Salt Therapy, Plera Wellness Plus

A 30 minute escape to a little wooden salt cabin sounds like something out of your favourite childhood book. But, what if I told you this is very real and very good for your respiratory health? The session comprises of you literally just lounging in reclining chairs and breathing normally, with walls made of Himalayan salt bricks emit a soothing glow. The salt particles once inhaled, travel through your sinuses and respiratory tract, absorbing irritants, moisture, allergens and toxins from deep within your lungs. It also has the same effect on your skin, easing out many skin issues. Who knew, right?
