If you have asthma you get used to feeling a bit inadequate. Blotchy-faced and itchy-eyed, I'm often on the verge of an inappropriate sneeze. At school I was last in cross-country running, wheezing my way over the finishing line. And in adulthood, my breath whistles and my sinuses throb. Which is why I'm not remotely bothered by having to wear a hairnet and sit in a room full of salt. I would do anything to rid myself of this respiratory flaw. My condition is mild and I have luckily never had an attack, but I have to use an inhaler twice a day, with another on hand for emergencies. How I would love to bin them for good and breathe free and easy.
I have high hopes for the Salt Cave in south-west London. It is the first clinic of its kind in the UK, offering "drug-free relief for respiratory illnesses", such as hayfever, bronchitis and sinusitis, plus allergies, eczema and psoriasis.
The "cave" is a bit like a salty igloo. There are salt drifts everywhere, underfoot and lining the walls. The hairnet and the shoe covers are to keep the room free of dirt, while the sound of waves and seagulls played inside enhances the weird, seaside effect. But the two tonnes of salt are purely decorative. The supposed medical benefit comes from breathing in sodium chloride aerosol, which is piped into the "cave" by a microclimate generator. This mixes milled salt with a current of air. The theory is that by breathing this in, mucus in the respiratory tract is loosened and coughed up.
