Halo Therapy is the method of natural therapy, which takes from Speleotherapy the main healing factor - aero dispersed environment saturated with dry sodium chloride aerosol.
Halotherapy (HT) is a mode of treatment in a controlled air medium that simulates the natural salt cave microclimate. HT is performed in a special room with salt-coated walls and floor - the Halochamber.
Dry sodium chloride aerosol containing particles of 1-5um in size is produced by a special nebulizer and released into the Halochamber. The effect of HT was evaluated in 124 patients with various types of respiratory diseases (bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive and non-obstructive bronchitis, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis) in a placebo-controlled clinical trial.
HT resulted in significant clinical improvements as measured by various lung function tests (flow-volume loop parameters, body plethysmography, bronchial resistance) compared to placebo(1). Other studies have reported similar benefits in patients with chronic pulmonary disease(2)(3)(4).
The Russian Ministry of Health approved the Halocomplex Chamber as a medical device in 1995. Most of the published work on Halotherapy has appeared in Russian journals and publications. Summaries and abstracts in English are contained in the additional information package.
