00:14 John Tickell: Hi there. I'm Dr. John Tickell, and I'm an ambassador with Salts
of the Earth. Interesting, the last 30 years, I've been travelling this world with my two
medical doctor children, looking at the living habits of the longest living healthiest people
on earth and the diseases they get and the diseases we get. And it's interesting, salt...
People said, "Well, salt therapy. What is it, doctor?"
00:37 JT: Salt therapy is the breathing in of minute particles of salt in the air, which
gets into your lungs and helps. And it's interesting, this started way back in the 1700s, the 1800s,
where people in Europe were sitting in salt caves and salt mines, and their breathing
was improving. The salt therapy loosens mucus, so when you've got things like asthma and
bronchitis and allergic rhinitis, runny nose, colds, flus, all those sorts of things, the
mucus loosens up and you can cough it up better. And it reduces inflammation in your lungs
and the breathing becomes better. So, people feel better. They sleep better. Their allergic
responses drop down. And it's amazing 'cause the mucus comes up. So, salt therapy has worked
for over 200 years and now it's scientifically proven.
01:24 JT: Did you know that up to 35% of our children have got allergies? That's amazing,
isn't it? 50 years ago, 1%. 35%. So anything that can help without nasty reactions is a
positive. And we're now working in conjunction with my medical colleagues, right? So we,
your GP, your specialists. So this is not a cure. This relieves symptoms of these lung
diseases and skin problems. I'm very happy to be associated with Salts of the Earth because
as a therapy, it's complementary.
01:57 JT: I'm a member of Salts of the Earth. Are you?
