Salt therapy, also known as halotherapy, is a cleansing therapy that involves breathing in air with micro salt particles. This practice leverages the natural benefits of salt, which include its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and immunity-boosting properties. By breathing in these particles, individuals can potentially enhance their overall well-being. We have 18,383 pounds of pure Himalayan Pink Salt in our Salt Mind™ Salt Room - which is 6,240 cubic feet of salty goodness! Pink Himalayan salt, also known as Himalayan salt, is a type of salt mined in Pakistan. Research suggests it contains up to 84 trace minerals. These minerals include calcium, potassium, iron, and magnesium, and are responsible for the salt's characteristic pink color. The salt is harvested by hand from the Khewra Salt Mine in the Punjab region of Pakistan and is minimally processed.
Salt therapy may provide a range of benefits, including:
Therapy Origin
Modern dry salt therapy has its origins from the salt mines and caves in Europe and Russia. The first health resort facility was opened at the Wieliczka Salt Mine in Poland in 1839.
Skin Health
Salt particles may help cleanse the skin, remove impurities, and normalize the body's pH balance. Salt may also act as an exfoliant and promote healthy oil management.
Immune Function
Salt has antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties that can help boost the immune system.
Mental Health
The negatively charged ions in salt can help relieve stress and anxiety by inducing the brain to secrete serotonin – which is considered a natural mood stabilizer.
Respiratory Health
Breathing in salt particles can help clear mucus from the airways, reduce inflammation, and improve lung capacity.
Detoxification
Salt minerals can help the body excrete toxins and remove fat cells, which can ease blood flow and reduce stretched skin cells.
