  Did you know that:

  The saline aerosol treatment also treats respiratory and skin allergies, thyroid diseases, hypertension, vegetative neuroses, and general exhaustion. This treatment is recommended for both individuals in the recovery period after a serious illness and healthy people, as a way to strengthen their immunity. Such treatments should be utilized by city dwellers, individuals working in significantly dusty and high-temperature conditions, and voice professionals (e.g., teachers, singers, operators).

  Indications for treatment include:
  Bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis, chronic inflammation of the upper respiratory tract, coronary disease, heart failure, pre-infarction states, angina, hypotension, hypertension, osteoporosis, allergies, rheumatism, hypothyroidism, overweight, diabetes, neuroses, states of fatigue, rhinitis, sinusitis.

  The microclimate of the salt cave at Hotel Polaris:

  • improves lung ventilation, intensifies gas exchange, has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and bronchodilatory effects;
  • reduces fatigue, has calming and anti-stress effects;
  • lowers blood pressure, increases hemoglobin levels, restores acid-base balance.

  1. Smog comes from the English words smoke and fog. It consists of harmful chemical compounds, such as nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides, as well as PM10 suspended particles. The norms for the latter are exceeded by several hundred percent in all cities in Poland. This is not neutral for our health. PM10 particles are so small that they easily penetrate deep into the lungs. They settle on the walls of the alveoli, making breathing difficult. They cause inflammation of the upper respiratory tract, allergies, and asthma attacks. If inhaled for a long time, they can lead to lung, throat, and larynx cancers. According to WHO experts, at a PM10 concentration of 150 μg/m3 (three times above the norm), short-term mortality increases by 5 percent. It is estimated that due to PM10 inhalation, up to 400 residents of Krakow - a leader among polluted cities - die prematurely each year. Inhaling smog causes troublesome ailments. Symptoms may resemble a cold. It causes coughing attacks (as the body defends itself against pollution - trying to expel it), shortness of breath, itching of the nose and conjunctiva, red eyes, and increased mucus secretion (to protect the nasal mucosa). Smog impairs the defensive functions of the respiratory system, paving the way for bacteria and viruses.

  2. In a room with an active saline graduation tower, an aerosol rich in valuable micronutrients such as iodine, bromine, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, and sodium is formed. Breathing in saline aerosol-saturated air for half an hour provides a higher dose of absorbed minerals than spending an entire day at the beach! The iodine contained in the saline aerosol is responsible for proper thyroid function and helps thin bronchial mucus, which is particularly important for individuals struggling with upper respiratory diseases. The bromine in the saline aerosol effectively dilates the bronchi. The calcium in the aerosol has desensitizing properties. If the distance from the saline graduation tower is less than 1.5 meters, short 20-minute sessions are recommended.

  3. A therapeutic indication for inhalation is chronic and recurring inflammatory diseases of the respiratory system – colds, rhinitis, sinusitis, and even emphysema.

  4. Individuals recovering from a recent heart attack, those with cancer, and patients with acute coronary artery failure, as well as those allergic to iodine or with hyperthyroidism, should not use saline aerosol treatments. Fever is a temporary contraindication.
