The dry salt therapy that we administer at our spa mimics Speleotherapy (treatment in salt caves). Speleotherapy developed when scientists in the 1950s began documenting the positive effects people were experiencing when they spent time in the salt mines breathing the salt saturated air. Our salt rooms are a recreation of the unique microclimate found in salt caves. The climate is controlled with a Halogenerator. The generator crushes pure sodium chloride into microparticles and disperses them into the room at preset concentration levels. All water and minerals have been removed from the salt to avoid ingesting harmful heavy metals and extra moisture into lungs that are likely to be stressed by excess moisture in the first place. The salt acts as a natural cleansing agent and an expectorant. The microscopic size of the salt enables the particles to travel deep into the lower respiratory system to deliver the most effective treatment. Along the way, the salt absorbs mucous in the bronchi and bronchioles. The salt helps you to purge the unwanted mucous which means you may initially experience more coughing than usual. This is a good thing. Coughing is your body’s natural mechanism to clear the way so you can breathe. Clearing your airways takes strain off of the alveolar sacs that exchange carbon monoxide and oxygen deep within your lungs. As a result, the gas exchange in your lungs will improve and the oxygen level in your blood will increase.
