Can application of a salt aerosol induce complications in the cardiovascular, urinary excretion systems?

The halotherapeutic method uses extremely small doses of sodium chloride. Thus, in 1 hour of a halotherapeutic procedure with aerosol concentration of 5 mg/m3 and ventilation of 10 liters per minute, the dose of sodium chloride is only 3 mg. To compare: upon inhalation of 5 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride solution the patient receives 45 mg of sodium chloride. The daily consumption of common salt with food is 5-6 g, often more. Therefore, the method is completely harmless when there is a necessity to limit salt consumption (hypertension, kidney trouble, pregnancy, etc.). Recently halotherapy has found application in healing combined bronchopulmonary pathology in cardiologic patients, including after surgical interventions.
