Highlights

Salt therapy, also known as halotherapy, is a natural, non-invasive treatment that utilizes salt to promote physical and mental well-being. The concept is based on the ancient practice of spending time in salt mines and caves to alleviate respiratory issues and rejuvenate the body

Here's a detailed explanation:

How it works

1. Inhalation: During a salt therapy session, you breathe in a controlled amount of salt particles, typically in a specially designed room or chamber. The salt is usually pharmaceutical-grade sodium chloride, finely ground to increase its surface area.

2. Absorption: The inhaled salt particles are absorbed into the lungs and bloodstream, where they help to:

- Reduce inflammation and congestion

- Loosen and clear mucus

- Improve lung function and oxygen intake

- Stimulate the immune system

3. Skin absorption: Salt particles can also be absorbed through the skin, providing additional benefits, such as:

- Improving skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis

- Reducing stress and promoting relaxation

- Detoxifying and rejuvenating the skin
