Horses have a respiratory and lung system similar to that of people. And, like people, horses are exposed to the same air we breathe which often contain pollutants, pollen, allergens, airborne diseases and more. They often experience the same issues including inflammation, extra mucus, and restrictive breathing. Horses have a large lung capacity and often have issues with normal mucociliary clearance, and, in fact, there are specific guidelines for measuring this excess mucus, especially with thoroughbred and racehorses.

Dry salt therapy (halotherapy) is where 99.99% pure grade sodium chloride (salt) is heated and then ground and crushed into very tiny microparticles. These dry aerosol microparticles of salt are then dispersed into the air where they are inhaled. The particles penetrate deep into the lungs, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli to aid respiratory concerns, while the noninhaled salt particles are absorbed to combat skin conditions.

Once inside the mobile unit, or by using a portable unit, a horse will breathe in the dry salt aerosol created by the halogenerator. As the horse inhales the aerosol, the dry salt goes to work inside the respiratory system by acting as an anti-bacterial agent, clearing secretions, and dissolving bacteria and pollutants lodged in the respiratory tract. Ultimately, this lessens inflammation in the lungs, thins out mucus build-up, improves lung function, and opens breathing passages.

The microparticles of dry salt that are dispersed into the air and not inhaled into the respiratory system eventually fall onto the skin. Because dry salt is ultra-absorbent, the microparticles permeate into the epidermis of your pet’s skin, absorb oils, and reduce the frequency of irritating skin conditions. The natural antibacterial properties of salt can prevent the development of bacteria and help normalize the skin’s pH level.

Typically, horses may experience short term results after 1-3 sessions. For best results, however; it is best to use on a consistent basis. Salt Therapy is not a cure, but a natural way to manage symptoms. In order to do that, visiting just once isn’t enough.

Studies have found that halotherapy can have benefits for respiratory conditions, skin problems, and allergies. Salt is a natural and safe ingredient.

It is also:

• Mucoactive, clearing up mucus from your horses airways.
• Antibacterial, helping prevent infections.
• Anti-inflammatory.
• Immunity-boosting.
• Anti-allergic.

Salt therapy reduces inflammation by penetrating deeper into the cells of your horse’s body. The negative ions and properties that are produced are inhaled through the nose or soaked up by their skin.

Salt therapy is a natural remedy that involves inhaling pharmaceutical-grade dry salt in a comfortable, controlled environment. As your horse relaxes in our trailer, a special medical device called a halogenerator will disperse microscopic salt particles into the trailer.

Those with chronic issues will benefit greatly by having treatments at least 2-3 times a week. Those who want to incorporate salt therapy into their regular wellness routine would benefit from a weekly session. Halotherapy is safe to use on a daily basis, if desired.

Only 99.9% pure grade sodium chloride (salt) is to be used with halogenerators which are the machines that crush and grind the salt into microscopic particles and disperse into the salt trailer. All the medical studies and research for halotherapy involve only 99.99% Pure Grade Sodium Chloride.
