They often experience the same issues including in- flammation, extra mucus, and restrictive breathing. Horses have a large lung ca- pacity and often have issues with normal mucociliary clearance.

ral remedy that involves in- haling pharmaceutical-grade dry salt in a comfortable, controlled environment. “We bring our mobile
trailer with a halogenerator, a medical device that will disperse the dry salt aerosol into the trailer,” says Equi- Salt founder Amber Denis. The horse will breathe
in the microsopic salt parti- cles and the dry salt will work internally as an anti- bacterial agent clearing se- cretions, and dissolving bacteria and pollutants in the respiratory system. Salt therapy reduces
inflammation by penetrating deeper into the cells of your horse’s body. The negative ions and properties that are produced
are inhaled
through the nose or soaked up by their skin. Ultimately, this lessens
inflammation in the lungs, thins out mucus build-up, improves lung function, and opens breathing passages. The microparticles of
dry salt that are not inhaled into the respiratory system will fall onto the skin. Be- cause dry salt is ultra-ab- sorbent, the microparticles permeate into the epidermis
of your pet’s skin, absorb oils, and reduce the fre- quency of irritating skin conditions. The natural anti- bacterial properties of salt can prevent the develop- ment of bacteria and help normalize the skin’s pH level.
What Kind of Salt do is used for Salt Therapy? Only 99.9% pure
grade sodium chloride (salt) is to be used with halogen- erators which crush and
grind the salt into micro- scopic particles and disperse into the salt trailer. All the medical studies and re- search for halotherapy in- volve only 99.99% Pure Grade Sodium Chloride. For more information
