Healthy Nutrition was founded in 2009. Initially, our main activity has been distribution of dietary natural supplements, and diet foods supply to homoeopathic specialists, retirement villages and rehabilitation centres. Many of these patients suffer from respiratory affections, partly food induced, but mainly allergen, occupational and poor lifestyles (such as long-history of smoking, living in damp and non-insulated homes, etc.) triggered.
New Zealand has a high incidence of asthma and respiratory ailments, prevalent to children and young adults, most of them putting a high pressure on cost of medication funded through public healthcare organizations. According to recent studies, almost 600,000 kiwis suffer from asthma and COPD, 4500 being diagnosed also with CF (cystitic fibrosis).
Our company, started to look for alternative natural therapies proven in Central and Eastern Europe in the last couple of centuries in respiratory diseases treatment based on deep salt-cave air ionization method. One such cave, formed thousands of years ago and used extensively since 19th century for therapeutic purposes, is called Praid salt mine located in Brasov, Romania.
Thousands of people go underground each year to breathe in clear salty air (100% allergen free fresh air) 4 hours a day, 10 days long, therapy which involve considerable costs and requires travel long distance. Presently, there is a growing recognition of the benefits of the salt mine therapy for respiratory diseases in Europe, Canada and US, with more and more people finding salt mine therapy curative and reducing their respiratory symptoms. The unique microclimate of the salt caves or the salt mines has shown to help people suffering from asthma, rhinitis, bronchitis and COPD.
One company based in Brasov Romania, Salt Pharma Ltd. and another one, Halosense Inc. Canada, decided to use same specially formulated salt in order to develop new revolutionary products, to help those patients who suffer from respiratory diseases to find a natural therapy for their problems, without side effects. Their project was to develop affordable and comfortable to use devices for patients with respiratory ailments, in order to benefit from salt therapy whenever they want and wherever they are, with lowest costs ever possible.
Their products’ names are Dry Salt Inhaler (DSI), a short-term therapy portable oral/nasal inhaler made from high grade medical bio-compatible plastic, and Saltair Domo, an ultrasonic salinizer, used for long-term therapy, both replicating with great success the underground salt cave effects.
The Dry Salt Inhaler was patented in 2005 and registered officially as trademark in 2007. The Saltair Domo has been registered for international patent application in 2009 and is expected to get official approval later in 2010. Both products were presented at Medica 2009 Exhibition in Dusseldorf, Germany with great success.
Successful clinical trials, patient testimonials and innovation awards have endorsed these products and gave Healthy Nutrition Ltd more reasons to believe in their manufacturers, securing distribution rights for New Zealand market and beyond. We now complement our offer for asthma and respiratory diseases treatment recommending dietary natural supplements intake with natural salt-therapy and physical activity.
