Salt Therapy

Himalayan “pink” salt comes from crystallized sea salt beds that were uplifted by mountain building into the Khewra Salt Range of northern Pakistan. The underground salt formations are protected from modern-day pollution and formed from ancient oceans, leading to the belief that Himalayan Pink Salt is the purest salt to be found from the Earth. Himalayan salts are packed crystals with over eighty minerals and elements which formed naturally within the earth. The rocks are made up of sodium chloride and other trace minerals including: iron, potassium, sulfate, magnesium, calcium, bicarbonate, bromide, borate, and strontium. Because of these minerals, Himalayan pink salt is believed to have the following benefits:

• Regulating the water content throughout your body
• Promoting healthy pH balance in your cells
• Promoting blood sugar health
• Assisting in the generation of hydroelectric energy in cells in your body
• Absorption of food particles through your intestinal tract
• Prevention of muscle cramps
• Promoting bone strength
• Assisting in replenishing electrolytes
• Assisting in alkalizing the body and preventing excess acid

Himalayan salt is great for us via our digestion system but is not recommended for the Respiratory system. We only use Pharmaceutical grade Pure sodium chloride.

Unfortunately, at this time it is not FDA approved. The approval process is very involved and takes many years. Salt Works chose their Halogenerator manufacturer and consulting company because it is actively working to get standards in place and get the approval process happening!

No . . . you would never want to be able to see the salt in the air. For the session to be therapeutic the salt must be micronized to a size of between 1-5mg, not visible to the human eye.

Absolutely! Salt Therapy helps increase lung function and breathing capacity. Athletes find that once they have optimized their breathing, they can achieve better performance, using less breath. This means they have more air in reserve to achieve outstanding performance.
Clinical Trials have shown that Salt Therapy is effective in:

1. clearing any excess mucous from the airways
2. providing anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects in the whole respiratory tract
3. reducing bronchial sensitization and improving lung function
4. helping to clear unwanted, inhaled particles from the respiratory tract

Integrating Halotherapy into a training routine may induce better lung function and improve performance. Why not get the edge? All athletes, regardless of the sport or level they play may benefit from visiting a salt cave prior to a competition.

The primary goal of every athlete is to achieve their absolute, maximum potential. Salt Therapy has been found to aid in Sport Performance Enhancement. One of the most important determinants of whether this is possible is an optimum breathing pattern and lung capacity. As an athlete, you know that every advantage counts. Salt Therapy can help you get that edge.

While going to the beach and breathing in the ocean’s salt air is great for the body & mind, salt therapy takes the benefits to a whole new level. Dry salt is able to move through both the upper and lower respiratory tracts where wet salt can only reach the upper airways. Dry salt is negatively charged, therefore, able to revive cilia and speed up its motion. The cilia line our respiratory tract and are covered by a layer of mucous. When a foreign particle such as dust is inhaled, the job of the cilia is to beat, causing the mucous to travel towards your mouth so it can be coughed out. Salt therapy speeds up that process and in some cases where that process is non-existent it works to get it started.

You will enter a beautiful room where you will see Himalayan salt on the walls and on the floor. You will have comfortable zero- recliners to relax in, with heated neck wraps and light blankets are supplied. The Himalayan salt brick wall is lit up and relaxing music will be playing. It’s our guest choice. You can choose to listen to the relaxing music, read a book, meditate, or simply rest. If you choose, you may add Salty Sounds to you session. This is an informative guided meditation via headphones that talks about salt therapy with beach scene relaxing guided imagery. Highly recommended!

We ask that you are aware and respectful of the other guests in the salt room and use quiet whispers.  The temperature and humidity in the rooms are controlled and needed to provide the cleanest and best Halotherapy experience. You will find pure relaxation and tranquility away from your everyday stress leaving you rejuvenated and fully energized!
