Salt Cave (Halotherapy)
Discover your breath and restore your peace with salt therapy
Helping revitalize with a salty breath of air
Imagine this…
You’re on the beach, toes digging into the sand. You breathe in a deep breath of fresh ocean air and feel completely at ease…Have we transported you there?
That’s exactly what the salt cave at Soul Space Yoga & Wellness is designed to do.
With custom-crafted surroundings that provide just the right ambience, and a halogenerator that infuses the air in the room with microparticles of sodium chloride (salt), you’ll feel like you’re lounging at the beach.
And when you take 40 minutes to relax in one of our zero-gravity loungers surrounded by salt lamps, low lights, and some gentle sounds of nature, you can also experience a number of other health benefits.
Salt caves with halogenerators are known to:
- Reduce inflammation in the airways
- Draw out irritants from the respiratory system (including allergens and toxins)
- Reduce redness and inflammation associated with skin conditions (including acne, psoriasis, and eczema)
- Provide relief from asthma symptoms
- Improve the drainage of mucous
- Promote immune function to better protect against cold and flu
- Reduce snoring
- Ease stress and anxiety
- Increase levels of serotonin
- Boost daytime energy
Renewing your breath, energy, and wellness with halotherapy
It may be interesting to imagine that sitting in a salt cave can have all these amazing benefits. Salt crystals produce negative ions in the air (these are oxygen atoms charged with an extra electron). The air is naturally filled with negative ions in places such as beaches, waterfalls, and naturally occurring salt caves. We simulate this environment in our salt cave using the halogenerator.
Inhaling negative ions promotes the penetration of oxygen into the lungs and increases the flow of oxygen to the brain. As the negative ions enter our bloodstream, they produce biochemical reactions that help to purify the blood, neutralize free radicals in the body, and boost immune function.
Negative ions help to scrub the air of pollutants, so these environments are clear of airborne particles, dust, various types of spores, and bacteria. Your skin also benefits from this, as oils and bacteria are removed in a rejuvenating, cleansing, and purifying process!
What to Expect
Step barefoot into the salt cave, lie back in the zero-gravity lounge chair, and relax in comfort.
You may choose to listen to the ambient nature sounds in the room or listen to whatever you choose on your own device. A guided meditation is a great option!
If you fall asleep during your session, don’t worry – you will still receive all of the benefits of the salt air.
The recommended time for a halotherapy session is 40 minutes.
