Our Salt Caverns are a kind of recreation on the surface of the Earth of the original salt mine galleries. Appearance of our salt caverns is similar to that of the real drifts in the Wieliczka Salt Mine.

Our Salt Caves are almost identical in terms physical, chemical and biological conditions, which also means effect on health, with their Wieliczka models. The appearance and structure of the mine excavation has been restored with extraordinary care, and the system of air conditioning and ventilation devices maintains temperature, humidity and the special, unique microclimate that prevails in the mine at the depths down to 300 m.

Therapeutic advantages of the Salt Caverns microclimate consist in creation of natural aerosols, i.e. modified air is the dispersion phase, and solid or liquid particles create the diffuse phase. It is very important that diffuse components are negatively charged.

Negative ionisation has very positive effect on the human body. It has been clinically proven that it has superb therapeutic effect in treating asthma, slows down and deepens breathing, accelerates movement of respiratory epithelium, accelerates oxidation of serotonin and neutralises pathological effect of positive ions. In general, it has the following effects: anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, spasmolytic, and it regulates management of minerals and cleanses the respiratory tract.

Each of the elements which form the aerosols released in the salt caverns has positive effect on health and wellbeing of the people who are in the caverns.

  • iron: prevents anaemia, eliminates drowsiness and increases resistance to infections
  • calcium: prevents conditions in the bone and joint system
  • magnesium: protects against metabolic disorders, hypercholesterolemia and oxalosis (gallstones and kidney stones), reduces excitability
  • copper: eliminates metabolic disorders and is conducive for better assimilation of iron
  • manganese: reduces toxic properties of many harmful compounds in daily life
  • zinc: prevents prostate diseases and growth disorders
  • selenium: sweeps free radicals and protects against cancerous illnesses by neutralisation of harmful effect of mercury, lead and cadmium present in polluted air, and delays the body ageing process
  • lithium: prevents sclerosis and heart diseases and even, to some extent, diabetes
  • iodine: prevents thyroid diseases.

The research proved therapeutic value of staying in a salt cavern in case of:

  • respiratory illnesses affecting nose, throat, larynx and sinuses
  • asthma, chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis
  • pneumoconiosis
  • heart and cardiovascular diseases: hypertension, cardiovascular problems, conditions after myocardial infarction
  • peptic ulcers of stomach and duodenum, gastritis, unusual intestine inflammations, Crohn's disease,
  • dermatological conditions: psiorasis, skin inflammation, allergies
  • hypothyroidism
  • dysfunctions of autonomic nervous system .
  • neuroses and exhaustion

Salt cellars

A salt cellar is a small dish for holding salt. The use of salt cellars continued through the 1940s, but has been in decline since and been gradually replaced with salt shakers.

Salt caverns use - part 3rd

UNCONVENTIONAL USES
Some unconventional concepts have been proposed for the use of salt caverns. A number of these are noted here.
Storage of food grains in salt caverns, with pneumatic conveyance systems, has been proposed. Storage of liquid natural gas (LNG) in salt caverns is appealing, because volume requirements are reduced by a factor of about 600 from the gas phase.

Salt lakes - Baskunchak

Lake Baskunchak (Russian: Баскунчак) is a salt lake of 115 kmē in Astrakhan Oblast, Russia, located at 48°10′N, 46°53′E, about 270 km north of the Caspian Sea, and 53 km east of the Volga. Since 1997 the area is strictly protected as nature reserve.

Salt caverns use - part 2nd

MAIN USES

Salt caverns basically constitute very large underground openings that provide secure containment for materials that do not dissolve salt. In general, uses of salt caverns can be classified as either storage or disposal operations. Storage of liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons, and associated products, was successful early on, and remains the main use of salt caverns today. Disposal of wastes and “by-product” constitutes the next most important use of salt caverns. Some examples of these two main types of operations follow.
