The Benefits of Salt Cave Therapy
The therapeutic usage of salt caves began at the Wieliczka Salt Mine in Poland in 1843 and has been successfully used for over 175 years. Today, it is known as Halotherapy: the inhalation of micro-sized salt particles; and Speleotherapy: the exposure to a subterranean atmosphere.
Halotherapy assists in breaking down mucus build-up and congestion, reduces inflammation, cleanses airways, and disinfects bacteria in the sinuses and lungs. Speleotherapy further promotes healing by isolating guests from external stimuli.
Here at the Healing Salt Cave, we have recreated the conditions of the precious microclimate of an underground Salt Mine for your benefit. Our cave offers many dimly lit salt lamps, gentle music, both a HEPA & UV air filtration system, and an environment composed of 12 tonnes of Polish Pink Salt. The space also has iodine water cascades to maintain elevated levels of humidity, and a Halogenerator that grinds down pharma grade salt and disperses it throughout the air; appearing like a fine cloud with particles small enough to access the deepest part of your lungs.
This 100% natural, non-invasive, drug-free treatment has been effective in treating a wide variety of respiratory illnesses.
“I have been suffering with long Covid for the past eight months. I’ve literally coughed every single day to varying degrees to the point of being physically sick because I can’t stop coughing and getting enough oxygen. Ever since I was in the salt cave three days ago, I haven’t even coughed! I’m able, for the first time in eight months, to take a really deep breath without starting a big coughing fit. It’s incredible! This is going to be a regular part of my routine”
