I believe that inhalation therapy is a phrase which is no longer used in English. Respiratory therapy is another alternative - defined as follows 'respiratory therapy; the diagnostic and therapeutic use of medical gases and their apparatus' (free medical dictionary).

Note from asker:
Non sono sicura che tradurre con "aerosol" sia la soluzione più appropriata, soprattutto considerato che più avanti nell'elenco trovo anche "aerosol sonico" e "aerosol jonico". Questi due termini non devo tradurli, però. Credo che opterò per la tua alternativa, "respiratory treatment", mi sembra si avvicini di più a ciò che sto cercando.

inhalation treatments

seems like a pretty common way of translating it.

With inhalation it is meant the introduction of mineral water or its gaseous components in the respiratory tract through special equipment that nebulizes the water into very small particles.

Inhalation Therapy
Steam vapor treatments that offer relief for those suffering from impaired respiratory function due to illness or smoking. Vapor is often mixed with herbal elements such as eucalyptus or camphor. This form of therapy is often found at spas with access to a mineral or thermal spring.

I get more hits for inhalation treatments than aerosol treatments. with aerosol treatments appearing more in medical contexts.
