Today, I went to the Salt Room in Las Vegas, located just 20 minutes from my home. The business has been open since 2014 and has excellent reviews from the many clients who have tried halotherapy, facial masks, massages, yoga, and other services. This was my third visit and I plan to attend a few more times to see if there is any improvement in my sinusitis and the mucus in my throat. The Salt Room is a pleasant place with crushed salt on the floor and beautiful hues of orange on the walls. There is room for eight reclining chairs and the session lasts for about 45 minutes.
Salt therapy has been used in Eastern Europe for a number of years. A physician noticed that men who worked in salt mines did not have as many respiratory illnesses as the general population. It was surmised that the hammering, chiseling, and grinding of the salt sent minute particles into the air and created an aerosol spray that the men inhaled. Salt therapy is catching on in the United States and other western countries. I hope it works for me.
