From dedicated salt chambers to smaller salt rooms, or warming salt lamps inside the treatment room, spas around the world are making a conscious effort to include halotherapy into their guest experience in any way possible. Invite your clients to experience the many benefits of participating in this trend. Let's explore what halotherapy is, how it works, and how you can include it in ways large and small in your treatment rooms today.
WHAT IS HALOTHERAPY?
Salt therapy, also known as halotherapy, is a non-invasive treatment that alleviates the health problems associated with asthma, sinusitis, allergies, and other respiratory related illnesses.
This therapy dates back longer than you might think. In 1843, a Polish doctor named Feliks Boczkowski first discovered the effects of salt on mine workers. Dr. Boczkowski noticed that salt mine workers did not experience the same respiratory issues or lung diseases that other miners did. Almost a century later, a German doctor noticed that the health of his patients improved after hiding in salt caves during the Second World War. The news of halotherapy benefits spread quickly across Eastern Europe, where you can now find many giant salt rooms from the early days of halotherapy.
