Seashore resort in Toronto
Modern medical technology brings curative air of seashore resort to Toronto
Most of us love to spend holidays by the sea, idling on the beach, sipping cold drinks and enjoying the sea breeze. Such holidays raise our spirits and our skin becomes smooth and glowing. Indeed, holidays spent by the sea rejuvenate and strengthen us… thanks to the salt air.
Unfortunately, these visits to the seashore are usually brief and we soon get back to our hectic lifestyle in dusty cities. This takes a toll on our health, drying our skin again and making some of us irritable. People with persistent coughs or congestion, who breathed easily by the sea, suffer from their symptoms once again. Sadly, just weeks after we come home, the holidays and our blooming health have become a remote memory. If we only could spend time by the sea more frequently…
Well, what about a seaside resort in Toronto? Think it's impossible? It is possible, and it is called “Halotherapy”. Halotherapy sessions provide curative sea-like air in a relaxing, comfortable environment… with enduring benefits.
The principle is very simple and straightforward. Modern medical technology allows creation of a special microclimate where air is saturated with dry salt particles. State-of-the-art, hospital-grade medical equipment controls temperature, humidity, size, and concentration of dry salt particles in the air, thus creating a unique and controllable microclimate. In fact, controllability can mean therapeutic effects from this city “resort” that actually surpass those of your seaside holiday. Salt aerosol concentrations can be adjusted according to individual needs, leading to rapid improvement for patients suffering from various respiratory conditions.
Scientists first started to take an interest in the healing properties of salt all the way back in the late 18th century. They studied workers in the salt mining industry who had never suffered from bronchial or lung diseases due to the high salt aerosol content in the mines. Later this technology was implemented in thousands of hospitals, spas and sanatoriums throughout Europe. It is now being offered in Toronto.
In brief, here is how it works:
Inhalation of salt aerosol, a well-known decongestant, is clinically proven to cleanse the respiratory system and speed up the elimination of toxins. Salt aerosol reduces inflammation and has a proven antimicrobial effect. It cleanses the microbial flora of the respiratory tract, slowing down bacterial growth, and increasing resistance to respiratory tract diseases.
This effect is used to treat asthma, smoker's bronchitis, pneumonia, sinusitis, as well as frequent respiratory tract diseases in children and adults.
Apart from healing the respiratory tract, airborne salt particles have a beneficial effect on the skin and are known for their high cosmetic value. Salt aerosol increases the natural resistance of the skin and restores its natural pH balance. The benefits of the method are so clear that it is often used to speed up healing after plastic surgery.
Halotherapy is known as a very relaxing treatment. People sit in comfortable chairs and hear relaxation music while inhaling the curative salt air in a room is decorated as a salt cave, floor and walls covered with salt. During a session, people tend to feel far away from their daily cares. The environment is indeed so relaxing that most people drift off to sleep.
