The Amazing Healing Powers of Salt

Despite the fact that salt has been given a bad rap lately, research shows that the pure refined salt crystals, mined from the world's deepest caves and oldest sea beds, are actually brimming with healing properties.

Dead Sea Salt Zaps Aches and Eczema

Since ancient times, people have flocked to the Dead Sea in Israel for its healing benefits. This landlocked body of water contains salt with the highest concentration of therapeutic anti-inflammatory minerals on Earth, including calcium, potassium and silicon. The pain experienced by osteoarthritis patients plummeted by 80% after soaking daily in the Dead Sea salt baths for two weeks. The Dead Sea baths have also successfully treated symptoms of eczema and psoriasis.

Detox With Hawaiian Red Salt!

Hawaiian sea salt, or red salt, is a natural product of Hawaii found in its rich volcanic soil. Natives use the salt not only as a tasty topping for food, but it plays an important role in cleansing, purification, and blessing ceremonies. Recent studies prove that Hawaiian salt is rich in healthy minerals and nutrients, including calcium and iron (which gives the salt its distinctive red tint). The minerals in this salt not only help to strengthen your bones and give you a boost in energy, but it is also believed that the use of Hawaiian salt in scrubs and skin care products helps to draw toxins from the body, leaving your skin looking healthier and more radiant.

Himalayan Pink Salt Increases Energy!

Decades ago scientists noticed that workers in salt caves deep in the Himalayas suffered from fewer respiratory problems than others, a benefit they suspected was liked to the millions of tiny airborne salt particles inhaled by the workers each day. Now studies prove that the salt emits unique ions that purify the air, neutralizing environmental pollutants to help prevent symptoms of allergies and asthma- they also increase energy, well-being, and resistance to illness!

Salt Rooms Relieve Respiratory and Sinus Symptoms!

After studies proved that salt helped miners maintain superior respiratory health, a team of doctors and engineers in Eastern Europe  developed a generator that mimics the salty micro-climate found in the Himalayan mines by pulverizing salt into microscopic particles.

In 2009 the generators were available in the US market and the first salt room opened in Florida. Clients typically sit for 45 minutes in relaxing lounge chairs while the generators circulate the pulverized pharmaceutical grade salt throughout the room. Salt's anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties reduce congestion, sanitize, and open the airways. This treatment is used to relieve the symptoms of allergies, asthma, bronchitis, COPD and the common cold.

Recent clinical research was conducted at The Salt Room® by Dr. Daniel Layish, MD. His team concluded that the salt therapy proved to be beneficial in relieving and thinning the build up of mucus in patients with Cystic Fibrosis.

Complimentary Therapy Helps COPD Sufferers

Salt Therapy helps relieve breathing problems such as COPD.

Salt therapy can bring relief to symptoms of chronic respiratory conditions that affect over 24 million Americans.  Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, or COPD, refers to a group of diseases that cause airflow blockage and breathing-related problems. It includes emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and in some cases asthma.

About 1.4 million adults in Florida suffer from this condition and it’s the fourth leading cause of death in the US.

Although there is no cure for COPD, treatment can alleviate symptoms, decrease the frequency and severity of exacerbations, and increase the ability to exercise. 

For those who smoke, the most important aspect of treatment is to quit. Avoiding tobacco smoke and removing other air pollutants from the home or workplace are also important.  Salt therapy has been proven to clear the respiratory tract from allergens like pollen and tobacco smoke. The common cold and flu can cause serious problems in people with COPD.  Salt therapy reduces the incidence of infection in the lungs by destroying bacteria and germs.

The most common symptoms of this disease are coughing, wheezing and breathlessness. They are commonly treated with medication and pulmonary rehabilitation.  Salt particles inhaled during a salt therapy session are very small, 3-5 microns, and make their way deep in the pulmonary track and sinuses.  The salt particles reduce inflammation in the mucosa lining the airway passages and allow more airflow. Blockages in the bronchi and bronchioles are reduced and the normal transport of mucus is restored making breathing easier. “The change in my breathing has been remarkable. I have less bouts of bronchitis and the effects of my allergies are reduced”, says Bob, COPD sufferer from Sanford, Florida.

There are many complimentary therapies available that can work in conjunction with your current treatment and medications.  Salt’s antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties make it the perfect preventative treatment for people with chronic respiratory conditions.  Managing the symptoms of COPD will help sufferers to live a better more active life and sometimes slow down its progress.

Get Natural Relief this Cold and Flu Season!

The Salt Room has been specifically constructed to help Cold and Flu sufferers relieve their symptoms and feel better in a safe, peaceful environment that feels more like a spa than a high-tech treatment facility.

Around one billion people in the US alone come down with cold or flu every year. While drugs may ease the symptoms of the common cold or provide a short term cure for the flu virus, it may be only a couple weeks until you’re affected again. The Salt Room halotherapy will not only bring relief but also prevent frequent re-occurrence of cold and flu.

If you are suffering from cold or flu, salt therapy will bring relief by opening the nasal airways, killing bacteria and facilitating the drainage of the sinuses. If you are suffering from chest congestion you will start breathing easier as the halotherapy accelerates mucous clearance from your lungs.  These sessions will help drive away sneezing and coughing as well as decrease your dependence on prescription drugs.

Salt therapy also reduces stress which might otherwise weaken your immune system and helps rejuvenate your natural defenses. A complete treatment regiment of 7-15 sessions will provide benefits for as long as 6-12 months.
