YEREVAN. - High probability for pulmonary disease mainly occurs after 40 years, expert at the Armenia’s Ministry of Healthcare Andranik Voskanyan said at a press conference on Monday.

According to him, salt therapy (speleotherapy) plays a very important role in Armenia. Its main feature is the recreational character, which is restoration with the help of underground rest.

“This method is helpful not only for people, who are sick, but also for next generations, as majority of pregnant women may get rid of the disease prior to giving birth to their children,” he claimed.
