Question 1

Is salt therapy safe?

Answer

Salt therapy is safe and drug-free, providing effective long-term relief and can be used along side prescribed medication as a complementary treatment.

Question 2

What happens during a session?

Answer

Sit back and relax in one of our comfy loungers, the ceiling lights will switch off as negatively ionised dry sodium aerosol of 0-5 microns are released into the room by a halogenerator. The brightness of the wall lights will be slightly reduced to create a serene and tranquil ambience. However, there will be enough light to read so please feel free to bring along your favourite book.

Question 3

What do you wear?

Answer

No special clothing is required, however, we suggest you wear clothes that you don't mind getting salt on as the particles are like dust but will brush and wash off. T-shirt and shorts are recommended for eczema and psoriasis sufferers as the skin will benefit from being exposed to the salt. On arrival shoe covers and hairnets will be provided to wear during a session to ensure that our rooms stay clean and hygienic.

Can I bring my phone or other electrical devices into the room?
