Scientific findings on halotherapy and salt air therapy at a glance
2018
Positive effects on respiratory and skin diseases
Halotherapy shows anti-inflammatory, expectorant and relaxing effects in bronchitis, asthma and skin diseases. The therapy is well tolerated and can provide long-term improvements (Vladeva & Ovcharova, 2018).
2015
effectiveness of dry saline inhalation
Inhalation therapy with saline particles reduces bronchial edema, loosens mucus, and inhibits bacterial growth. It also improves the immune system and facilitates expectoration (Endre, 2015).
2016
Effects in patients with occupational lung diseases
Controlled halotherapy significantly improved lung function and reduced symptoms in patients with occupational COPD. The method was classified as an effective rehabilitation measure (Chervinskaya & Kotenko, 2016).

Children benefit from salt rooms
Halotherapy in children with common respiratory diseases showed sustained anti-inflammatory effects. Observations over 12 months confirmed the prophylactic and therapeutic benefits (Khan et al., 2012).

Halotherapy as a supplement to COPD
Halotherapy improved quality of life and respiratory function in patients with COPD, making it a promising adjunctive therapy (Rashleigh et al., 2014).

Benefits for Skin Diseases
The therapy showed promising results in the treatment of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Long-term effects and minimal side effects are further advantages (Vladeva, 2023).

Adjuvant effect in respiratory diseases
Halotherapy improved mucus clearance, reduced inflammation and optimized lung function. It was also shown to be effective in skin diseases (Nugraha et al., 2024).

COVID-19 and Halotherapy
Halotherapy could support rehabilitation in COVID-19, especially in chronic respiratory diseases. Positive effects have been observed on respiratory function (Uysal & Ulusinan, 2020).

Cystic fibrosis: satisfaction despite limited effects
Although no significant improvements in lung parameters were observed, the study showed high patient satisfaction with halotherapy. Further studies with larger size are needed (Rabbani et al., 2013).

Improving the respiratory system in children
Halotherapy in children showed significant improvements in airway function and reduced inflammation. The results confirm its long-term effectiveness (Chervinskaya et al., 2016).

Reduced inflammation through halotherapy
The study shows that halotherapy helps in COPD by inhibiting inflammatory pathways such as the NLRP3 signaling pathway (Zhang et al., 2022).

Stress reduction through salt therapy
Patients reported improved well-being and reduced stress after halotherapy sessions (Gelardi et al., 2024).
