Can salt therapy help your child’s asthma"
It started as a whim, a last chance, a reason to try something new.
When Mia Quinn enrolled her son, Connor, in preschool, she expected the usual cast of germs to waylay his school day on occasion. What she didn?t expect was how much time she and her son would spend in the doctor?s office every season.
?His cold would turn into an upper-respiratory infection and a cough that just wouldn?t go away,? says the mom of two.
Quinn?s paediatrician gave them the standard remedy of antibiotics and steroid breathing treatments to get Connor on the road to recovery. After a second round of antibiotics and multiple daily breathing treatments, the four-year-old wasn?t showing much sign of improvement. What’s more, he began to show adverse behaviour issues from the breathing treatments, a common side effect the paediatrician had warned Quinn about. Frustrated, Quinn researched alternative therapies. She stumbled across halotherapy, which is where you breath in microscopic salt particles to alleviate respiratory issues. Salt rooms claim to offer relief from allergies, mild forms of asthma and a quick reprieve from the annoying common cold symptoms. Quinn began taking her son to a salt room in her hometown of Las Vegas after discussing it with her doctor.
