The continuous pollution in the 20^th and 21^st centuries has led to a direct proportional growth in the number of patients with respiratory disorders. Salt Therapy is a complementary and/or alternative method for the treatment and protection of the respiratory tracts, contributing to a drop in medical treatment in the long run.

Salt inhalation was first recommended for healing respiratory ailments centuries ago, by Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine. Asthma, allergies and other respiratory ailments were treated by inhaling steam from boiling salt water, inhaling salt air oceanside, and inhaling the salt vapors in underground caves. Presently, there is a growing recognition of the benefits of salt mine and halo-therapy for respiratory diseases outside of Europe, where its curative, natural and non-invasive properties have been known and studied for over fifty years.

It is demonstrated by many medical researches that respiratory diseases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Most drug therapies of respiratory diseases have only palliative effects, and many have significant side effects, especially those with corticoids or steroids. So, a physical therapy like Halotherapy (in greek halo = salt) is much needed.

"Halite" is the mineral form of salt (sodium chloride), commonly known as rock salt. Halite is found in ancient bedrock where large salt lakes and seas evaporated millions of years ago, leaving thick deposits of salt behind. The halite salt beds can be over 400 m thick and underlie substantial geographical areas in which at some point of time, the salt mines developed.
