Recharge Yourself Massage and Wellness is in the process of adding a Salt Therapy room. In doing so, we wanted to share with you a few benefits it has to offer, especially if you are unfamiliar with what Salt Therapy is.
Salt therapy is also known as Halotherapy. It is a natural therapy that involves inhaling salt particles in a controlled environment, As this therapy is gaining popularity, more people are turning to halotherapy for its numerous health benefits. Salt therapy rooms, one of the most popular ways of experiencing halotherapy, are designed to recreate the microclimate of a salt cave.
A salt room is a specially designed room that has either walls made of salt, or may use large salt panels. Some salt rooms have ceiling and floors with salt as well, but not all salt rooms do. The salt panels or walls are heated, and there is a special machine, called a halogenerator, that dispenses tiny salt particles into the air. Clients sit in the room for a specified amount of time, inhaling the salt particles. Our Salt Room will have large Salt Wall panels on each wall along with loose salt gravels along the wall edges. Here are five health benefits of halotherapy used in a salt room.

Halotherapy is known to improve skin hydration, making it ideal for people who deal with dry skin conditions such as psoriasis and or eczema. Salt has anti-inflammatory properties which can help reduce skin irritation and redness.
