Benefits of Himalayan Salt Crystal have been known and applied for centuries

Salt therapy such as applied in salt rooms replicate the benefits of natural healing environments, such as natural salt caves or sea air. Upon entering a salt room, you immediately notice the crispness and clarity of the air - similar to the feeling you get at an ocean beach or immediately following a storm because the air is charged with negative ions.

The treatment, known as dry salt therapy (or halotherapy), dates back hundreds of years to Eastern Europe and is purported to confer a variety of health benefits. These include relief from respiratory ailments such as asthma, allergies, bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, colds, cystic fibrosis, ear infections and sinusitis, as well as skin conditions like acne, eczema, psoriasis, rashes and rosacea, according to the Salt Therapy Association.

People visit salt rooms and salt caves to decompress, rejuvenate, and unwind from modern life. It is our strong conviction that just by being in Prana Yoga Center’s salt room overnight will make you feel safe, comforted, and protected. This will be amplified with our intention setting for the night and guided meditation on “Transcendence”, which means going beyond a limit or surpassing a boundary.
