What should I know before coming for my salt cave session?
What is Halotherapy (Salt Therapy)?
Halotherapy, a natural therapy practiced since the 18th century, is a key feature of our Salt Cave. We utilize a halogenerator to grind 99.99% pure sodium chloride (table salt) into microscopic particles, which are then dispersed into the air during your session.
Dry salt therapy works to cleanse the respiratory system and skin, alleviating congestion, inflammation, and various skin conditions. This non-invasive therapy has also been shown to enhance mental wellness by reducing anxiety, stress, and fatigue. Additionally, salt therapy is emerging as a promising option for improving asthma, immune health, and overall respiratory function.
A healthy body, mind, and spirit can positively transform all other aspects of your life.
Benefits of Salt Therapy
Skin Conditions
Regular and consistent dry salt therapy may help improve the general health and appearance of the skin as well as help people with the following various skin conditions:
- Psoriasis
- Itching
- Eczema
- Swelling & Inflammation
- Dermatitis
- Dry & Flaky Skin
- Acne
- Rashes
- Rosacea
- Skin Aging
For skin conditions, high concentration and aggressive administration of dry salt, and consistency of the sessions are the key elements for successful results.
Respiratory
Inhaling dry salt helps to coat the walls of your airways, drawing out inflammation and congestion. Some individuals may experience mild coughing as their lungs clear during the session, so feel free to bring a sealed water bottle into your session with you. The anti-inflammatory effects can open up the airways, increase oxygen intake, and cleanse the respiratory system of dust, pollutants, smoke, and other allergens. Respiratory conditions that may benefit from this therapy include asthma, breathlessness, bronchitis, COPD, cystic fibrosis, colds and flu (during the non-contagious phase), rhinitis, sinusitis, and smoker’s cough. Additionally, this natural treatment can effectively relieve headaches, sore throats, and ear infections.
Sleep & Stress
Salt, a negative ion mineral, calms the nervous system and significantly promotes a positive mood. Users often report feeling instantly relaxed and refreshed, with anxiety and stress melting away. Increased oxygen intake, combined with reduced inflammation, leads to higher energy levels and a renewed sense of vitality. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory properties of salt open up the airways, promoting better sleep quality and helping to prevent snoring.
Fitness
Salt therapy is a medically proven, drug-free method to support sports recovery and post-workout rejuvenation. By cleansing the respiratory system, it maximizes oxygen intake, combats exercise-induced free radical damage, and promotes muscle recovery. Professional athletes, regular gym-goers, marathon runners, and anyone seeking to improve their fitness depend on optimal breath control. Salt therapy enhances respiratory and cardiovascular function, regardless of the presence of respiratory conditions.
Additionally, halotherapy acts as a disinfectant, clearing the airways of bacteria, microorganisms, and infections, while preventing microbial cultures from developing in the body. This leads to increased oxygen levels and respiratory volume, thereby improving athletic performance.
Well Being
Salt possesses natural anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antihistamine properties, making it effective in detoxifying the body, strengthening the immune system, and alleviating symptoms of various respiratory and skin conditions. Additionally, salt particles generate a powerful negative ion environment that can enhance mood, boost immune function, and promote recovery and overall wellness.
It is crucial to recognize that salt therapy is a complementary therapy, not an alternative one. It is intended to promote general wellness and provide symptom relief for certain respiratory and skin conditions alongside but not in place of existing medications.
