Cold and Flu Season is Here

Cold and flu symptoms we can help you with

The common cold usually lasts for 5-10 days. The patient suffering from common cold displays symptoms of runny nose, sneezing nasal and sinus blockage, headache and sore throat. Many people confuse flu with common cold. An attack of flu is much more severe than cold. Flu infects the airway tract in the nose and throat that can sometimes spread down into the lungs.

A patient with the flu virus experiences symptoms like body aches, high fever, dry cough, red eyes, weakness, flushed skin and dry cough. Severe cases of flu can even prove fatal.  If you have these symptoms of cold or flu, please contact us today to schedule an appointment so we can help you feel well again!

How treatment at The Salt Room works

Salt therapy simulates the natural microclimate found in salt caves and mines but has the added benefit of a highly controlled sodium chloride flow. Going in for this treatment is just like visiting the spa. You’ll relax in a salt room with salt coated walls and floor. Dry sodium chloride aerosol containing particles of 1-5 um in size is produced and pushed into this room by a halogenerator.

The halogenerator boasts of a microprocessor that monitors and maintains the temperature, relative humidity and mass concentration of aerosol in the chamber. For cold and flu treatment, the environment is saturated with dry sodium chloride aerosol at a mass concentration varying from 1-16 mg/m3 with a particle size of 1-5 um.  A team of trained specialists are there to help you.  The only side affects reported by a few patients were a slight skin irritation and sometimes small patches of skin rashes which disappear soon after treatment and typically don’t occur after 3-5 sessions. A mild throat tickle has also been reported in some cases.
