Haloterapi (Tuz Tedavisi)

Asırlardır tüm canlılar için yaşamsal bir öneme sahip olan tuz, besin olarak kullanılması yanında haloterapi, speleoterapi, turizm ve güzel sanatlar uygulamaları gibi amaçlarla da kullanılmaktadır. Bu derlemenin amacı haloterapinin terapötik olarak kullanımını ilgili literatür verileri ışığında tartışmak ve yapılacak ileri çalışmalar için farkındalık sağlamaktır. Ulaşılabilen literatürler incelendiğinde, haloterapi solunum yolu ve alerji hastalıkları başta olmak üzere çok sayıda hastalık üzerinde özellikle yurt dışında ve bazı bölgelerde de sağlık turizmi kapsamında etkili olduğu düşünülerek uygulamaya konulmuştur. Ülkemizdeki doğal tuz kaynakları düşünüldüğünde sağlık alanında kullanılabilmesi ve sağlık turizminde cazibe merkezleri olarak planlanabilmesi için iyi planlanmış ileri düzeyde bilimsel çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır. Bu derlemede haloterapinin muhtemel kullanım alanları, bilinen etki mekanizmaları, yan tesirleri, kontrendikasyonları ve riskleri sunulmuştur. Yine bu derlemede; literatürden elde edilen veriler, güncel tedavi rehberleri ile kıyaslanarak; yayımlanan makalelerin bilimsel metodoloji açısından eksik kısımları ortaya konulmuştur. Dolayısı ile haloterapinin etkililiği ve güvenliliği konusunda iyi dizayn edilmiş bilimsel çalışmalara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.

Halotherapy (Salt Therapy)

Salt, which has a vital importance for all living things for centuries, is also used for purposes such as halotherapy, speleotherapy, tourism and fine arts applications. The aim of thisr eview is to discuss the therapeutic use of halotherapy in the light of relevant literatüre and to provide awareness for further studies. Considering the available literature, halotherapy has been put into practice considering that it is effective in health tourism, especially in abroad and in some regions, on many diseases including respiratory and allergy diseases. Considering the natural salt resources in our country, well-designed further scientific studies are needed in order to be used in health area and to be planned as attraction centers in health tourism. In this review, the possible uses of halotherapy, known mechanisms of action, side effects, contraindications and risks are presented. In this review; data from the literatüre are compared with current treatment guidelines; the missing parts of the published articles in terms of scientific methodology have been put forward. Therefore, there is a need for well-designed scientific studies on the effectiveness and safety of halotherapy.
