Frequently Asked Questions

What is Salt Therapy? 

 Salt Therapy is a natural, holistic, and non-invasive therapy that can help relieve symptoms related to skin and respiratory conditions. Salt Therapy utilizes the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties of salt to act as a natural antihistamine that provides lasting and significant relief for a variety of health issues. Some of the afflictions salt therapy can help with are asthma, allergies, bronchitis, Acne, Eczema, and Psoriasis. Additional benefits can include anxiety and stress relief.

What can I expect from a Salt Therapy Session?

While our clients are relaxing in a salt room, a Halogenerator machine grinds pharmaceutical-grade salt into microscopic particles and then disperses the particles into the room. With every breath, these tiny flecks of salt enter the lungs and land on the skin of salt room visitors, providing relief from many common respiratory and skin ailments such as asthma, allergies, bronchitis, acne, eczema, and psoriasis. 

What should I wear?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing or athleisure. If possible, a breathable fabric like cotton will allow for better skin benefits from the salt therapy. For those who are treating skin issues like eczema, having a change of clothes like shorts and a tank top will allow maximum skin exposure. Shoes are removed before your session to keep our Pink Himalayan Salt Floors Clean. Due to this we recommend wearing socks to your appointment. 

Will it be hot or cold?

Our Salt Rooms are kept at around 68 degrees with very little humidity. Many of our clients find this temperature comfortable, but we provide blankets in case you get chilly.

What do I do in the salt room?

Most of our clients lay back in our relaxing zero gravity chairs, listening to provided wholetones music and breathing deeply. Many of our clients fall asleep and awake completely refreshed after their session. The Salt room is usually a quiet zone and kept in low light, but if you are alone in the room we can leave the lights bright to allow for reading and journaling, or if you book the entire room through our Sanctum Package, for up to 10 friends, you can talk and catch up as much as you like!

How many sessions do I need?

When treating skin, sinus, and respiratory issues, most Salt Rooms recommend an initial 3-5 sessions in a short amount of time to maximize the salt room's effects. For those using salt therapy to boost their health or to maintain salt room effects, 1 or 2 sessions a week typically helps to maintain a state of wellness. It's individual, and based on your intended results from Salt Therapy, but most clients recognize when they need to return. 

What kind of Salt Rooms do you have? 

We have two different rooms, an Adult Salt Room and a Children’s Salt Room. In the Adult Salt Room, you will enter through a 19th century hand-carved Spanish door and walk across a salt covered floor illuminated by soft lights. A zero gravity chair will hold you in weightless space as the soft music and sound of your own breath drown out the world, left behind. Our Halogenerator will provide a cleanse for your lungs and skin until you emerge refreshed and more peaceful. In our Children’s Salt Room, a large Lego base with a desert image invites children to explore the salted desert floor. As they play with toys and LEGO’s, they will be unaware that they are receiving a beneficial dry salt treatment from our Halogenerator. Accompanying adults will also experience the benefits of the dry salt as they watch their children play!

Can I add on Salt Therapy to a massage? 

At Salt Earth we offer salt therapy sessions ( sitting in the salt room) for 45 minutes. This can be combined with a reflexology session ( a unique method of using the thumbs and index fingers on the reflex points on the feet and hands to relieve tension and stress, plus alleviate many additional ailments. Reflexology also improves blood supply and promotes the unblocking of nerve impulses.) Currently, massages can not be combined with the salt room on a daily basis. Unfortunately, we can not move the massage tables into and out of the room quickly enough to accommodate our busy schedule, however many of our clients will schedule a salt session after their massage! We also have monthly Salted Couple's Massage Experience announced though our email subscriptions. Keep your eyes out for special occasions in which we will offer single appointments in the Salt Therapy Room!
