Dry Salt Therapy Room in Crystal Springs, FL
Leave your everyday stress behind and take a short drive from Crystal Springs, FL to the Salt Therapy Room at the WellCome OM Integral Healing & Education Center.
Halotherapy, often referred to as Dry Salt Therapy, is an all-natural way to cleanse and detox your body. Because every day, our lungs and skin are exposed to bacteria, pollutants, and allergens in the air, which can adversely affect your health and overall wellbeing.
Salt Center Near Crystal Springs, FL
Dry Salt Therapy is achieved with a halogenerator that heats, crushes, and grinds salt into fine particles. These particles are then released into the air, where they are inhaled. In the process these particles pick up pollutants and bacteria that your body can then expel.
Any salt that is not inhaled will fall onto your skin and be absorbed topically, which will give you additional benefits for skin conditions.
Dry salt therapy will not increase your blood pressure — in fact it may even reduce it during the session, which will be beneficial to your body.

The History of Dry Salt Therapy
The benefits of salt therapy are not new. Modern halotherapy tracks its origins back to the salt mines in Europe and Russia. Back then, they called it speleotherapy — a respiratory therapy that involved breathing salt-infused air in a micro-climate of a salt mine.
In 1843 a Polish physician named Dr. Feliks Boczkowski noticed that workers in salt mines rarely suffered from respiratory illnesses. These miners produced micro-sized particles dispersed into the air and inhaled by them as they ground and hammered the salt they were mining.
Also, the conditions below the surface of the Earth were ideal. The air temperature, humidity, and air circulation below affected the quality of the environment in which they were working. This air lacked airborne pollutants such as radon and pollen. As a result, the miners received many natural health benefits as they breathed in the salt particles from their work.
Seeing the positive health benefits, Dr. Boczkowski founded and opened the first health resort facility in Poland at the Wieliczka Salt Mine. This phenomenon spread as others in Eastern Europe started using hollowed-out salt mines, which were called salt caves, as underground sanatoriums and health resorts.
As people started to spend their time in these salt rooms, it impacted their well-being and overall health positively. However, understanding that many people didn’t have the means to travel to these locations, the Russians started to explore how to recreate this type of environment in a fashion that would bring it to more people worldwide.
These Russian doctors and scientists created the first halogenerator in 1976, replicating the conditions of the salt mines, and modern-day halotherapy was born.
