FOR YOUR HEALTH
Salt Chamber
A salt chamber is a room covered with salt from ceiling-to-floor in which tiny particles of salt are sprayed into the air. The main effects of salt- or halotherapy are to reduce respiratory inflammation, strengthen the immune system and calm the body. Come and treat yourself with calming music and aromas in a saltchamber. Repeat sessions are used to prevent colds.
Salt therapy is known since the 12th century when salt-rich caves were visited to reduce respiratory problems. In the 19th century, it was discovered in Poland that people working in salt mines did not contract lung diseases. This can be called a passive halo- or salttherapy. The modern use of salt chambers started to become more widespread in the 20th century. The active therapy room is equipped with a halogenerator that grinds coarse salt and sprays it into the chamber. The walls, ceiling and floor of the room are usually covered with salt.
