Health Benefits from Pink Salt Tiles And Revive Your Lungs with Salt Brick Walls
Wellness spaces have quietly undergone a revolution in the past few years. So while sauna rooms and infrared therapy are enjoying a comeback in popularity, more and more saunas and spa rooms are opting for Himalayan pink salt tiles and salt brick walls as part of the experience.
What Are Himalayan Pink Salt Tiles and Bricks?
Himalayan Pink Salt is a rock salt from the Khewra Salt Mine in Pakistan. It’s thought to be more than 250 million years old, and is valued for the purity and high mineral content, including magnesium, potassium and calcium.
Why Use Pink Salt in a Sauna?
A regular sauna provides a host of health benefits, purification, relaxation, rejuvenation and more. But they can be next-level when you get creative and add pink salt tiles. Here’s how:
Air Purification
Because it’s heated up, pink salt releases negative ions. The result? Cleaner, fresher air, particularly helpful for those with asthma, allergies and other respiratory difficulties.
Enhanced Detoxification
The heat inside a sauna is great for making you sweat out toxins. You can also absorb minerals from the salt, which promotes detoxification.
Stress Reduction
The natural soft pink glow of the pink salt tiles creates a tranquil, relaxing and serene atmosphere. The ambient environment, when in combination with the heat of the sauna, releases cortisol, promoting a state of relaxation and relieving mental stress.
Skin Health
Salt-enhanced sauna sweating opens pores the way a salt-enriched ocean does, which lets the minerals in the salt penetrate deeply, and you may cleanse and exfoliate dead skin. A lot of users even claim their skin is softer and clearer after continued use.
What are Salt Brick Walls and How Do They Function?
These can be added to saunas, meditation rooms, or salt caves. Salt walls, when combined with gentle heat or a halogenerator (a machine that circulates particles of salt in the air), capture the natural microclimate of a salt cave.
Salt Brick Walls: How They Release Our Lungs:
Dry Salt Particles For Inhalation
Salt bricks emit tiny salt particles into the air when heated. The tiny crystals are themselves a natural abrasive, and also have an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory action, which makes it really good to remove mucus and decongest the sinuses.
Respiratory Tract Cleansing
The inhaled salt also quiets inflammation and opens air passages. It also thins mucus to aid in its clearance. This action is especially helpful for those with chronic bronchitis, sinusitis, and even summer hayfever.”
Mimicking Natural Salt Caves
Like the European salt mines where carbon halogenido therapy was born,the salt brick wall creates a dry saline aerosol environment. It provides the same health & spa benefits as visiting a salt cave from the comfort of your home or spa.
The Best of Both: Salt Tiles + Salt Brick Walls perfect meditative environment
If combined with a feature salt brick wall, the effects are enhanced when pink salt tiles are used in the sauna floor, ceiling, or benches:
The pink salt tiles even have mineral absorption and heat treatments built into them.
The walls facilitate the respiratory benefits through the implementation of a purifying-halo atmosphere.
Between them, they are a dual topical and respiratory detox.
This combination setup isn’t just healthful, but it can bring a level of joy to any wellness space.
Scientific Evidence Behind Halotherapy
Evidence is mostly anecdotal for salt therapy, but there is some science behind it, particularly for respiratory ailments.
A 2006 study published in the Journal of Aerosol Medicine concluded that halotherapy reduced bronchial inflammation and improved lung function in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Another research study published in the journal Pediatric Pulmonology found that children with mild asthma experienced relief after undergoing halotherapy sessions. Although further large studies are required, these findings would suggest a basis for the use of salt in a therapeutic environment.
For Home Saunas:
- Floor or behind the backrest with rose pink salt tiles, and regain heat and therapeutic benefits.
Add a salt brick feature wall with beautiful back lighting for a luxurious and restful feel.
Fancy a halogenerator for more salt for more respiratory benefits?
Spas and Wellness Centres use:
Construct salt therapy rooms or “salt caves” with full salt brick walls.
Provide halotherapy sessions and include in your services an infrared or steam sauna.
Put mood lighting behind salt walls to increase a sense of calm and relaxation.
How to Maintain and Clean Your Pink Salt Tiles and Brick
Beautiful and functional though it is, salt is still a natural mineral that will always need a little TLC:
Keep it dry: Himalayan salt is hygroscopic – it sucks in water. Store it in a cool, low-humidity environment, unless in controlled sauna environments.
Dust frequently: Wipe down with a dry cloth or a microfiber cloth that has been lightly misted (not soaked) with water.
Change cracked bricks or pink salt tiles: Salt can deteriorate due to moisture or wear and tear.
