MD. Catherine Bergendiová, PhD., Clinical immunology and allergy, Pneumo – Allergy Centre, Bratislava  states:  The salt cave is very good for people with allergies. The air is saturated with ions of iodine, calcium, magnesium, sodium, bromine, selenium and other trace elements, creating a microclimate that has a huge positive impact on the treatment of a wide range of diseases and strongly supports the immune system – both in children but also in adults .

Another very positive influence salt cave therapy lies in the fact that inhaled saline aerosol dries microbial cells of pathogenic microorganisms, which deprives the body then released in the form of mucus from the airways. This phenomenon is known as the self-cleaning process of the body. The decline is a direct result of not only inflammatory changes in the airways, but also in the entire organism.
