These special spots have a calming effect and may help your lungs by drawing out salt which is useful for lowering inflammation. The special benefits of salt mine air draw many parents to bring their children here to find safe and gentle support.
We explain in this opening that salt mines are now being viewed as helpful in asthma care, thanks to speleotherapy’s support of standard asthma management and hope for families and children struggling with the disease.
How Speleotherapy Supports Pediatric Asthma
Working with children and asthma has made me realize that speleotherapy or therapy in salt mines, is both exciting and beneficial. Breathing is difficult for young people with developing lungs because asthma leads to chronic inflammation in their airways.
Because of the salt inside them, these places have air full of tiny salt particles and free from common allergens. Being in the mines helps lower swelling around the child’s airways, reduce the amount of mucus and promotes easier breathing.
Treating allergies with speleotherapy is gentle and can be used in combination with other ways to control allergy symptoms and take medication. Going underground in salt mines has helped numerous families lower their children’s asthma symptoms, giving them comfort and physical relief.

Integrating Speleotherapy into Child-Friendly Asthma Care
I know that as a doctor for kids with asthma, both the treatment plan and its delivery must be easy for them. Using speleotherapy in salt mines, kids with asthma can find a safe and easy way to be treated.

When speleotherapy is combined with ordinary medical care, it helps manage asthma better. Many parents say that this strategy helps ease their children’s symptoms, reduces side effects and allows them to enjoy themselves and improve. We use speleotherapy to treat asthma in children, allowing them to heal safely in a therapy space built just for their lungs.
How Salt Mine Environments Support Pediatric Wellbeing
My patients with asthma improve their health when they spend time in underground salt mines. The special climate of these mines with fresh, clear air filled with salt crystals helps protect respiratory health better than some medicines can.
The clean air helps children with asthma reduce their swelling, clear up mucus and breathe more easily. Other than improving your health, a calm environment helps ease stress which is bad for asthma.
