History of salt therapy

It has its origin in the salt caves and mines of Eastern Europe. As workers were mining the salt, the micro-sized particles of salt were dispersed through the air. The miners started receiving many health benefits that came naturally from breathing in the salt particles. These miners rarely had respiratory issues and found they had younger looking skin….

Dr. Feliks Boczkowski studied  the effects of this phenomena and founded the first health resort at the Wieliczka Salt Mine in Poland in 1839. He found that salt baths in the underground could even be more effective in treating asthma than inhalations.
