One of the most valid benefits, its anti-bacterial property. It's a natural anti-septic and that's why it's important that we have it on the floor and on the walls as well, plus in the air. So, the air during the session, during the salt therapy session is hypo-allergenic, hypo-bacterial. But salt also has natural anti-inflammatory properties, which means it can reduce inflammation in a natural way. So let's say if someone is suffering from asthma, it can reduce the inflammation in the airways of the person.
