Halotherapy allows the purification of the respiratory system of accumulated dust. Its essence is to stay in a room filled with dry salt aerosol. Meanwhile, in recent years founded in Poland, many salt caves in which to create a microclimate of a mist chamber characteristics is impossible.

Salt cave

Breathing air is treated as something natural, not thinking about threats to our health. In the process of respiration to enter the respiratory substances in the air, having a different impact on human health. Depending on the amount deposited in different parts of the respiratory tract. They may be dust, fungal spores, gases, corrosive substances and other harmful compounds or drugs.

The dust particles have a different shape and size. Dust consists of small particle size of 2.5 microns (a human hair is 60 microns) can remain suspended in the air, depending on the gravity of the material particles from hours to a week and traverse very long distances measured in kilometers. Dust consisting of particles greater may remain in the air for a few minutes to several hours and travel a distance of several hundred meters.

Microclimate, rich in aerosol

In 1843 Polish doctor of medicine and surgery Feliks Boczkowski acting in Wieliczka features a doctor, based on years of research the miners was the first confirmed positive effects on health of climate rich in salt aerosol. In 1958, the Mine was the world's first salt sanatorium.

Halotherapy has a wide range of applications. It is recommended for the majority of respiratory illnesses. Sodium chloride aerosol stimulates cilia movement, supports the body's natural defenses.

A number of studies on the effectiveness of this method. In one of them was tested almost 600 children with bronchial asthma. Already after 3-4 days using halokomory 92 percent. of them have experienced significant improvement. Halotherapy is also helpful in treating allergies. As one of the methods proved effective in treating patients with allergy to pollen (82 per cent. Effectiveness). Its beneficial effect has also been found in cases of recurrent urticaria, psoriasis, pyoderma, acne, and fungal diseases.

Halotherapy also supports treatment of cardiovascular diseases, which, due to the aging population falls more and more people. Active negative ions activate the metabolism and local tissue protection, having a positive effect on the cardiovascular system, endocrine system, gastrointestinal tract and mucous membranes of the respiratory tract.

Halogenerator, not brittle

Salt cave is an object of a broad-spectrum, very good influences on the human body. The creation of artificial microclimate of salt-ground chambers requires additional salt aerosol generating device - halogenerator.

Halogenerator action involves grinding of salt to the size of 2 - 5 microns and delivery to the room cave. Then the salt aerosol produced by halogenerator creates a distinctive atmosphere. However the source of the aerosol are not brittle salt or spectacular stalactites, which form the true mood of the salt cave, which is why their number in a cave does not matter.

Meanwhile, despite the fact that in Poland we have recognized all over the world spas with natural underground caves, knowledge of the necessary ground equipment in the generator room was small until recently. In recent years in Poland, a number of caves built using salt kruchów ventilation system between the walls. Heated floor, which had salt sprinkled salt aerosol release. However, research has shown that it is impossible to create a microclimate of a mist chamber characteristics using such methods.

The research shows that the described technique of constructing chambers allows for only trace amounts of aerosol concentrations within the limits of NaCl to 0.45 mg / m³. If we compare these values ​​to the microclimate okołotężniowego, where the average aerosol concentration is greater than 8 mg NaCl / m³ during a storm on the beach almost 5 mg / m³, and in the chambers of Wieliczka approximately 22.0 mg / m³, it shows huge differences. Brittle salt can serve only as decoration, and the grotto is made in this technology should be treated as a relaxation room, not therapeutic properties.

Investors misled

Unfortunately, many contractors did not carry out the necessary tests for the presence of aerosols in caves built. Focused on the aesthetic side. Around the world in professional halogeneratory salt caves were and are the basic equipment.

Halogenerator beyond its obvious advantages for aerosol-generating opportunities is another important advantage. Of Economics. It is cheaper and simpler solution. Construction of salt grottos with solids (kruchów) salt and heated floor is a significant cost and as a result we obtain a relaxation grotto. Installation of the generator is simple. Exploitation of cheap and never need to buy several tons of salt that and so would not be a source of aerosol. With halogeneratorowi we experience genuine mist chamber. You can decorate the room with light, color, wood, glass etc. No need to pour salt on the floor making it easier to keep clean in a cave and our clients do not have to wear pads for shoes.

You must also have in mind that our respiratory system can accept only an aerosol composed of very small particles. In the pharynx, larynx and nasopharynx deposit aerosol particles with a size less than 8 microns, in the trachea, bronchi large, so-called. central airways - a particle size of 5-8 microns. Bronchi and bronchioles to reach a particle size of 2-5 microns. It is therefore necessary to use a device for grinding salt crystals so fine dust that our body can take it. Aerosol must be delivered to the room in a controlled way so there can be no question about our children's spontaneous play in the sandbox salt, in which can lead to serious accidents. Eye injury with salt can be dangerous.

What in the salt cave?

An important element of the salt cave like any other room designed to accommodate people ventilation is adjusted to the number of its occupants. Minimum requirements for fresh air is 20 m³ / h for each person staying in the room.

To increase the comfort of staying in the salt cave to take care of his arrangement. The interior should refer to the overall character of the building. The cave may be the Chamber of wooden, stone or modern interior. Such premises to emphasize that we are in the salt cave just add salt niedużymi elements, such as plates, etc. The most fragile dry aerosol is delivered to the grotto of the wall adjacent to the technical room.

Salt caves complexes involved in wellness are increasingly used as a rest room with sauna. But the atmosphere is rich in salt aerosol by using halogenerator can be prepared in any room with efficient ventilation. Thematic programs of varying aerosol concentrations make it possible to apply it in the halls of fitness, restaurants, etc. By offering such an offer, you can honestly say that it cares about the health of the guests.
