Salt therapy can relieve oral corticosteroids side effects

Often times when we talk about salt therapy, we are mentioning its curative effects in case of asthma, broncihits, dermatitis and hay fever. However, how many of you have experienced the benefits of salt therapy thanks to its ability to re-establish fluid, sodium and electrolytes balance in our bodies? Not only does the salt therapy lead towards stronger lung capacity and youthful skin - it has a balancing effect on the body as a whole.

This effect has now been experienced by people suffering from auto-immune diseases (lupus, arthritis) who are on a daily treatment of oral corticosteroids such as medrol (methylprednisolone) or prednisolone. This drug is known for its uncomfortable side effects, most importantly – the fluid & sodium retention and electrolytes imbalance. By taking salt therapy while on oral corticosteroid treatment, these uncomfortable side effects can be relieved.

Salt Therapy at Mystic fair in Croatia

From 19 to 23 September, a grandiose fair “MYSTIC” (Int'l Fair of Alternative & Healthy Lifestyle and Border Areas of Science) was held in Zagreb, Croatia.

At Mystic, Salt therapy was represented by Natalis Samobor – IIRIS representative in Balkans (http://www.natalis-samobor.hr ). But IIRIS company representative also visited and participated at the fair. Also, the owner of IIRIS salt room in Maribor, Slovenia – Ms Maja Mrevlje (www.perfectbody.si ), participated as a visitor.

The series of presentations were given at the fair. Beneficial qualities of SALT – a vital element in all living beings – were introduced in three presentations. First of them was given by the recognised homeopath Ms Tatjana Oršolić, B. Sc. of homeopathy, London School  (www.homeopatija.com) who emphasised the connection between salt and homeopathy. The best example is the preparate natrum muriaticum (Nat mur). 

Nat mur is nothing more than salt in homeopathy and it has almost the same effects as halotherapy (salt therapy). NaCl is a single molecule with 2 elements - it is very simple and has energizing and purifying effects. It is one of the most famous homeopathic polychrests because it has amazing effects on human health. Nat mur is indicated for: allergies connected with upper airways, mucous membranes, tonsillitis, bronchitis, rhinitis, otitis; also emotional disorders, gynaecological disorders, skin conditions etc. Nat mur or salt rock is connected to evolution of life and this molecule is very important for the human being as a whole.

Salt therapy in general terms was introduced by Ms Irena Majica from Natalis Samobor.

After that, Ms Eva-Liisa Salin from IIRIS Salt Therapy introduced the salt cocoons – a new way to provide salt therapy.

We hope that these presentations are one more step towards raising the awareness that - like two sides of the coin - SALT is a real gift of our Mother Earth. If used in a proper way, it can bring our bodies to balance and relieve many illnesses and disorders.
