What a salt room is
A salt room is an enclosed space where the air carries fine salt particles — a method known as halotherapy. There is nothing to do: you sit, breathe calmly and rest. No steam, no heat — it is ordinary room temperature.
People come mostly in the colder months — with a blocked nose, an irritated throat, or simply wanting a break from dry heated air. Many also use it as a quiet end to a spa day, after the sauna or a massage.
What happens in a session
Before
No preparation is needed. Come in comfortable clothes; reception will tell you what to leave outside. Avoid a heavy meal just beforehand.
During
A session lasts 40 minutes. Sit comfortably and breathe through your nose, slowly and evenly. Your phone stays outside — that is half the effect.
After
Drink water. A slight tickle in the throat or sneezing after the first visits is common and passes quickly.
How often
One visit is a rest. For a longer-lasting effect people come as a series, a few times a week — which is why there are 10, 15 and 20-visit packs.
Does a salt room cure anything?
No. A salt room is not a treatment and does not replace a doctor or prescribed therapy. What people report afterwards is easier breathing, a clearer nose and a sense of rest — which is why they use it for seasonal colds, a runny nose and allergies, and for tension and tiredness.
When to avoid it: with a fever or acute infection, during an asthma attack, or soon after surgery. With chronic lung or heart conditions, during pregnancy and for small children, ask your doctor first.
