Salt Therapy in Winston-Salem

Salt therapy and halotherapy operate on the same principle: the healing powers of salt. However, halotherapy involves a device grinding salt into very tiny particles and releasing them into the air for breathing. This is known as “active” salt therapy.

The Restoration MedSpa Salt Therapy Studio offers “passive” salt therapy in Winston-Salem, allowing the many, many Himalayan salt blocks to naturally shed salt particles and ions in our climate-controlled studio for a less intense, more natural experience.

The salt particles that enter your breathing passages cause your body to thin the mucus in those passageways, allowing your cough to be more productive as the mucus (phlegm) is released more easily.

The antibacterial abilities of salt also help to fight allergens, bacteria, and infections in your airways. This kind of therapy is often used for people with asthma, bronchitis, COPD, chronic cough, and cystic fibrosis. Have you ever used a saline rinse for your sinuses? Imagine doing that without feeling like you’re drowning, but truly enjoying the experience instead. That’s salt therapy!

Side effects of salt therapy, especially passive salt therapy, are extremely rare. People who are particularly sensitive to salt may experience slight skin irritation/red patches. These usually disappear after a few sessions. Others may experience a mild tickle in the throat, which is easily resolved by gargling warm water.

Our Salt Therapy Studio in Winston-Salem has a therapeutic Hydromassage bed which builds an amazing experience that cleanses and calms.  We can even add a wellness IV to the session so that you get hydrated and enjoy the healthful benefits of vitamins and nutrients.
