Salt room

Do you already miss the sea? No problem imagining you are there. Only 40 minutes of relaxation in one of the so-called salt rooms and caves is equivalent to 4 days by the waves, experts say. If you have asthma, acne, or feel stressed, you can also visit salt rooms. Natural rock salt has a healing effect. The air in these salty rooms and salt caves is so beneficial because it is rich in negative ions, which neutralize the positive ions in our body and help create balance. It is believed that negative ions have a purifying effect. The essence of the method is the inhalation of ionized dispersion aerosol sodium chloride, which is released into the air. A visit to a salt room is essential if you have lung problems.

With halotherapy—salt treatment—chronic bronchitis, asthma, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), sinusitis, smoker’s cough, and common cough (caused by a cold or flu), hay fever, viral infections, colds, and flu, acne, psoriasis, eczema, and some types of dermatitis are treated. After being treated with halotherapy, it is good to visit the salt rooms prophylactically once every few months.

Depending on the reason for visiting the salt rooms (for relaxation, due to illness, for treatment of a chronic disease), a different number of procedures are recommended. What is certain is that you cannot overdose. Due to the dry, highly dispersive nature of rock salt, it has the ability to absorb bacteria and mucus from our lungs. Negative ions also help with stress, chronic fatigue, nervousness, and irritability. As a result, halotherapy makes people more energetic, even happier. However, staying in salt rooms is not recommended for people with high blood pressure who do not take medication, cancer patients in remission, and those who have recovered from tuberculosis. However, children can enter salt rooms. The allowed stay for them is only twenty minutes. You enter the salt rooms wearing clothes, over which a polyethylene cape is placed, and a bonnet is placed on the head. Only the areas of the skin that need treatment remain uncovered. When you enter the salt room, the only thing you need to do is relax and breathe the beneficial “salty” air. The stay in such a salt room is between 45 and 60 minutes. To have an effect from the treatment, at least 4 – 5 sessions must be done. It is mandatory to ventilate the halochamber after each session.
