Salt Therapy for Horses: Natural Respiratory and Skin Relief
Discover how Salt Therapy using the SeaClimate system can improve your horse's breathing, soothe skin conditions, and enhance performance naturally.
Horse owners are always on the lookout for innovative ways to enhance their horses' health, comfort, and performance. One such groundbreaking and innovative therapy gaining attention is Salt Therapy, a natural, drug-free treatment that supports respiratory health, skin conditions, and overall well-being.
What is Salt Therapy?
Salt Therapy, also known as nebulised saline therapy, uses a fine mist of saline solution to deliver salt particles directly into your horse's respiratory system. Unlike dry salt therapy, which relies on microscopic dry particles, Salt Therapy creates a mist that soothes and hydrates airways while delivering the therapeutic benefits of salt.
The SeaClimate system, designed specifically for equine use, produces a fine aerosol mist of saline that combines salt's natural antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties. This mist is easily inhaled by your horse, targeting both the upper and lower respiratory tracts with every breath.
Benefits of Salt Therapy for Horses
Respiratory Health Support
Salt Therapy is especially effective for horses with respiratory conditions such as heaves (Recurrent Airway Obstruction), seasonal allergies, or chronic inflammation. The saline mist helps to thin mucus, making it easier to expel, while its natural antibacterial properties reduce respiratory infections and irritation. By hydrating the airways, it also soothes inflammation and clears allergens, such as dust and pollen, that trigger respiratory issues.
Respiratory Conditions That Benefit from Salt Therapy:
- Heaves (Recurrent Airway Obstruction)
- Seasonal allergies and respiratory sensitivities
- Chronic airway inflammation
- Dust and pollen-related respiratory issues
Skin Health and Hydration
As the saline mist settles on your horse's coat, it provides additional benefits for the skin. Salt's antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties can help soothe skin conditions such as sweet itch, mud fever, or bacterial infections. The mist hydrates the skin, promoting a healthy barrier and reducing irritation.
