Sleep, performance and stress
Salt therapy is not a medical treatment but a complementary therapy that has been used for centuries to support the body's natural processes. It is a natural treatment that can play a powerful role in improving sleep quality, enhancing performance and easing stress.
Sleep
Poor sleep is often linked to stress, breathing difficulty and a busy mind. Inhale fine salt particles to reduce congestion and irritation making nasal breathing easier at night. The peaceful environment of the salt room will allow you to switch to your rest and digest state, depending on what you watch/read/do.
How many sessions? People often report feeling clearer in their airways and sleeping better after a session. Continued good sleep depends on other lifestyle factors. Breathing exercises to take you to your rest and digest state and nasally breathe at night will be recommended. Or you can attend breath work or somatic yoga classes

Snoring and sleep apnea
Chronic mouth breathing is strongly linked to snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. Breathing through the mouth does not filter, humidify, or regulate air like the nose which can lead to airway obstruction at night.
James Nestor highlights the science and issues with snoring and sleep apnea in the book 'Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art'. His own experiment showed snoring increased 4,800% with mouth breathing and he developed sleep apnea. When he switched back to nasal breathing his snoring and sleep apnea disappeared within days.
How many sessions? People often report feeling clearer in their airways and sleeping better after a session. Reduced snoring and sleep apnea events also depend on other lifestyle factors and your ability to breathe through your nose . Breathing exercises to take you to your rest and digest state and nasally breathe at night will be recommended. Or you can attend breath work or somatic yoga classes
Focus, mindset, and performance
Many people spend months congested with allergies, hay fever, then coughs and colds. People simply live with this. Science shows nasal breathing improves oxygen efficiency, nitric oxide and which delivers oxygen to the brain and muscles. Athletes who have trained themselves to maintain nasal breathing report greater stamina, less fatigue and faster recovery. Salt therapy promotes nasal breathing with more ease.
How many sessions? People often report feeling clearer in their airways immediately after a session. With calmer breathing patterns. The Salt Spa encourages slow, mindful breathing. Use also depends on other lifestyle factors and your ability to breathe through your nose . Breathing exercises to breathe nasally will be recommended. You can also attend breath work classes and somatic yoga
