How Does Salt Therapy Assist Dermatitis?

Salt therapy assists all ages and sufferers of dermatitis and increases the body’s ability to absorb microscopic salt particles via the skin. Salt is a natural antihistamine, antibacterial and anti inflammatory. Salt balances the body’s Ph levels and increases the regenerative process of the skin while reducing the localised inflammation. This stimulation increases skin elasticity and can result in improvements in the skin’s protective properties and increase the superficial bacterial flora (the good bacteria).
