Discover the Clinical Research and Health Professionals Backing Salt Therapy

St. Petersburg, Russia is the birthplace of modern Salt Room Therapy (early 1990s).  In 2013 we fine-tuned our knowledge about Halotherapy in Russia with the physician most responsible for its development, Alina Chervinskaya, MD.

“Tiny inhaled salt particles prevent the spread of microflora in the airways and prevent inflammatory processes.  Adaptation to the specific micro-climate of the salt room is followed by activation of the sympatho-adrenal system, and strengthening of hormone production by endocrine organs.  The quantity of phagocytic macrophages and T-lymphocytes increase; immunoglobulin A, G and E decrease; and the activity of lysosomes in the blood's serum increases.  For patients with bronchial asthma, halotherapy provides a longer period of remission and transitions the patient to a lower degree of severity, which in turn creates the possibility of transitioning to smaller doses and more sparing forms of basic medicinal therapy.”

-A.V. Chervinskaya, MD (2005)
