Speleo therapy ["speleo" means cave] - treatment in natural salt mines has been known for centuries. Hippocrates mentioned salt mines and their therapeutic properties. Later, in 19th century F.Bochkowsky, a Polish physician first formulated theory that the air saturated with salt aerosols is the main curative effect in speleo therapy. Ever since salt mines have begun to be used for therapeutic purposes in many european countries such Austria, Hungary, Ukraine, Germany, Poland, Romania, Russia, among others.
