In salina sunt inhalati aerosoli salini prin care se trateaza diverse afectiuni in special afectiunile respiratorii .
Aerosolii sunt micro-particule aflate in suspensie intr-un mediu gazos.
Aerosolii salini sunt inhalati in mod natural de catre curant pe ambele cai: nazal si pe gura.


Aerosolii salini de dimensiuni cuprinse intre 0,5-0,9 microni, se depun pe caile respiratorii superioare: cavitatea bucala, cavitatile nazale, faringe.
Aerosolii de dimensiuni mici, cei cu marimi intre 0,1-0,5 ajung in organele inferioare ale aparatului respirator: laringe, bronhii, bronhiole, alveole pulmonare.

Prin absortia de catre aceste organe, aerosolii salini realizeaza actiunile de dezinfectie,fluidizare a mucoaselor, eliminarea toxinelor, refacerea elasticitatii membranelor celulelor,reducerea PH-ului pe ariile organelor de respiratie, reducerea si gruparea micro-organismelor iritante.


Prin inhalarea aerosolilor, caile respiratorii sunt curatate de focarele de infectie , prezente atat la adulti cat mai ales la copii, focare ce declanseaza si intretin numeroase boli respiratorii (in majoritatea cazurilor recidivante, devenind cronice) si prin a caror prezenta,imunitatea organismului, scade treptat.

Sarea, prin natura sa este o substanta bactericida, care nu permite dezvoltarea culturilor microbiene, comportandu-se ca un dezinfectant. Prin depunerea si absortia ionilor salini, la nivelul cailor respiratorii atat superioare cat si cele inferioare, conjugate si cu proprietatea puternic higroscopica, ia nastere efectul de dilutie a depunerilor de impuritati sau materie straina corpului uman (inclusiv microorganisme), care provoaca boli si disfunctii respiratorii, pornind de la simple raguseli, bronsite si chiar astm.

Inspirarea de aerosoli salini este mai mult decat necesara, prin absortia lor, actionand in primul rand direct asupra mucusului. Acestea duc la lichefierea si fluidizarea mucusului de pe caile respiratorii, realizand astfel extragerea materiilor straine dintre cilii si din micro-cavitatile tractului respirator,determinand astfel usurarea progresiva si de lunga durata a respiratiei.
Persoanele din salina intra in contact prin intermediul pielii cu atmosfera incarcata cu aerosoli salini. Acestia sunt absorbiti la nivelul pielii expuse, in proportii corespunzatoare absortiei oxigenului, umiditatii si desigur prin depunere/precipitare datorita umezelii si diferentei de temperatura a suprafetei pielii fata de atmosfera.

Great Salt mines is arranged at 225 meters above sea level covers an area of 10,000 square meters.The park has a church, a museum, restaurants, souvenir shops, bars, a soccer field, basketball, tennis, pool table, children's playgrounds, etc..
The mines can be reached using the road DN 67 (Copacelu street of the city) and Alexandru Ioan Cuza city street that intersects with it. Cuza street from Big mines, there is a sign "For Mine" and after aprox.200 me reach where they are parked minibus carrying tourists underground
Diseases which can be treated in salt are:- Asthma (infectious, allergic, extrinsic, intrinsic, mixed)- Respiratory infections (angina, pharyngitis, tracheo-bronchitis, pneumonia, rinoadeuridite)- Bronchitis asthmatiform- Bronsiectazie (without haemoptysis)- Pneumoconiosis- Chronic tracheobronchitis- Chronic Rhinitis- Maxillary sinusitis / chronic- Bisinoza- Silicosis gr I and gr II- Throat polyps- Chronic Tonsillitis- Restrictive respiratory failure- Emphysema- Various types of allergies- Neurosis- Chronic fatigue- Allergies

Contraindications

The saline is inhaled saline aerosols which treat various diseases, especially respiratory diseases. Aerosols are micro-particles suspended in a gaseous environment. Inhaled saline aerosol are naturally by the treating both ways: nasal and mouth.
Saline aerosol sizes ranging from 0.5 to 0.9 microns, is deposited on the upper airway: oral cavity, nasal cavities, pharynx. Small aerosols, those with sizes between 0.1 to 0.5 to reach the lower respiratory organs: larynx, bronchi, bronhiole, pulmonary alveoli.
The absorption by these organs, undertakes saline aerosol disinfection, flow of mucous, toxins, restoring elasticity of cell membranes, reducing the pH of the areas of respiratory organs, and reduce micro-organisms irritant group.
Inhalation aerosol, airways are cleaned by outbreaks of infection, present in both adults especially in children, which trigger and maintain numerous outbreaks of respiratory disease (in most cases recurrent become chronic) and in whose presence, immunity decreases gradually.
Salt, by its nature is a bactericidal substance, which prevents the development of microbial cultures, and acting as a disinfectant. By submitting absorption saline ions, both the upper airway and lower levels, combined with high hygroscopic property, take birth dilution effect of the deposition of impurities or foreign material body (including microorganisms), which causes respiratory diseases and disorders , ranging from simple raguseli, bronchitis and even asthma.
Inhalation of saline aerosols is more than required by their absorption, primarily by acting directly on mucus. They lead to liquefaction and flow of mucus from the airways, thus making removal of foreign material and micro-cavities cilia respiratory tract, thereby relieving the progressive and long breath. People of salt comes in contact with the skin through saline aerosol loaded atmosphere. They are absorbed in the skin exposed to oxygen absorptions corresponding proportions, and of course by filing moisture / precipitation due to moisture and skin surface temperature difference from the atmosphere.
