The Salt Room is a specially designed room that is covered floor to ceiling and on the floor and ceiling in a salt. Then salt is pumped into the room so you are breathing the salt deep into your respiratory system. It like a salt cave in the mines that was documented in the 1800's as being beneficial for health. The miners never had respiratory issues like the coal miners and were always healthy.

The room has 6 zero gravity chairs and the room is designed to hold up to 6 people. They play soft music and lower the lights so most times I go off to sleep for 45 minutes or meditate. A couple of times there have been people using their iphones to surf but not to talk or maybe they were reading. Sometimes it has just been me and my DH. It is really relaxing and very beneficial.

I have a history of hayfever and was in that mode when I left Canada mid September. When I got here I went into a major coughing thing and it was only the Salt Room therapy that has cleared it out. The Salt is an antiviral and an antibacterial so it gets rid of the pathogens. Allergies is a sign of an overactive immune system so it seems to help the system get back into balance. I met an older fellow who had leukemia and was a sax player and could not play until he had the salt treatment. and another COPD fellow who had been on 2 litres of oxygen was now down to 1.5 after 4 visits!

DH and I both have a respiratory history and we are both sleeping better and coughing much less. It seems that we are cleansing at a deeper level now and I am hoping to clean out my bronchials and lungs after a lifetime of annual respiratory challenges.

BTW if you are on antibiotics, check out increasing your gut flora so you can reestablish a good balance. You can get acidophilus at Lake Nutrition and possibly Publix, though I haven't checked that out.

Hope this helps.
