Salt Caves - the Effect of Salt

A variety of options are available today to improve your personal well-being, bringing back to mind the healing power of stones. Salt is a natural stone (millions of years old) which was used in ancient times as a popular, tried and tested remedy. It was approved for use, for example, as treatment of wounds and for the prevention of infections. In current times, the salt stone has been experiencing its rediscovery and multitude of uses.

Salt is also known for its curative effect in the treatment of asthma and bronchitis, as well as many skin diseases, such as psoriasis, acne and even dermatitis. Health resorts and day spas have been adding salt treatment facilities (such as salt caves, brine grottos and salt rooms), which allow users to benefit from the salt stones´ healing properties. Increasingly, people have been adding salt caves to their homes for easy access at any time of the day.

Inhaling pure and ionized air from the salt caves can be beneficial to over-all well-being. Breathing brine-atomized air delivers valuable minerals and microelements such as iron, potassium, calcium, bromine iodine along with magnesium and other minerals. The salty air also contains huge particles of sodium chloride which help as an anti-allergenic and an anti-fungal. It is also medically confirmed that this microclimate can relieve a lot of discomfort and help the healing process by positively influencing many illnesses. Some of these illnesses are allergies, fatigue, insomnia, heart and vascular disease and all illnesses pertaining to the upper respiratory system, such as bronchial illnesses and lung disease.

Materials and Salt Cave Construction

With today´s technology, salt stones can be used to make salt caves into a therapeutic, relaxing oasis for use in health spas. Users are able to enjoy the soothing effect of the genuine salt baths. A visit will result in pure relaxation and regeneration of the body. The addition of salt beds and an intensive brine atomizer, which can fortify the air with microelements, can be very beneficial.

Other minerals may be incorporated to enhance the effect of these brine grottos. For example, amethyst, agates or aquamarine may be combined with marble, crystallized quartz (mountain crystals), kunzite and jasper. In addition, onyx, jade, hematite and malachite can be used to establish a good foundation for a wonderfully designed wellness facility. By using back-lit salt stones a pleasant effect is achieved, which results in a unique and warming atmosphere.

Salt cave construction has grown and evolved. Whether in large spa facilities or private homes, adding a salt cave can enrich your recreational environment. You may also want to build a variation of a salt cave in cavern style from top to bottom. This could include a saline basin, a curved ceiling, uneven walls and stalactites hanging from above.

A well-planned heating system with appropriate dehumidification and ventilation will create an extraordinary climate. As a special highlight, heated salt lounges, fitting the shape of your body, will add to the decor of the cavern. Additionally, the atmosphere of the cavern can be intensified by illuminating the walls. The lights provide enchanting warmth, which can be enhanced by playing soothing music.

These salt caves offer total relaxation, combined with perfect harmony for body, mind and soul. The room which was originally intended for daily personal care has been transformed into a perfect, private oasis of relaxation and well-being.

Such rooms can only be constructed with a high degree of technical knowledge and comprehensive experience with noble stones. Creative skill allows for perfect planning and visualization of these rooms prior to completion. Such expertise can only be found in selected companies that have developed necessary technical know-how and experience.
