Halotherapy is an analog of speleotherapy, which implies treatment with “salty” air. Sessions in salt caves can significantly prolong the period of remission and, in general, have a positive effect on the respiratory system.

It is necessary to limit the consumption of baked goods, dairy products, sugar, and salt. It is advisable to steam food. The diet should include 4-5 meals of warm food per day. It is recommended to saturate the menu with cereals, hated soups, vegetable and fruit salads. You can eat doctor’s sausages, lean meats, rye and bran bread, oatmeal, or biscuit biscuits.
