Chocolate therapy, wine therapy, gem therapy, algotherapy, aromatherapy, ichthyotherapy, thalassotherapy... Ah! What have you all tried? Sure? What if we tell you: halotherapy?
“Health and well-being fused through Salt, relaxation and natural therapy” This is how Jacinto de la Cruz, manager of Salt Room Madrid, defines the center's philosophy.
This S.L. Made up of three partners, it has been offering halotherapy treatments in the capital for two years. They also have a yoga teacher and a physio for massages.
HALOTHERAPY
“We learned about halotherapy in the Wieliczka salt mines, Poland, and tested its benefits for allergies and asthma, among other problems,” they tell Condé Nast Traveler.
But what exactly is halotherapy? They themselves explain it to us: “This treatment consists of respiration of micro particles of mineral salt for respiratory problems such as bronchiolitis, asthma, allergy, sinusitis, rhinitis and bronchitis” In addition, it also serves to treat problems dermatological such as atopic dermatitis, acne, psoriasis, eczema.

THE PROPERTIES OF SALT
All these benefits come from nothing less than our beloved sodium chloride, which in addition to adding flavor to our food, is anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and antibacterial.
“Salt provides a large amount of negative ions that generate a state of special relaxation , reduces inflammation of the respiratory tract, increasing lung capacity and facilitating the oxygenation and expectoration and prevents against common colds and flu ” they comment from Salt Room.
And let's not forget the athletes : halotherapy helps to improve lung function and respiratory capacity and thus to improve performance.
Several clinical trials have shown that halotherapy is effective in clearing mucus from the airways and removing airflow obstruction.
