How funny that people were rushing out to their local market to trade their good ol\u2019 Kosher salt for a bottle of this pink stuff. Beyond the pink hue, people caught on to the health benefits of sprinkling a bit of this salt over their entree. And then came the Himalayan salt lamp. See? Salt is trendier than you may think.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The latest innovation: Salt therapy.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is salt therapy?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This holistic form of therapy is rooted in the ranging health benefits of this pink sea salt that we\u2019ve all come to know (and love). Considered an \u201cinstant detox,\u201d this form of therapy refreshes and rejuvenates one\u2019s respiratory system and skin. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>What does salt therapy do?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salt is much more than something to top your French fries (we kid, we kid). \u201cDry salt therapy is a holistic approach to detoxify the lungs and skin with salt\u2019s natural healing properties,\u201d Marta Dulaba from <em><a href=\"https:\/\/classpass.com\/search\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BREATHE<\/a><\/em> tells us. When you breathe in salt particles in a salt room, they help loosen congestion, increase oxygen intake and rid the airways of smoke, dust, pollution, pollens and other allergens. In addition, salt particles can help cleanse, balance, and rejuvenate tired skin. \u201cAs a whole, dry salt therapy helps with many ailments such as asthma, bronchitis, COPD, eczema, psoriasis, common cold and flu, snoring, sleep apnea and more,\u201d she explains. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>What to expect from salt therapy<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salt therapy studios like BREATHE offer two options: salt room and salt bed. According to Dulaba, they reap the same benefits so the choice between the two comes down to personal preference. \u201c The beds are designed to offer a private experience where a client can fully undress and expose affected areas of the skin,\u201d she explains. \u201cRooms are communal. Here, you can either sit in a chair or lie down on a yoga mat on the floor.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In both instances, you simply sit back for 25 minutes, close your eyes, and breathe. There\u2019s no need to change clothes and you can choose to spend the time meditating or catching a few zzz\u2019s. One thing to note: If you struggle with respiratory issues like asthma, she recommends sitting in the chairs since it will help keep your lungs open.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Who should try salt therapy<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone. Seriously, everyone\u2019s lungs and skin could use a refresh \u2014 and that\u2019s exactly what salt therapy does. People who suffer from asthma are some of BREATHE\u2019s top clients \u2014 and for good reason. \u201cAs a runner living in Williamsburg, I suffered from exercise-induced asthma from running outdoors by so many construction zones. I do a session while at work (about 3 times a week) and after about 3 months my asthma completely disappeared,\u201d she told us. Well, there you have it. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is salt therapy good for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think beyond your sodium levels: When you breathe in salt, you breathe better. It\u2019s that simple. \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Salt is naturally anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fungal,\u201d explains Dulaba. \u201cThese properties help to open up passageways for better breathing, as well as clear any pathogens affecting our lungs and skin.\u201d But if you really want to dig into science (we know you want to), heated Himalayan salt also emits negative ions, which counterbalance the positive ions from electronics. This ultimately allows for a balanced state of healing a.k.a. bliss. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few years ago, Himalayan pink sea salt became a trendy grocery store staple.
