All animals are exposed to pollution, allergens, dust, and air borne diseases which can lead to breathing and skin problems. As with humans, there is a growing trend towards natural, holistic, non-invasive, and drug free health care for our pets. Halotherapy can reduce or even eliminate the need for more expensive, and often toxic antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory drugs and chemicals.
Dry Salt Inhalation Therapy (Halotherapy) has been used by equine athletic trainers on their horses for many years in order to improve their performance. With resulting clearer airways, increased oxygen carrying capacity, and better lung function, energy levels, stamina, speed, and general fitness were found to improve significantly.
With the development of more sophisticated Halogenerators (Salt Grinders) for human use, adaptations were soon made, and Halotherapy is now available for large and small animals at an affordable price.
Small Animal Veterinarians are finding Halotherapy to be especially beneficial for the "flat-faced" breeds of dogs and cats that often have obstructed airways and ongoing inflammatory diseases that can lead to snoring, wheezing, coughing, and difficulty in breathing.
Dried salt is a natural decongestant. In the respiratory system,the salt can act as an antibacterial scrub, absorbing toxins, allergens, and irritating pollutants, thinning and clearing secretions, killing bacteria , reducing inflammation, and opening up the respiratory passages.
In addition, salt has a pH very similar to that of skin, is antibacterial, and, when dried, is very absorbent. What salt isn't inhaled will land on the skin, ears, and fur where it can kill or prevent the development of bacteria, absorb oils, reduce inflammation,and restore a healthy pH to the skin.
