Hello.
We have found ourselves in a difficult situation in the salt room business. Our company has been reported by another company engaged in the same activity because we published on our website and Facebook profile in the summer a picture and text showing how salt therapies have worked for psoriasis.  As a result of this report to the Health Inspectorate, we were actually found to be in breach of the law because, under Slovenian law, only the medical profession can use this word and its derivatives as, for example, a treatment. It was also found that we were not allowed to mention any medical conditions for which salt therapy helps, not even coughs, fevers and snot. The problem has arisen because when you open a salt therapy business, you have to register under body care, because there is no other, more suitable choice. What we can use now, after the inspector's findings, are just three words:
- prevention,
- relaxation,
- well-being.
Despite the submission of clinical studies that have been done in Europe, this was not sufficient with the inspector. So we had to follow the inspector's findings and remove from our website and Facebook profile all posts containing those words. Inspectors will now visit all salt rooms, because the rules are the same for all of them.  We have established the Salt Rooms Association of Slovenia to act and defend our interests under a common name. Why do we have such a law that only the medical profession can use the term health, cure and refer to illnesses? Why do we not have a choice in people's treatment decisions and more information about alternative healing methods, if they do help?
