halotherapy

Breathing salty air

Halotherapy is a wellness treatment involving exposure to salt-laden air, typically in specially designed "salt rooms" or caves.

Proponents claim therapeutic benefits for respiratory and skin conditions, though scientific evidence remains limited.

The practice draws on traditions of visiting natural salt mines for health purposes: The spa offers halotherapy sessions in a room lined with Himalayan salt.
