Where, oh where, is that that elusive thing called balance? Step into SaltEFX, and there it is, just inside rooms equipped with Himalayan rock salt and filled with serenity.
Salt therapy delivers more than physical benefits. Yes, there is its well-known ability to ease pain and the symptoms of chronic conditions. But SaltEFX goes a step beyond, with in-demand sessions that merge body and spirit for relief from physical ills and release from emotional bonds.
Salt therapy, also known as halotherapy, offers immersion in specially constructed rooms simulating natural salt caves. Participants breathe in the dry sodium chloride aerosol. Pure air courses into the lungs, killing bacteria, reducing inflammation, and loosening mucus. The body purges toxins. Positive ions in the air convert to negative ions, strengthening the immune system. Relief follows for a range of ailments that include respiratory conditions, fibromyalgia, allergies, and skin problems.
It’s natural, drug-free, and safe, even for children. The minuscule amounts of inhaled salt don’t affect blood pressure because they don’t enter the stomach, heart, or kidneys. At SaltEFX, visitors can relax in one of three spaces—the main adult salt room; a private room for children, families, individuals, and couples; and the salt bed chamber, offering a higher salt concentration in shorter sessions tailored to participants’ skin and respiratory issues.
At SaltEFX, salt therapy becomes a life-altering experience through unique, regularly offered sessions:
AcuSalt®: Acupuncture and salt therapy—two ancient, proven healing practices converging for a soul-satisfying blend of relaxation and energy balance. In these group sessions, certified diplomate in Oriental medicine Linda D’Agostino applies acupuncture to regulate the flow of the body’s vital energy. This qi, as it’s known, redistributes away from areas where it’s in excess to those spots where it’s needed to leave the body feeling revitalized.
Sound & Salt Immersion: Lie down, breathe, and leave your cares behind. Take deep, focused yoga breaths that enhance the benefits of salt inhalation. All the while, certified sound therapist Julie Moffitt coaxes healing sound frequencies from Himalayan and crystal singing bowls, rattles, and drums. Matching the bodies’ chakras, the good vibrations help improve immune function, lower the heart rate, ease pain, and reduce stress.
Energy Block Salt Room Session: What’s holding you back from achieving your goals and dreams? Is peace the missing factor in your life? Experienced life coach Terrie Christine guides participants in these group sessions through a journey of letting go. As you submerge your body in the salt floor, connect intuitively with your own energy and the vibration in the salt. “I let go of some past hurt and finally I feel free,” says one participant.
SaltEFX is a woman-owned and -operated business offering affordable services, including monthly passes. Give it a try with a 45-minute session, suggests owner Melanie McGuire.
“We open the doors to our salt rooms so that people of all ages can experience the natural healing process of salt therapy,” she says. “It’s a safe and drug-free path to holistic wellness that energizes the body and refreshes the spirit.”
