About The Salt Room Lakeland
Salt therapy is a scientifically-proven treatment for respiratory and skin conditions.
For more than 20 years dry salt aerosol, administered in specially-designed halochambers, has been used to treat upper and lower respiratory conditions such as cold and flu, allergy, asthma, bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, sinus infection, sinusitis, rhinitis, hay fever and emphysema.
In addition, the anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of dry sodium chloride aerosol has been shown to effectively treat ear infection and conditions of the skin such as eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis.
Some of the many benefits you’ll receive from The Salt Room Lakeland halotherapy include:
- Abatement of bronchial inflammation
- Removal of airborne pollen particles from airways
- Strengthening of immune system that decreases allergic reaction to pollens
- Cleansing and sanitation of the airways
- Prevention and treatment of common cold and flu
- Improvement of dermatological disorders such as acne, dermatitis and psoriasis
- Reduction of snoring
- Better sleep
100% drug free, scientists and researchers developed halotherapy as a means of concentrating the positive effects of salt observed in nature.
It was in 1843 that the concept on which halotherapy is based was first published by a physician. After observing the remarkably low incidence of respiratory conditions in salt mine workers who were regularly exposed to air saturated with saline dust, the concept of speleotherapy (salt cave therapy) was born.
More recently, research published in the New England Journal of Medicine concluded that salt inhalation was a highly effective treatment for cystic fibrosis after observations among surfers led to clinical trials.
Our rooms bring the natural benefits of salt treatment to you and take them one step further by providing the ideal concentration of dry sodium chloride aerosol to treat your specific condition.
The Salt Room Lakeland has the equipment and staff to tailor your treatment.
Our rooms use the newest top-of-the-line halogenerators to crush pharmaceutical grade salt grains into small particles the size of 1 to 10 micrometers. Particles bigger than 5 micrometers are caught in the nose and throat, while the smaller particles can penetrate deep into the lungs.
Rooms are supplied with fresh air filtered by HEPA air filters that capture and remove up to 99.97 percent of all airborne particles and activated carbon filters that further remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can have a negative effect on health.
Surface areas in The Salt Room Lakeland are covered with natural sea salt which creates a sterilized and negative ion environment.
A Video Introduction to Salt Therapy.
CNN reporter Monita Rajpal recently did a piece on how salt therapy treatments are being used in London to help patients dealing with respiratory and sinus related issues. She gives a thorough overview of salt therapy, it’s history, and shows pictures of some of the other salt therapy treatment facilities around the world.
