Salt Therapy?

What to Expect? First impressions of a salt room Salt Therapy in Borehamwood

Salt therapy sessions take place within the salt room or salt cave. It is called a salt cave because the clinic reproduces the environment of the historic salt mines and salt caves where the healing power of salt was first recognized. The first thing you and your family will notice on entering the room is the magical appearance of a salt room. You will believe you are actually in a small cave! But this cave is warm, relaxing and fresh.

The floor is totally covered in layers of salt. This brightness and whiteness along with the clear fresh air created by the salt particles immediately creates a relaxing and uplifting environment. The soft tranquil lighting is at once magical and soothing. Comfortable chairs are available to make your session as restful and as peaceful as possible Most people like to close their eyes, and some will fall asleep or meditate.

The clinic room is made for all the family in mind and so you will also see toys for children to play with. This is especially useful to distract the child while they are benefiting from the healing process. Children are likely to find the whole environment of a salt room an adventure rather than a medical session. The salt itself can have the same properties as sand at the seaside.

Salt Aerosol Generators

A session can last from anything up to 60 minutes. While you are relaxing, dry salt aerosol generators blow salt particles into the air and work to relieve and enhance the power of the salt room and effect further relief and treatment for sufferers. Trained staffs are available for assistance or enquiries at all times. The room temperature and humidity is maintained at a comfortable level. A change in lighting will alert you that the treatment is over.

The healing process begins

For some the experience will bring back memories of being by the sea as many experience a mild salt taste on their lips, similar to being by the ocean. Others may experience a mild throat tickle and water is provided to deal with this. As the healing aspect takes effect and the body naturally clears the lungs of residual toxins, pollens and viruses, most people will experience increased mucous production. This will present itself in the form of a runny nose or a productive cough after the session. If you are a smoker (or have been in the past) you may experience a period of cough and mucous production as your body naturally clears the lungs of residual toxins. Asthmatics will also experience an initial period of increased mucous production and cough as the body decreases inflammation, opens airways, and expels the stagnant mucous.

The Salt Cocoon

The salt cocoon is for private sessions and presents like a sun bed. The client lies on the bed and then closes the transparent cover over them. Sessions would last about the same time as a salt cave. The salt Cocoon is a chamber that can hold one adult and one child. The plastic transparent lid opens to reveal a bed area where the patient can relax in isolation while receiving treatment. This is an excellent way for an adult to be with a very young child during the session and comfort them during the healing process. This can also be an invaluable way of treating concerns such as psoriasis.
