What is Salt Therapy…….
- Antibacterial
- Anti fungal
- Anti-inflammatory
- Loosens excessive mucus
- Removes pathogen agents (airborne pollen)
- Reduce the need for antibiotics
- Easier breathing
- Improve lung function
- Clear mucus from the lungs
- Increase the resistance to respiratory tract disease
- Strengthen immune system
- Helps with skin issues (ringworm, sweet itch) and skin allergies & conditions
The salt used is a 100% natural, medical grade and drug free. It has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antihistamine properties.
The procedure is delivered over a period of sessions through the Newmarket Equine Salt Therapy System, which is innovative in the field of equine therapy and is the only medically certified controlled device on the market. The unit is mobile and can be set up in your own stable where the concentration is measured and maintained by a laser sensor. The system allows the microscopic particles of salt to be dispersed into the air, the tiny particles are inhaled deep into the lungs where the greatest healing can be achieved, aiding mucus release & reducing inflammation within the airways for easier breathing.
Salt therapy not only cleanses from the inside but gives great results on the outside. The skin being the largest organ naturally absorbs the salt, enabling it to assist with alleviating skin issues such as sweet itch and ringworm. The salt reduces any inflammation to the aggravated areas and also improves the circulation of the skin surface, helping with skin irritations, allergies and the overall well being of the animal.
For respiratory issues we can provide a cleanse process for horses, making them clearer in their system and restoring their ultimate capacity to breathe. This in turn provides as much oxygen into the blood as possible, raises their energy levels and helps their immune system. It is beneficial for upper and lower respiratory problems including COPD/RAO and coughing which can be caused by allergies & infections. We have found that even with a ‘pick me up’ session that stamina and endurance is increased and performances much improved.
What to expect at your Salt Therapy Treatment
Length of treatment plan: So much depends on how deep seated the issue is with the horse and how long they have had it, the age of the horse etc. We always begin with an initial cleanse of 3 sessions over 3 consecutive days (this may need to be 5 sessions over 5 days for more deep seated issues).
Subsequent sessions are typically on a one off top-up basis or for a deep seated issue we may initially need to continue with consecutive sessions on an intermittent basis.
Time: Each session lasts approx. 20 minutes
Where: We visit you at your yard with our mobile unit and the treatment takes place in your horses stable, where they are most relaxed. Ideally, we need an enclosed stable with a top door, and an accessible power supply.
Important – To get the best from your session, we ask that horses are not worked an hour before or an hour after treatment.

Racing ahead of the field……
There are static systems installed at some of the most prestigious Racing Establishments in the world including:
Regional Therapy
Newmarket Equine Salt Therapy have developed a mobile halo generator system so that we can easily travel to your horse without the disruption of bringing your horse to us. The unit is compact in size and quiet when in operation. We can come to you/your yard and just need an enclosed stable/area to work in.
From our experience we prefer NOT to use a trailer or horse lorry as we believe horses are mostly relaxed in their own environment and keeping animals stress free is ultimate. Although if this is the environment that your horse is most relaxed in, we are happy to work around their needs. We will of course also need an electrical point to power the halo-generator.
Permanent Installation
We can install our system into an existing stable/room or arrange a bespoke unit to suit your requirements, and offer a free no obligation quote on request. The advantages of having a permanent unit allows the horses to be treated as and when they need it, such as pre-race or event, for respiratory, allergy or skin issues, or as a regular health top-up. It’s in your hands.
With purchases of our system we offer a fully dedicated intensive training period and ongoing support. The Newmarket Equine Salt Therapy System comes with 2 year manufacturer’s guarantee from date of installation or hand over.
