Research on dry salt therapy

Dry saline aerosol therapy offers remarkable benefits for horses, particularly those suffering from respiratory conditions like mild equine asthma. Recent studies, such as the research by Condor et al. (2022), highlight that this therapy can significantly improve arterial blood gas parameters in affected horses, leading to better oxygenation and overall respiratory function. Supported by findings from experts at the Maxwell H. Gluck Equine Research Center, dry saline aerosol therapy has been shown to help manage inflammation and boost lung immunity. This innovative approach to equine respiratory care not only enhances lung function but also contributes to improved athletic performance and quality of life for horses.
