Our rooms have a sterile microclimate and due to a state of the art air exchange system it is the safest place to be from cross infection point of view.

Salt Therapy aka Halotherapy is a 100% natural, drug- free, powerful treatment in a controlled air medium that simulates the natural salt cave microclimate to treat respiratory and skin conditions. This is no health fad – from the ancient Greeks to modern-day doctors, medical experts have championed its amazing effects. Why not try The Salt Chamber Helvetia natural method of healing before starting your children on long-term medication, where the hormone content of many drugs can cause serious and dangerous side-effects?

In many cases of poor health children are considered as if they were small adults. This is not appropriate. There are several reasons why young children may be more at risk of respiratory illnesses.

Childrens’ lungs, immune system and brain are immature at birth and continue to rapidly develop until approximately age 6, and the cell layer lining the inside of the respiratory tract is particularly permeable during this period. Compared to adults, children also have a larger lung surface area in relation to their body weight, and breathe 50% more air per kilogram of body weight. When a child is exercising at maximum levels, such as during a soccer game or other sports event, they may take in 20 percent to 50 percent more air - and more air pollution - than an adult in comparable activity.

Additionally, children tend to spend more time outdoors and are often outdoors during periods when air pollution is at its highest and they are closer to the ground where generally the air is even more polluted. The process of early growth and development is important for the health of the child, and therefore may also be a critical time when exposure to air pollution can have a lasting effect on future health. Why not help them avoid serious respiratory illnesses with the power of the best Salt Therapy? Don’t risk their health.

Our clinic, Salt Chamber Helvetia takes part of a well developed franchise of UK origine providing the best and most effective Salt Therapy treatment with the most advanced medical device.

At our clinic, we pay special attention to children. Childrens' and adults' needs are very different during Salt Therapy. While adults prefer a quiet environment with soothing music to relax, read or sleep, children are happy to watch cartoons and play with toys. Thus we offer separate Salt Room for Children. Each Child’s Salt Room has a TV, plenty of toys and a travel cot. Children are free to play and do not even realise that they are having a treatment. At Salt Chamber Helvetia supervision is always free; which means you can go into the Child’s Salt Room with your little one (till the age of 9 years of your child), anytime he/she has a session.

Clinical trials have shown that children react very quickly, effectively and intensively to natural healing methods. The effectiveness of Salt Therapy is directly observable and highly recommended for all paediatric respiratory and skin conditions. Studies have shown that 85- 95% of children became symptom-free after only a few therapy sessions. This effect is long-term. Parents noted that after 10-12 months there was still a significant improvement in their symptoms and regular medication had been reduced by 65-75%. The treatment definitely improved the children’s quality of life.

Please note that Salt Therapy is recommended from the age of 6 months.

The ancient Greeks knew a thing or two and one of them was salt’s positive effect on the airways. The tale then jumps to 1843, when a Polish doctor documented how salt mine workers didn’t seem to suffer from the same respiratory problems as the general population. Salt Therapy generated in a controlled environment began in 1989 in Russia. The first Salt Cave opened in 2008 in the UK.

Salt Therapy has helped over 10,000 children in the last eight years. According to a survey 9 out of 10 parents would recommend this therapy to others. Read some of their success stories to understand how it helped them – and how it can help your child as well.

After becoming passionate about the efficacy of Salt Therapy, in 2008 The Salt Cave UK founders began a journey of consultation with scientists and doctors to develop Breeze Tronic Pro, the most sophisticated technology for replicating a salt cave. Salt Chamber Helvetia is providing the same method to help people living a better quality of life.

Strategic sensors are just one of the ways the salt levels in the atmosphere are continually monitored in our treatment rooms.

Amongst dry aerosol technology there are also other types of salt therapy claiming to be just as effective. This is not true. 

There are two ways salt therapy is commonly sold: the first is by placing large amounts of salt or salt bricks in a room. The reason this treatment method is not effective is not enough salt can evaporate into the room with the right particle sizes for the different conditions being treated. You would have to spend hours in a room like this to feel any effect and the hundreds of other clients coming in and out would use up the salt air very quickly.

The second method is wet salt therapy. Within this technique a saline solution is evaporated into the air and breathed in by clients. Although this is more effective than the first method the wet salt only reaches the upper airways and sticks to the nose and mouth, not reaching the throat or the deepest part of the lungs and sinuses. This reduces the salt’s phlegm dissolving properties because it doesn’t get to the places where the salt’s effect would be most needed. This is why spending a few days on the beach is less effective than an hour in a dry aerosol salt room. 

With our dry salt aerosol technology not only is the salt concentration of the air in the salt room ideal for all clients, but the particle sizes are also calculated to make the therapy as beneficial as possible to everyone whether they are suffering from a skin condition or a disease that affects the deepest part of the lungs.
