherapy? Being in a room with walls covered in salt and inhaling air with salt particles. What is this salt good for?
KILLS BACTERIA
As we know "from the old days", salt has an antiseptic and even bactericidal role, it can kill bacteria, so these "salty" particles that we inhale will reach the respiratory mucosa: nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, lungs and will try to destroy the biofilm ("plaque") formed by bacteria and viruses on this mucosa, thus these saline aerosols have an ameliorating effect in the acute, incipient phases of catarrhal rhinitis, sinusitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, bronchitis.
Another beneficial effect of these saline aerosols is that, upon reaching the respiratory mucosa, they will fluidize the mucus that forms on its surface. In acute and chronic respiratory conditions, viscous mucus forms on the surface, which cannot be eliminated, creating discomfort. However, these saline aerosols will fluidize this mucus, helping it to be eliminated more easily, thus considerably alleviating cough, as well as acute and chronic respiratory problems.
HAS ANTI-ALLERGIC EFFECT
Another beneficial effect of salt therapy is the ANTI-ALLERGIC one, these saline aerosols can have an anti-allergic effect, reducing the allergic mechanism in the respiratory mucosa due to the multitude of inhaled allergens, thus improving allergic rhinitis and asthmatic bronchitis; this anti-allergic effect is not temporary but will last for a considerable period, from patient to patient. But for this effect to be lasting, salt therapy does not occur in a single session but in several, that is: a session should last 45-60 minutes, with a day's break between sessions, 10-20 sessions that can be repeated 2-3 times a year.
HELP SMOKERS
Even smokers benefit from entering a saline bath because these saline aerosols can remove particles (contained in cigarette smoke) that are deposited on the respiratory mucosa through inhalation; it also speeds up the healing and regeneration of the respiratory mucosa after quitting smoking.
Salt therapy is very beneficial but not for all people, it also has contraindications such as: Pulmonary tuberculosis, pulmonary mycosis, lung cancer, ischemic heart disease, high blood pressure, hyperthyroidism, pregnancy, claustrophobia, epilepsy.
It has also been found that these salt therapy sessions can increase immunity and reduce chronic fatigue. Also, the saline aerosols reach the skin where they can improve certain skin diseases such as: acne, dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis.
Let's return to the initial idea: how can we treat children for constant runny noses and stuffy noses due to large “polyps” and allergic rhinitis? Through this method - SALINOTHERAPY. Saline aerosols will remove germs “stuck” to the respiratory mucosa, increase loco-regional immunity, suppress the allergic mechanism in the respiratory tract, thus decongesting children's noses (reducing adenoid size and diminishing rhinitis), and intranasal secretions will considerably decrease, thereby clearing the nose and allowing them to breathe... “normally.”.
But we still have an age limit for performing this salt therapy, it will be done by children over 3 years old.
This salt therapy can be performed in NATURAL SALTS (made by mother NATURE) ) such as the salt pans of TURDA, PRAID, SLANIC PRAHOVA and others... or we can very well perform this type of treatment in artificial salt pans (made by mAna MAN ) such as Salina by ABC.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO ENJOYING YOUR FREE SALINOTHERAPY SESSION AT SALINA BY ABC, JUST 10 MINUTES FROM UNION SQUARE.
