But only in the 20th century it had been found the underground environment created by naturally occurring rock salt deposits had actually a great therapeutic impact on human respiratory system.


So what is so unique about microclimate  inside the Wieliczka Salt Mine that it can be successfully used for curing upper and lower respiratory track diseases, such as asthma, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) as well as all sorts of allergy related airways disorders?

 
The key element is the presence of a huge amount of natural rock salt deposits created by the nature 15 million years ago. Those deposits make the air inside the mine rich in therapeutic microelements, such as sodium chloride (NaCl), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn) and selenium (Se). The presence of those microelements as well as their well-balanced concentration within the inhaled air bring great relief for those suffering from respiratory system disorders.

So can you only imagine if you suddenly found yourself in the environment free from all those hazards? What an ultimate relief would it be for your respiratory system!
 


Not to mention slightly increased air pressure (1000 mmHg), which is perfect for general well-being as well as slightly increased carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration (0.1-0.2%) that stimulates breathing.
