SALT ROOM CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENTS- A NEW REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH TO ALLERGY TREATMENT

Salt Therapy Has Been Proven to Help Alleviate Allergies

Salt therapy at The Salt Room provides allergy relief by widening the airways of the respiratory tract. The micro particles of salt reach into every area in the lungs and destroy bacteria. This helps to reduce the inflammation of the respiratory tract and clear the blockages in the bronchi and bronchioles. The humidification and fluidization of the bronchial secretions brings relief from bronchospasm and helps relieve asthma.

What is Allergy?

Allergy can be described as a malfunction of the human immune system causing a violent reaction against normally harmless substances in our natural environment. In this context, such substances are generally referred to as "allergens". The reaction creates an inflammation which, in turn, can lead to a variety of symptoms such as hay fever, eczema, asthma and other conditions popularly referred to as allergies.

There are genetic and environmental risk factors. To develop allergic symptoms, one must first be exposed to the specific allergen for some time to build up the allergic sensitivity, and then once more to trigger the allergic reaction. Environmental factors, such as smoking and pollution, will also add to the risk.

Initially, allergy often appears as seemingly benign condition, such as hay fever during the pollen season. In fact, many people gradually build up an allergic condition over many years before experiencing any symptoms whatsoever.

However, for some unfortunate people, a certain food or drug or an ordinary insect bite can result in sudden, life-threatening anaphylactic shock. Furthermore, of those allergies which start as eczema or gastrointestinal problems, many evolve into asthma, frequently involving respiratory symptoms such as hyperreactivity and obstruction of the airways

If you are suffering from allergy symptoms, salt therapy will help decrease the swelling of the “nasal mucosa” which causes nasal blockage. The airway passage of the nose will be widened and the sinuses drained…bringing relief.

How Can Chiropractic Help You With Your Allergies

The next time you sneeze, it may be a good time to visit a chiropractor. Yes, a chiropractor. Most people never think about it, but chiropractic care can help provide allergy relief.  That’s because chiropractic care, often thought necessary for only back and neck problems, can help with keeping the body operating at peak performance. The body’s immune system helps with preventing disease and infection, dealing with stress and overall well-being. The immune system also tackles the invasion in a body of foreign substances such as pollution, dust, dead cells, etc. Current research is showing that there is a direct link between the nervous system and the immune system. Chiropractors remove nerve interference and allow the immune system to work optimally. 

The immune system is affected by nerves and hormones. An immune system not operating effectively can: 

    * Fail to recognize and remove abnormal cells such as those that are cancerous. 

    * Be unable to fight infections. 

    * Overreact to things such as bee stings, penicillin, certain foods, pollen etc. 

    * Become depressed making you more vulnerable to disease. 

Allergic reactions are the most frequent immune disorders and happen when the body’s immune system overreacts to allergens such as dust, pollen, pet dander, etc. The response is that the body overproduces neutralizing chemicals such as histamines to correct the problem. 

What causes allergies? No one knows for sure. Some theories say it’s our increasing sterile environment. Others suspect the overuse of antibiotics and vaccinations. The idea here is our immune system is at its best when fighting off disease, parasites, and bacteria all by itself. The more we try and help it, the weaker it becomes. It is proven that children who live on farms and are exposed to different animals and the outdoors have fewer allergies than those who are not exposed. 

Traditional allergy treatments only deal with the symptom without addressing the cause. This is because western medicine has no cure for allergies. Worse yet, antihistamines used over time or combined with other medication can be deadly. More recently, Canadian researcher Lorne Brandes, in an article published in the May 1994 Journal of the National Cancer Institute, has produced research showing that certain antihistamines (Claritin, Hismanal and Atarax) make cancerous tumors grow faster in lab rodents. 

But just how can chiropractors help with such problems? 

The answer is simple, chiropractic care releases stress on a patient’s nervous system. This allows the immune system to operate more effectively, which is beneficial to anyone and especially those suffering from allergies. 

The chiropractic approach is to remove subluxations, a term for a misaligned spinal vertebra pinching a nerve. Subluxations place stress on the nervous system. Free from nervous system stress, your body will work more effectively to neutralize the allergy-causing chemicals in your environment. 

In conjunction to chiropractic it is vitally important that nutritional aspect, toxins and certain lab tests need to be addressed in order to get rid of allergies in general. Combine all these treatments with the benefits of the salt room and the results have just increased dramatically. Don’t let allergies ruin and take over your life, take control of the situation today. 

No matter what disease or condition you have, you can benefit from a healthy spine. Spinal health can be as important for your overall healing as proper nutrition.
