The History of Salt Therapy
In the 1850's, Eastern European doctors observed that salt miners had very low incidences of tuberculosis and other respiratory diseases. Seeking relief, those suffering from respiratory and skin illnesses began to visit and even sleep overnight in the mines. This type of therapy became known as "Speleotherapy."
Through the years, breathing dry salt air as a therapy has been brought to a whole new level. No more do people have to sit or sleep in salt mines surrounded by mining equipment and poor lighting. Today, specially designed salt spas and rooms replicate the benefits of this allergen-free environment. Additionally, with modern technology, micronized salt particles are blown into the spa, further enhancing the therapeutic effect now known as "Haleotherapy" or "Salt Therapy." The Salt Spas at Traditonal Health Clinic offer relief of respiratory and skin conditions while relaxing on comfortable recliners in beautiful, salt-lined rooms.
