preventive health purposes

The Netherlands, 3. August 2010

Microsalt has recently installed her Dry Salt Aerosol Inhalation solution at a privately operated lung clinic in Moedling, Austria. Dr. C. Wildner, owner of the clinic, has performed an extensive evaluation of available Dry Salt Aerosol solutions during spring 2010.

In July 2005, Microsalt initiator Bart Zonnenberg decided to learn more about the phenomenon of halotherapy and speleotherapy. As a result of the solutions available at that time to create controlled dry salt aerosol microclimates, Microsalt decided to invest in technology that would meet the specifications demanded by independent physicians who have experience with the results that halotherapy can offer to people with dysfunctions on airways or skin.

Installation of a Dry Salt Aerosol environment requires special expertise. Our people have vast expertise on air flow behavior and understand the impact of criteria like temperature and humidity on airborne salt aerosol particles.

Based on the physical location where a Dry Salt Aerosol environment is installed, Microsalt works out a detailed plan in collaboration with her customer. On average the installation, testing and calibration of the technology takes from 0,5 day up to 2 days.

Microsalt has performed extensive testing on various salts available today. Based on salt aerosol behavior in the air, experience of her customers and because there is no evidence available yet that inhalation of mineral rich salt is healthy, Microsalt uses the purest sodium chloride available to the market today.

A Microsalt Salounge microclimate consists of clean dried air that is brought inside the room on a predefined temperature. The air supply is constant as well as the exhaust of it.

Microsalt uses adsorption dryer devices as well as proprietary air conditioning device that manages temperatures throughout the year.

A Salounge consists of a relaxation room and adjacent technology room. Depending on where the Salounge is situated, an entrance room might be needed to ensure that humidity stays outside the room (e.g. when the Salounge is located close to a swimming pool.

All 3 rooms are actively dried to ensure an optimal climate for respiratory cleaning services and to avoid that the building materials can corrode.
The following technology components create the Dry Salt Aerosol climate required:
• The Microsalt Dry Salt Aerosol Micronizer.

In order to have natural medication-free inhalation therapies based on Dry Salt Aerosol be more and more accepted in many countries in the future, Microsalt invests in research performed by scientific medical institutes.

One of the important reasons for getting scientific proof of the offered health support solutions is that Microsalt wants to create more access to this therapy for many people. Health insurance companies might support the inhalation therapy in the future as an alternative therapy to medication which could help many people suffering from respiratory discomforts.

Product development within Microsalt is an important asset to stay ahead of the competition. Microsalt develops her solutions in collaboration with institutes that have vast expertise in various areas, reaching from industrial processing and air quality control to climatization and visualization techniques. Microsalt believes that product development will lead to an optimal fit to market demands and invests time and capital to fulfill her customers needs now and in the future.

Inhalation treatments in natural salt caves (Speleotherapy) have been known since long.
