How The Salt Room Appleton Can Help Your Sinus Infections

Salt Therapy will ease your sinus infection symptoms by opening the blockages in the sinus tract

The salt particles reach inwards and draw out the fluid accelerating the pace of mucus clearance. It will reduce edema of the nasal mucosa, causing nasal blockage which in turn leads to widening of the airway passage in the nose and the tubes of the sinuses facilitating sinus drainage. Salt therapy also reduces infection by killing bacteria. Your dependence on prescription drugs will diminish. It will also bolster up your immune system. A complete treatment regiment of 5-15 sessions will provide benefits for as long as 6-12 months.

For our clients with severe sinus problems, we have a membership that allows them unlimited salt therapy. We have clients that have been free of sinus infections for the first time in years by committing to coming to one session of salt therapy a week. According to Carmen H, who went in for salt therapy to treat his sinus problem “The first day I came I could hardly breathe through my nose and I was constantly swallowing the mucous. After the first session I felt less congested, could breathe better during the night. I came regularly for the sessions and after several treatments the pressure became less on my sinuses also my headache has gone.”
