The Salt Retreat is proud to be Frisco's first dry salt therapy center. Offering the healing benefits of salt therapy in a beautiful spa-like setting. WHAT IS SALT THERAPY? Dry salt therapy is a natural and non-invasive therapy that can help relieve the symptoms of a wide range of respiratory and skin conditions. Because salt is naturally anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and acts as an antihistamine, people experiencing everything from asthma to eczema may experience significant and lasting symptom relief following regular salt therapy. HOW DOES IT WORK? While a client relaxes in one of our salt rooms, a machine called a halogenerator grinds up pharmaceutical grade salt into tiny particles that become airborne when dispersed into the treatment room. The dry salt particles are then inhaled deeply into the lungs to help relieve inflammation, loosen congestion, and allow easier and improved breathing. Because salt is anti- bacterial and anti- inflammatory, the salt particles help to open up the airways, increase oxygen intake and cleanse the airways of smoke, dust, pollutants and other allergens. In addition to breathing in the salt, the dry salt particles also land on the skin and help relieve symptoms of sore, flakey, red and irritated skin often associated with psoriasis and eczema.
