salt therapy
Salt therapy is a natural form of therapy practiced for over 100 years that cleanses the body’s airways and skin. The pharmaceutical grade dry salt in the rooms are inhaled deep into the airways and lungs to gently stimulate the body’s natural action of cilia movement. This natural process acts as a bronchiole brush, which thins out mucus. This makes it easier for the body to relieve the mucus, pathogens and any debris from the body’s respiratory system.
Halotherapy machines are used to create this effect in man-made salt rooms like ours at TSB! This therapy has a ton of benefits!
During the salt therapy session, tiny salt particles also will land on the skin which improves the skin’s protective properties and promotes good bacteria while reducing the amount of bad bacteria. Pharmaceutical grade salt is a natural anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial. The salt also acts as a pH balancer and stimulates the cell regeneration process by creating a natural exfoliation of the skin. You’ll leave feeling a sense of rejuvenation and breathing easier!

Salt Therapy Facts
What should I wear for salt therapy?
Loose, comfortable, light-colored clothing that you can relax in is recommended. If you're using dry salt therapy for a skin condition, you'll want to have that area exposed. Shoes are not needed and can be left in out lobby area or locker room with any other belongings.
Are there side effects to salt therapy?
There are no potentially harmful side effects as the treatment is completely natural. A slight cough or runny nose is possible, but this is simply the salt working to remove mucus and toxins from the lungs and airways. You may notice more drainage for a day or so after your first treatment. Salt therapy is gentle enough to experience daily.
