Halotherapy
Healing the body from the inside out, you will relax and breathe easy in this zen-like salt environment. Unwind, meditate and breathe-in naturally ionized salt air and refresh your lungs with this clarifying treatment. Wearing comfortable clothing and soft socks, all you have to do is sit back, relax and breathe in our zero gravity chairs while listening to beautiful calming music paired with aromatherapy.
Our Salt Cave is filled floor-to ceiling with over 25,000 lbs of Himalayan Crystal Salt. Humidity is created and maintained at the optimal level of approximately 60 percent by brine graduation towers, while air temperature is exactly 69˚F, creating the unique microclimate necessary for salt ionization consistent with the healing factors of halotherapy. It’s physical presence can be seen as mini stalactites and stalagmites (secondary sedimentation) are forming on the walls and ceiling of the cave. Our cave has a high microbial cleanliness, free from fungi, pollen, dust mites and bacteria; as salt naturally inhibits their development.
Rock salt contains 84 minerals, some of which are sodium, potassium, calcium, iron, and iodine that are released in a form of micro elementary particles of ionic aerosol to the cave’s environment. The abundance of negative ions in our cave balances the exposure of positive ions generated by electro magnetic radiation and electronic pollution of high voltage networks( Wi-Fi, computers, cell phones etc.). The ionic imbalance is an underlying cause of many health conditions.
The most important benefit of negative ions is that they clear the air of airborne allergens such as pollen, mold spores, bacteria and viruses. They reach our blood stream and are believed to produce biochemical reactions that increase levels of serotonin, helping people to alleviate depression, relive stress and boost daytime energy. The antibacterial influence of negative ions in the air has been tested in hospitals. The percentage of harmful bacteria in the air was significantly lowered causing patient wounds heal faster with shortened convalescence time. People that are exposed to negative ions indicate an increase in energy, stamina, achieving optimal weight and a decrease in blood pressure.
On the other hand, increased concentration of positive ions can cause headaches, lethargy, dizziness, nausea, depression, indigestion and irritability. It is extremely important to add negative ions into the air for optimal health, and our salt cave is the perfect space to do it. Research has proven the therapeutic values of salt caves in the treatment of various health conditions, especially respiratory disorders, allergies, cystic fibrosis, heart and cardiovascular disease, boost of immune system, increased concentration, relaxation and feeling refreshed.
All you have to do is sit back, relax and breathe in our zero gravity chairs for your 45 minute therapeutic session.
How Does Salt Help The Respiratory Tract?
The salt cave micro-climate influences our body’s cellular osmolarity in the nasal passageways. When salt particles are inhaled, they land on the airway linings and draw water inside, thinning mucus and activating self-cleaning. Breathing becomes much easier, and people feel better almost immediately. Simultaneously, the salt crystals are absorbed into the layers of the skin and bind moisture there. The presence of sodium ions is essential for muscle contractions, including those of the most important muscle, the heart. Salt is also important for removing the acidity from brain cells, thus improving brain function.
