Do you still often short of breath?� My mother wrote me.� Bronchial problem attach with me because I was a passive smoker on my childhood. This problem didn’t bother me when I lived in Seminyak. Maybe, because beach air good for lungs and I was often spent time on the beach.� After a month I stay back in Ubud, the problem slowly starts. It’s probably because of humidity and bad air ventilation. I feel need to have a treatment for this. I am not living near the beach anymore; therefor I must to find a way. Suddenly I remember when I had dinner at Batubara Restaurant in Pengosekan, a park my bike in front of a money changer. There I read a sign board written SALT THERAPY. It recommended for people suffering from respiratory and skin condition. Name of the place is Bali Better Breathing ‘n’ skin. Out of curiosity I went there to get some information.
At Bali Better Breathing they have 2 rooms for dry salt aerosol inhalations. Each room has 10 cozy seats, floor covererd with salt and there also Himalayan salt lamps. How it’s works?� You sit on the relaxing chair, listen to relaxation music for 45 minutes while gradually very thin particle of pharmaceutical salt sprayed in the room via a special machine called a Halogenerator. I decided to take 5 sessions to see the affectivity of this Salt room therapy/ Halotherapy.
What I feel after this therapy? On first day, after the therapy I feel pain all over my sinus and nasal. I often have mucus every morning but on the morning I had only little bit and the next day it’s completely gone. After the second therapy I was surprised that I already felt tired and sleepy at 9.30 pm. Because lately I couldn’t sleep until 2 am.Sometimes I feel the air so far from me, even though I take a deep breath I feel that I still can’t reach it. But after this therapy I can take nice fresh Ubud’s air in the morning as much as I can. I also feel more fit and energetic.
Beside the information from Bali Better Breathing, I also collect some information from browsing in internet about what is Salt Therapy or Halotherapy, its benefits, side effects and forms. Salt being anti-inflammatory aids in reducing the inflammation of the respiratory system and also enhances our immune system. Being a natural alternative therapy, Salt therapy or Halotherapy is safe, non-invasive and is also very much relaxing. This therapy is used in medical field and also in the spa industry all over the world (source: epainassist.com).
Halotherapyis also good for children’s health. In my childhood I always surround by adults smoking cigarettes. Actually, I have respiration problem since I was very young. Only when I was a young adult I seriously felt the problem. Had 2 months of dry cough, headache and felt weak in the evening. The doctor told me because I have this condition since I was very young; the disturbance became a part of my life. I misunderstood hay fever as cold and headache because stayed in the sun too much. This condition stay with me permanently and I must watch what I eat, stay away from pollution and dust. Humidity and cold weather also aren’t good for me, even though I love snow and winter. My advice is; it’s a good idea if children have this therapy also.
