Ahava Dead Sea Bath Salt

For more than 200 years people have flocked to the salt caves of Poland and Russia and to the Dead Sea to help cure respiratory disorders and skin ailments. In the last decade, the popularity of salt cave spas has exploded worldwide. Salt cave spas can be found in Poland, Pakistan, Israel, Ireland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Greece, Italy, Hungary, Finland, Austria, Germany, the UK and the USA. Salt cave spa guests can recline in chairs in cavernous rooms or enjoy the privacy of their own hermetically sealed room, breathing healing ions.

Medical Benefits of Salt Therapy

A 1990 Russian medical article described a study showing the effects of salt cave therapy (speleotherapy) on external respiration in 20 subjects with asthma. Speleotherapy was conducted in 24-day courses in the salt caves of Chon-Tuz (2100 m above the sea level) with subjects exposed to approximately 160 hrs of salt therapy. Speleotherapy was found to initiate positive shifts in the external respiration function.

Salt therapy works by restoring the body’s ionic balance, loosening mucus, clearing congested lung passages and reducing inflammation. Salt caves are especially beneficial for eczema, psoriasis, asthma, allergies, bronchitis, sinusitis, colds, digestive system diseases (Crohn’s disease, colitis, gastric and duodenal ulcers), hypothyroidism, hypertension, rheumatic diseases, stress, and cardiovascular diseases. Contraindications include hyperthyroidism, tuberculosis, kidney disorders and claustrophobia. However, if these conditions are medically controlled, salt therapy can be used with physician approval.
