We may be told that too much salt is bad for
us but it can be good for our health too.
Salt Therapy (or Halotherapy, named after the
Greek word for salt) is a treatment which can
help relieve respiratory
conditions, skin problems and treat allergies
and has been used in
mainstream medicine for a long time.

Lifehouse, the Country Spa Resort in
Essex which offers a range of spa and wellness breaks, has opened a Salt
Inhalation Room to offer a natural, drug-free way to help relieve these
conditions in addition to providing a relaxing environment for
general wellbeing.

How it works

The Salt Inhalation Room releases salt suspended air particles into the
air which creates a hypo-bacterial and allergen-free air environment.
As the potassium, magnesium and other minerals in the salt air are
breathed in, they travel through the sinus and respiratory systems
absorbing moisture, cleansing, clearing mucus and killing bacteria along
the way. The salt particles are so small they are not noticeable and
are easily inhaled with natural breathing.

The principles of salt inhalation are based upon the same effects as a
walk along the coast, breathing the ozone, rich salty sea air.

What it's good for

Halotherapy is recognised as the natural, drug-free way to help health
problems including asthma, pneumonia, bronchitis, sinusitis, ear ache,
hay fever, eczema and psoriasis. It is also great for anyone working
with computer screens who will be subjected to positive ions which can
induce headaches, migraines and feelings of lethargy. And it is known
to help with insomnia, reduce stress and improve overall wellbeing.

The Salt Inhalation Room is open to all guests booking a spa day or spa
break at Lifehouse Country Spa Resort. For further information visit
