How Our Salt Therapy Process Works
Whether you create a dedicated salt therapy area in a barn or trailer, or use a portable unit, it needs to be an area where the horse will be comfortable. Then, a dry salt aerosol is created by our halogenerator and breathed in by your horse.
This aerosol works on the respiratory system, clearing out secretions and pollutants, and acting as an antibacterial substance. This has the effect of reducing inflammation, thinning mucus and improving lung function by opening the breathing passages.
A secondary benefit of aerosol salt therapy is that the salt also settles onto the horses skin. Since dry salt is very absorbent, it gets down into the epidermis, where it can absorb oils, and reduce the occurrence of other irritating skin issues.
Because salt has natural properties which will inhibit bacteria growth, salt therapy also helps to keep the pH level of the skin at a healthy level.
