What is Salt Therapy?
Salt Therapy, aka Halotherapy, is an alternative treatment for a wide variety of ailments and conditions: asthma, allergies, anxiety, inflammation, skin issues, and even the common cold. The salt is naturally anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and antimicrobial.
The treatment offers a unique, natural therapy that allows you to get a sense of peace and serenity, while simply breathing. The salt air is made up of negatively-charged ionized salt particles, 84 trace elements and minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium, iodine, bromine, copper, selenium, and iron. These particles help to clear all pollens, viruses, pollutants and toxins of the lungs and nasal passageways, which in essence works to treat and prevent illness.
The salt also works to heal the body as soon as its negative ions enter the nasal passageway, which then travel through the respiratory tract and into the bloodstream to be dispersed throughout the body.
Salt Therapy Benefits
Dry Salt Therapy, also known as Halotherapy, benefits adults and children alike as well as athletes and animals. It is natural and safe and there are no harmful side effects. Halotherapy is very beneficial for overall wellness by removing the toxicity from the respiratory system, improving the function and appearance of the skin, and boosting the immune system.
For general respiratory hygiene, once or twice a week visiting your local salt therapy facility will enhance the lung capacity, boost the immune system, reduce stress, and aid better sleep.
What to Expect Before Your Salt Cave Experience?
We are so excited for you to experience a salt cave session at Grota Solna! We would like to ensure that everyone has a relaxing and positive experience. Here are some helpful tips to help maximize your experience:
Please dress normally/comfortably. There will no need to change clothes, so we would like you to be able to relax in comfortable clothing.
Spa slippers to wear inside the cave/rooms will be provided. If you choose not to use our slippers, please wear all white socks (color dyes can stain the loose salt). All slippers are laundered between sessions.
The cave stays between 65-68 degrees to help mimic the climate of a true salt cave and for better saturation of the air for proper inhalation of the salt. Blankets are provided for ultimate relaxation and to ensure all guests are comfortable. All blankets are laundered between sessions.
All sessions start promptly at your reservation time. Please arrive 15 minutes before your schedule session so that we may have time to check you in.
No cellphones or personal items such as purses or bags are allowed in the cave. Lockers (under surveillance) are provided. Please silence cellphones when placing inside locker.
If you arrive late to your session, we will not be able to add you into your reserved time slot (we will not disrupt relaxation time for guests already in the cave), however we will make every accommodation possible to add you into the next available room or cave session.
We want to make this experience enjoyable for everyone so we thank you for your cooperation!
