About Salt Therapy NI

Salt Therapy NI is a group of five businesses in various locations across NI dedicated to relieving the symptoms of respiratory illness through alternative therapy.

So convinced of its benefits, through our own experience and from what we see and hear from our clients, we have come together to raise awareness about the treatment and lobby health decision makers to take its therapeutic value seriously.

We recognise the need for more local evidence-based research to support our work and are pro-actively seeking academic partnerships with local universities.

Our aim is to ensure Salt Therapy is easily accessible and affordable to all.

Sylvia Darragh is a holistic medicine practitioner and owner of Natural Salt Therapy Ltd based in Aghalee, near Lurgan and Portadown in Northern Ireland.

“I started using salt therapy for recurring chest infections and couldn’t believe the relief I got and the improvement to my health. I was also shocked at the improvement in my skin condition with psoriasis on my leg disappearing after six to seven weeks from starting the therapy.”

As well as providing Salt Therapy to customers and clients, her business naturalsalttherapy.co.uk is the only distributor for Iiris Halogenerators (salt grinder) in Ireland and the UK.

Natural Salt Therapy offers a one stop solution for anyone wishing to set up a salt therapy facility fosr personal or multiple use.

Jacqueline Beggs offers Salt Therapy from her premises based in Larne. She began her business after experiencing the benefits of the treatment first hand while attending Seabreeze Salt Therapy in Doagh.

“In my mid-40’s I was diagnosed as having the lungs of a 70-year-old. I had never smoked, but had bad asthma as a child which led to scarring on my lungs. Different inhalers provided little relief. A nurse advised me to try Salt Therapy and it was the first thing that helped my symptoms. My husband, who works in a dusty job and is used to taking up to two courses of antibiotics every year has also benefited. That’s why we decided to open our own clinic in Larne.

“Our story started with our son who suffered from respiratory difficulties and eczema. We tried Salt Therapy as a remedy and the results were amazing.”

Gill Baxter runs SeaBreeze Salt Therapy in Doagh, just outside Ballyclare. It was established by her friend, Marie Todd in 2012 who had been recommended to try Salt Therapy for her son Ross, a child with special needs.

He had been suffering from a constant cough which antibiotics couldn’t seem to treat. At the time, there were only two Salt Therapy clinics operating in NI; one in Belfast, the other in Lurgan.

Ross began a 12-session treatment in the Belfast clinic and his condition improved greatly. Three months later, Marie tried to book more sessions for Ross but the clinic had been flood damaged and closed.

With the other Salt Therapy business based in Lurgan and a three hour round trip away, Marie started her own business in Doagh to enable Ross to continue benefiting from the treatment.

“The business has been running successfully since it was founded with Marie handing over the management of it to me. I am just as passionate about the treatment as she is. It’s great to see the steady and marked improvement of those coming to us suffering from various respiratory issues and skin conditions.”
