Salt Benefits and Our Salt Sauna
Salt Sauna: Vitamins of the Air
In La Casa’s salt sauna, we have simulated a natural salt cave microclimate. We have created a curative breathing environment that is saturated with natural salt from two sources: Himalayan Salt and Black Sea Salt. The salt sauna is particularly healing for respiratory and skin conditions.
Salt therapy works because natural salt has a considerable level of negative charge of its particles. The inner surfaces of human airways have a slight positive charge. Thus, negatively charged particles of the salt are allowed to move into the lumen of the respiratory tract. The heat in the salt sauna releases the negative ionscaptured within the pure salt blocks, carrying the ions deep into the lungs. In the lungs, tiny chambers (alveolus) fortify oxygen with the negative ions which are then absorbed by the bloodstream to deliver the cleansing and purifying effect to every organ of the body.
Specific effects of salt therapy are:
• Mucolytic (assists in the elimination of excess mucus)
• Antibacteriologic
• Anti-inflammatory
• Immunomodulating (regulates the immune system)
