Take a Breath

Salt therapy is a powerful, accurate, and natural form of treatment that takes place in a controlled environment that simulates a natural salt cave to help those with skin and respiratory conditions, along with those that are prone to stress. From the ancient monks to modern doctors, the amazing effects of this type of therapy have been praised and accepted.

A salt cave is a room that is set up with chairs, most of which recline for ma

ximum comfort. The walls and floors of the cave are lined with pure salts. Clients sit down, relax, and inhale the salty air for a given amount of time. It is similar to meditation, as people seem to forget the stresses of the day after their visit in the cave. The cave is dimly lit, peaceful, and provides feelings of comfort and tranquility to those inside. The immediate effect is a feeling of well-being after the session, which is enough in itself for many guests to book their next session on the way out of your establishment. People with all different conditions choose to use this type of therapy to enhance their lives and mitigate their symptoms.

It was noted years ago that those that worked in the salt mines had less respiratory issues and were generally in better health than others, when compared to people of their specific age that had not been exposed to large quantities of salt. It was then that people began to ponder the positive effects of salt, and from there the benefits became limitless.

Salt removes airborne pollen, loosens mucus, reduces immune system oversensitivity, and is also an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. For those with allergies or flu symptoms, it seems to be the best option for relief. All of these properties help to contribute positive effects on the respiratory system.

Salt therapy helps to improve the function of your lungs, reduce the need for inhalers, makes breathing easier, mitigates sneezing, coughing, and shortness of breath, strengthens the immune systems, clears the lungs, among many other positive effects.

If you are looking to expand your business services, consider adding a salt cave or a salt bed to your establishment. Many people are just learning about this ancient therapy, and are eager to try it.
