It seems too simple to be true—salt as therapy for asthma, allergies, eczema and stress. Ancient texts—including the Bible—document the therapeutic uses of salt for thousands of years. Even Hippocrates used salt to treat his patients.
Now you can get salt therapy—right in your own neighborhood.
Salt therapy (also known as halotherapy) is administered in a special spa-like room with salt-coated walls and floor. A halogenerator creates microscopic particles of pulverized pharmaceutical-grade salt and spreads them throughout the room.
A session involves lounging in a cozy room and passively breathing in the particles. You can listen to soothing music, read or just relax in a zero-gravity chair. Also, toys are provided so children can play with the salt in the room, much like sand at the beach.
How Does Salt Therapy Work?
The salt particles enter the lungs through the nasal passages, accelerating mucus clearance and improving lung function. The particles also kill harmful bacteria and soothe the respiratory system. This 100% drug-free treatment is effective and has no side effects. It may lessen the need for prescription antihistamines, inhalers and nasal sprays.
Studies show that the antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties of salt help with skin conditions such as acne, dermatitis and eczema.
Moreover, halotherapy has a relaxing effect on the nervous system. Soft music, dimmed lights and the absence of electronic devices for a solid 45 minutes lend to its spa-like atmosphere.
The antimicrobial and calming properties of salt therapy may explain how it helps decrease the inflammatory response of the body, prevent the flare-ups of respiratory and skin conditions and promote an overall feeling of well-being.
