Halo Therapy for Asthma
This year I have had two asthma flare ups. Taking my maintenance asthma medicine, have inhaler, and nebulizer. I'm adding in some alternative options. Have appt at salt spa for halo therapy. It's big in Florida. Anyone tried it?
Hi Mimi, and thanks for this post. I see you posted something similar, as part of another conversation, elsewhere on our COPD.net platform, for which the community responded. I do hope you have an opportunity to look over that entire conversation. For your convenience, here is a link to the conversation: https://asthma.net/living/warmer-climate#comment-448285.
As for your current concern - there have, in fact, been a number of articles published about Himalayan salt lamps and salt therapy within the community. Here is a link to an article, by one of our advocates, Lorene, using the pseudonym here of Ms. Al Veoli, which I thought you might find helpful to read: https://asthma.net/living/warmer-climate#comment-448285.
As well, we have some material published on our sister site, COPD.net, which focuses on this type of therapy as well. Here is a link to several of those articles: https://copd.net/search?s=himalayan%20salt.
I do hope you find the information is helpful in a practical way.
Please do keep us apprised of your progress and you move forward with your appointment.
Wishing you well,

It is nice that there are alternative treatments that you can try. Here in Michigan, I have a friend who uses halo therapy. She has several salt lamps around her home and office. And she says they have made a huge difference for her. After you try this therapy, it would be neat to hear what your thoughts are about it, and how well it worked for you. John. asthma.net community moderator. that's so great to hear that about your friend. I have my first session next Tuesday and I'm going to do two a week so I'll be sure to let everybody know how it goes. I'm so so excited. I've got some good vibes going about this.!
