What to expect when you book your horse a session of Equine Salt Therapy
Time: Each session lasts approx. 20 – 30 minutes
Cost: 3 x 20 min Deep Cleanse £70
Top up sessions £25
Where: We visit you at your yard with our mobile unit and the treatment takes place in your horses stable or on your horsebox/trailer. We can perform the treatment on our horsebox if you do not have your own or an enclosed stable (small additional cost).
For yard visits the cost is reduced according to the number of horses treated.
Our unit does not require an electricity outlet.
Important to remember– To get the best from your session, we ask that horses are not worked an hour before or an hour after treatment and not to bath for 24hrs following treatment.
How many sessions:
Skin – Depending on the severity of the skin issue we recommend an initial deep cleanse of 3 x 20 minute sessions over 3 consecutive days, for severe skin issues 5 sessions over consecutive days may be more beneficial with one or two top ups throughout the year. We have found with improved circulation within the skin also promotes a feeling of well-being inside and a glossy coat will show through too.
Respiratory – With respiratory issues again it would be the initial cleanse of 3 consecutive days and monitor the progress of the horse. For long standing issues 5 sessions may be beneficial.
Top ups – It is advised to have seasonal or periodic top ups depending on the condition of your horse, this will be discussed during the therapy session.
Pick me ups – ‘A pick me up’ is designed to give your horse a bit of a boost by allowing the salt therapy to open up the airways and cleanse his respiratory system. This is a one x 20 minute session (after completing the initial 3 x 20 minute sessions at another time) this can be carried out before or after a competition, before the start of (or during) the show season or at the end of a busy season of competing.
The Power of Salt (Sodium Chloride)
Medical grade salt
The purer the salt, the more percentage of sodium chloride, the more effective the salt will be in providing the characteristics of being super absorbent, anti-inflammatory and anti bacterial. Pure sodium chloride is natural mined salt that eliminates all the trace elements, minerals, dirt and debris so you are left with 99.99% pure sodium chloride.
The salt used is the salt that hospitals use in saline solutions that enter the body.
Why it works for the Skin?
The salt particles bearing a negative electrical charge come into contact with the skin and influence the skin’s protective layer and hairs by causing a ph normalisation. This activates electrical stimulation to the skin cell, increases the production of collagen fibres, which is a key process to skin repair and rejuvenation thus enhancing the overall wellbeing of the skin giving it strength and cushioning.
In addition, negative ions which are absorbed into the body during the therapy, help strengthen the immune system by increasing the production capacity of lymph cells. This will help improve the body’s reaction to the ailment.
Breathing/lungs
Most people are familiar with phlegm. It is what you might cough up when you have a cold or the flu.
With certain diseases and allergies phlegm becomes too thick to be easily cleared. It can end up clogging the lungs, making it hard to get oxygen in and out. The salt enables the mucus to be expelled more easily.
