Dry Salt Therapy: The Ideal Value-Add for Your Wellness Retreat
As a wellness retreat, your core focus is your guests’ health and wellbeing.
Respiratory wellness across the globe has reached an inflection point, due to the effects of air pollution, indoor HVAC systems, climate change, and new COVID-19 variants along with a growing focus on strengthening the immune system and self-care.
Medical research shows that the most important factor determining the longevity and quality of life is our respiratory system. The facts speak for themselves: The World Health Organization (WHO) recently found that air pollution is “the single largest environmental threat to human health and well-being.”
Dry Salt therapy (halotherapy) is the solution of choice for luxury resorts, destination spas and dozens of other wellness providers because it is a safe, evidence-based modality with multiple benefits that contribute to your guest’s overall health and well-being.
The process involves a device called a halogenerator which grinds pure grade sodium chloride into micron-sized particles that are then dispersed and inhaled by guests, which penetrate deep into the lungs—cleaning the respiratory system, thus improving lung function. Inhaling dry salt particles helps to reduce inflammation in the entire respiratory tract and widen the airway passages.
A clean respiratory system naturally results in higher oxygen intake, increased energy, better recovery, and an improved immune system.
Salt therapy is the fastest-growing service in the spa and wellness industry. SALT Chamber, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary, recently partnered with Venus Williams’ V Starr, an award-winning Palm Beach interior design firm, as part of the stunning $140 million transformation of PGA National Resort. Two dry salt therapy rooms were installed at the expansive 40,000-square-foot Spa at PGA National, one for a more private experience and the other for a small-group experience.
Spas and wellness centers are incorporating multiple wellness modalities in the salt room, including yoga, meditation, sound therapy, breathwork and much more.
Many facilities design unique experiences utilizing Himalayan salt and other décor and architectural elements as part of their design.
Wellness retreats can incorporate salt therapy for performance improvement, recovery, mental wellness, and general wellbeing. From new builds to converting existing or under-utilized rooms, Salt Chamber provides easy turnkey solutions.
