Salt Therapy
Our earth is filled with naturally occurring remedies for most things that ail you. Hidden deep within the Himalayan mountain range lies a wealth of minerals and nutrients that are now available at our fingertips. Think about it this way: If you could have the opportunity to feel uplifted and enlightened with clearer respiratory passageways and a renewed sense of self—wouldn’t you jump at the chance?
This service is available at our Ocean City location.
When you walk in you are warmly greeted by the staff. They will take you to the salt room to begin your session. You’ll enter a spacious salt room either alone or with a group. The room is blue and dimly lit with colorful salt panels on the walls that look like windows. The floor is pink salt that looks almost like sand. You’ll be able to take a seat in one of our comfy recliner chairs around the room. You are given the option to use a blanket while you relax. You are able to sleep, read, listen to music, or meditate during your session.
The salt room is very welcoming and has a relaxing and calm feel that you can sense as soon as you walk in. As you are sitting in the room you will be inhaling the salt infused air and absorbing minerals. Your body detoxifies and purifies by just being in the room and breathing in the air. When your session comes to an end you’ll leave the room feeling relaxed and cleansed.

Dr. Oz on Salt Therapy
Salt therapy works to not only help you relax, but has many health benefits as well. Breathing in the salt from the air helps you to detox and truly rest.
The benefits of salt therapy are wide-ranging. Salt levels affect our cell activity, energy and blood sugar levels. A natural disinfectant, salt is antimicrobial, and antibacterial. Salt comes in empty processed forms or healthier pure sea salt (Himalayan and Dead Sea salt) that contain 84 elements and trace elements found in the human body. Dry salt air is more powerful than moist air.
The negatively charged ions in salt improve our health and mood. Inhaling particles may reduce inflammation and mucus in the lungs, improving respiratory conditions such as asthma, allergies, bronchitits, sinus congestion and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Scientific stuides show that people with asthma and other ailments breath easier after halo therapy.
The calming and detoxifying effects of halotherapy can support the immune, nervous and lymphatic systems. Additional benefits are reduced stress and headaches, increased energy, and better sleep patterns. Salt ions purify the air and may increase lung capacity and reduce physical ailments for adults, children and athletes. Treatments are recommended to help keep the body healthy during flu or allergy seasons.
Skin conditions can also be improved with halotherapy (psoriasis, rashes, eczema, acne). Table salt, sodium chloride, is dehydrating, but pure mineral salts have natural moisturizing properties and support the skin’s water balance and barrier function by attracting moisture to the skin. Minerals are necessary for cell function and detoxification, so mineral salts have strong rejuvenating properties.
