Breathe Better Naturally: Halotherapy for Asthma, COPD & Smoker’s Cough
Chronic respiratory conditions like asthma, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), and smoker’s cough impact millions of people worldwide. While traditional treatments provide essential medical support, many individuals are turning to natural, complementary therapies like halotherapy to breathe easier and improve their overall lung health.
Research conducted over the past few decades supports the effectiveness of halotherapy in improving respiratory function, especially for those dealing with chronic conditions. Here’s what the science says—and why you should consider trying halotherapy at Iris Love Wellness.
Halotherapy and Asthma
A number of studies highlight how dry salt therapy helps reduce asthma symptoms by clearing mucus, reducing bronchial inflammation, and improving airflow. In one clinical trial titled Halotherapy for Asthma, participants showed measurable improvement in lung function, reduced wheezing, and a decreased dependence on rescue inhalers.
A 2010 study (HT study COPD_Asthma) found that after a series of halotherapy sessions, individuals with asthma experienced improved pulmonary performance, fewer asthma attacks, and better overall quality of life. The dry salt aerosol used in halotherapy naturally acts as an anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agent—a key benefit for asthma sufferers.
Halotherapy for COPD
For those with COPD, halotherapy offers a gentle yet effective way to support breathing and lung function. Research such as the ERS Chervinskaya & Ponikowska E-poster showed that halotherapy led to increased oxygen saturation and improved breathing patterns in individuals with moderate to severe COPD.
Salt particles thin and loosen mucus, making it easier to expel, while also helping to cleanse the airways and reduce inflammation. Patients often report a reduction in coughing fits and increased endurance after regular halotherapy sessions.
Helping Smokers and Former Smokers
Chronic cough and lung congestion are common challenges for smokers and those recovering from smoking. The study Halotherapy for Smokers noted improvements in lung capacity and reduction in mucus buildup among participants. Halotherapy supports the lungs' natural detoxification process, helping expel tar, debris, and residual inflammation from years of exposure to smoke.
Clients often describe a noticeable lightness in their chest and easier breathing after even a few sessions.
Safe, Natural, and Non-Invasive Support
Whether you are managing a long-term respiratory illness or simply seeking to maintain healthy lung function, halotherapy is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that can be used on its own or alongside conventional treatments.
