Salt Spa treatment for breathing problems

Sadly the Brentford Salt Spa has been closed for possibly 6 months, due to flooding. Does anyone know if there are any home treatments ? Lots of things on the internet at varying prices, but do they work? I can’t find any other spas  locally  and want something to tide me over until they reopen.

If you'd explain how salt spa treatment helps, Maggie, I for one would be hugely grateful.

The Physio place opposite Chiswick Mainline Station in Burlington Lane, had info on Salt treatments.  Sorry no time to look up tel no.

Jennifer I’m so grateful for that . Nothing can up when I googled for something local. Roger I’d only had one treatment before the salt spa in Brentford was flooded, so I’m  not able to comment on whether it works.  It’s supposed to be helpful for Asthma, Hayfever, and various other conditions. I’d suggest you Google it for full info. The lady at Brentford was very informative and I was excited about trying it but I understand you ideally need a few sessions in a short space of time so I think it needs to be local. Let me know if you go for it 👍

Thankyou very much, M.

Jennifer I can’t track the place down. If at any time you can let me have the name I’d be grateful.

I can train you about what I do for myself, to deal with my asthma, at home. This technique is based on steam, salt and inhalation.However I am not a doctor nor a technician. I can only advice on my approach I use, and reasons I use it.The kit is easily obtained, and any salt of your choice can be used.In case you are interested, PM me.

Thank you Edward, but I don’t have Asthma.  I have another condition. I am getting great advice on breathing techniques from the salt spa owner in Brentford whilst she closed. I appreciate your kindness though. I’m not sure the PM message works on here. Have sent a few recently and they haven’t been received. I do know about putting something in the subject box

I remember seeing an item on the London news about a salt spa in Earlsfield when it first opened.  I believe it's called The Salt Spa if you want to Google it.  I've never been there so can't comment on the treatment.

Oops, it's actually called The Salt Cave.

Fran Queen ● 1922d

Thanks Fran. Yes I found that when I googled, but they recommend twoor three sessions a week, so think that’s a bit far to travel, especially the way things are at the moment.

Hi Maggie, I used to take my dad to the Salt Cave in Earlsfield, once a week and it really helped him. If you can somehow get there, even once a week, I'm sure you might find it beneficial. He also has a salt lamp at home and there is Himalayan salt which you can use at home.

Vanessa Cobb ● 1921d

Vanessa that’s great to hear. I’m sure I could manage once a week. I have a salt lamp already. We use the pink Himalayan salt too on food, but I don’t think inhaling salt in any way other than the spa is healthy. I’m still learning. Thanks again. I’d like to ask what your dad suffered with/from, if you don’t mind me asking. I really don’t think the pm is working, but you could try messaging me if you prefer ?
