The UK's first "salt cave" has opened in London to treat Asthma
The hi-tech and therapeutic clinic in Wandsworth is the first in Britain to offer salt therapy to asthma and allergy sufferers. One in three people in London have an an allergy and one in 13 in the City has asthma.
Inside a 100-year-old former church on a suburban street, part of the building has been designed to recreate conditions found in a Siberian salt mine - except the "cave" has calming music, soothing lighting and comfortable chairs!
With the sound of waves playing in the background and the sand-like mound of salt underfoot, the place could easily be mistaken for an exotic snow beach!
The "cave" - which has a thick layer of natural sea salt from the Red Sea on its floor, walls and ceiling - can help alleviate and eradicate many conditions, including: asthma, pneumonia, hay fever, bronchitis, sinusitis, cystic fibrosis, eczema, and psoriasis.
It can also alleviate stress, combat sleeping disorders, improve general well-being, and enhance sports performance for athletes.
The clinic recreates a natural salt cave micro-climate - particles of dry rock salt are ground up by a special machine and circulated around the chamber. These particles, invisible to the naked eye, penetrate deep into the respiratory system. Minerals including potassium and magnesium help reduce inflammation and clean out mucus blocking the airways. The treatment is natural and 100% drug free.
Salt therapy is medically proven and in many cases treatment has resulted in a full recovery, including an 80% success rate among children (salt therapy is particularly effective for youngsters, as well as being a fun day out!), with 85% of adults symptomless for at least 1 year.
The treatment is widely used in Eastern Europe and Russia - and has been for around 200 years - where people with chronic breathing disorders often spend two to three hours per day in underground salt grottos. The Russian government approved "salt caves" for medical use in 1995.
