The dry salt we use also has the following properties and can assist with improving Respiratory, Sinus and Skin issues ;-
- Antibacterial
- Anti-inflammatory
- Mucolytic effects – loosens excessive mucus and speeds up mucocilliary transport
- Removes pathogen agents (airborne pollen)
- Reduce the need for antibiotics
- Easier breathing
- Improve lung function
- Clear mucus from the lungs
- Increase the resistance to respiratory tract disease
- Strengthen immune system
- Helps with skin issues (Ringworm) and skin allergies & conditions
- Overall well-being to the animal
In simple terms, when your animal receives dry salt therapy they inhale the dry salt enriched air deep into the lungs where the greatest healing can be achieved.
The inhaled dry salt loosens the mucus which begins to clear over a period of sessions (strictly maximum one session per day per horse) and any inflammation is reduced which makes more room in the airways for the animal to breathe and with the skin being the largest organ of elimination, it reduces inflammation on the skin and improves the circulation of the skin surface.
There are many beneficial reasons why salt therapy is good for your animal. The salt is 100% natural, medical grade, is drug free and holds amazing properties – it is anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial & anti-fungal.
How it works:
A brief outline on how the salt therapy works.
The system we have allows the microscopic particles of salt to be dispersed into the air, the tiny particles are inhaled into the airways & deep into the lungs aiding mucus release & reducing inflammation within the airways allowing these to widen allowing for easier breathing. This is especially beneficial for lower & upper respiratory problems including COPD/RAO and coughing which can be caused by allergies & infection. We have found that even with a ‘pick me up’ session, stamina and endurance are increased and performance much improved.
Also during therapy the particles of salt covers the skin, (your horse will be rug free during therapy) this being the largest organ of elimination, the skin naturally absorbs the salt enabling it to assist with alleviating skin issues such as sweet itch, ringworm, general allergies and because this reduces inflammation and reduces the aggravated areas where rubbing and itching has taken place hence your horse will feel less stressed, less moody and feel much calmer in himself & new hair regrowth will occur where rub marks have been.
During the salt therapy sessions you may see signs that the micro particles are reaching down into the airways by seeing discharge/drip from one or both nostrils, this may be green or yellowish, this could be infection and white discharge could be caused through allergies such as pollen/dust/hay/a multitude of things. A clear drip is healthy and this can be nice to see too. We have found that horses find salt therapy relaxing and they seem to look forward to their follow sessions (if required).
After 20 days
How many sessions:
Skin – Depending on the severity of the skin issue we recommend an initial cleanse of 3 x 20 minute sessions over 3 consecutive days, for deep set skin issues 5 consecutive days and monitor the results, more sessions may be required followed by top ups throughout the year. We have found with the improved circulation within the skin and a feeling of well-being inside a glossy coat will show through too.
Respiratory – With respiratory issues again it would be the initial cleanse of 3 consecutive days and monitor the progress of the horse.
Top ups – It would be advised to have seasonal or periodic top ups depending on condition of your horse, this will be discussed during the therapy session.
Pick me ups – ‘A pick me up’ is designed to give your horse a bit of a boost in his step by allowing the salt therapy to open up the airways and cleanse his respiratory system. This is a one x 20 minute session (after completing the initial 3 x 20 minute sessions at another time) this can be carried out before or after an event or just for the well-being factor if you believe your horse ‘isn’t quite right in himself’
We never allow more than one salt therapy session in 24hrs and this should never be tried even if you think it could produce faster results.
We have seen amazing results with our Newmarket Equine Salt Therapy System, seeing animals with severe skin issues, with some of these issues being untouchable with some lotions and potions and yet our system is proving to be of great benefit. (link to testimonials)
