Salt Therapy Improves Breathing Symptoms During Flu Season

It’s flu season from October through May, and the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention recommends an annual flu vaccine. To help reduce flu symptoms should they arise, the Salt Suite is ready with tranquil salt rooms for adults and children that will relieve flu symptoms and help promote easier breathing.

Salt therapy is a holistic method that re-creates the micro-climate of a salt cave. Salt from the Dead Sea is used in the process, which sprays a dry salt aerosol throughout the room. As salt enters the lungs and respiratory tract, it dissolves bacteria and pollutants and works to expel mucous and open airways.

“Flu season can be miserable for so many people, and if one person in the family has it, chances are that the rest of the family will get it, too,” said Jamie Stafford, owner of Salt Suite locations in Delray Beach, Lake Worth and a newly opened spa in Palm Beach Gardens.

An individual session at the Salt Suite is $35 and lasts 45 minutes. Unlimited monthly plans begin at $75. Hours vary by location, but sessions are normally available hourly from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. To learn more, visit www.thesaltsuite.com.
