Salt therapy has a long history in Europe where the alternative treatment is said to have therapeutic effects on respiratory illnesses. Besides that, research has found that quality salt can improve blood circulation, lessen inflammation, improve skin health and reduce stress.
Senior Scientific Advisor to the American Lung Association, Dr Norman Edelman explains that when we breathe in tiny particles of salt, these get trapped in the respiratory tract. Through osmosis, the mucus membrane gets thinned and makes us feel more comfortable.
Pablo Blau, a luxury spa centre, thus brought these salt caves to Singapore. Surrounded by an environment of pharmaceutical-grade salt, you will reap the benefits of salt from your respiratory tract to your skin. There is also a salt generator to ensures that you’re breathing in “fresh” salt too.
The facial therapist will also recommend a treatment based on your skin concerns, which includes options such as the cell-rejuvenating Reverse Aging, wrinkle-improving Age Defy and the Lift U Up that employs bee venom, or nature’s botox.
This treatment is done together with the salt treatment to help kill unwanted bacteria on the skin and leave your entire body cleansed and healthy.
