Salt Therapy and Halotherapy in Jacksonville, FL

The process of using salt as a healing agent has been around for thousands of years, often associated with the ancient Greeks. Today we can still reap the benefits from sodium chloride, the two atoms that make up the salt molecule. Salt is an integral part of our life, regulating water intake, circulation, nervous and respiratory system, muscle contractions, and more within the body. In addition, salt also has external healing benefits, offering a noticeable improvement to skin afflictions such as eczema, rashes, psoriasis, dry skin due to its ability to replenish and trap moisture in the skin. It is also thought to be a great stress reliever and mood booster. Because of all of these wonderful benefits, we offer salt therapy sessions at Pura Vida Body & Mind Spa in our Salt Cave, designed specifically for healing and relaxation. If you would like to learn more about these treatments or schedule an appointment, you can call our Fleming Island, FL medical spa today.

You will be a good candidate for salt therapy sessions if:

• You have skin afflictions such as eczema, dry skin, acne, psoriasis, or others
• You have respiratory issues such as asthma or sinus troubles
• You are looking for a great way to de-stress, relax, and boost your mood

During a salt therapy session, you will be taken to our Salt Cave, which is a place designed for you to relax in a temperature-controlled environment and inhale the natural salt-filled air. You will be surrounded by salt on the walls and floor, which will be diffused into the air so you can breathe it in easily. These sessions typically last around 40 minutes at a time. This is created to be a comfortable, stress-free treatment that brings healing to your mind and body. 

Studies show that regular salt therapy sessions can yield results in about two weeks if you are receiving these treatments every day. It may take longer to see the benefits if your sessions are less frequent. Over time, respiratory issues should begin to improve and skin should feel more moisturized and have fewer visible blemishes. You should also feel less stressed and more relaxed. You must continue to attend the sessions in order to maintain the benefits. 

At Pura Vida Body & Mind Spa, we offer a variety of add-on treatments that can be incorporated into your session, including:

• SCALP: Focusing on scalp and head massage to relax and de-stress
• TMJ/SINUS RELIEF: Therapy to relieve sinus pressure and the painful symptoms of TMJ.
• MASSAGE GUN: Therapeutic device incorporated into the massage for extra relaxation
• CUPPING: Uses suction to decompress muscle tension and release trigger points
• EXFOLIATING SCRUB: Choose between hands, feet, or back to experience a sea salt scrub with Shea butter body cream
• AROMATHERAPY: Uses natural oils to elevate your relaxation. *Does not add additional time

Salt is one of the most crucial elements for the human body to thrive and even continue working properly. Therefore, it is no wonder that using salt as a therapeutic treatment can produce so many wonderful benefits for your body, skin, and mind. You can combat skin afflictions, reduce respiratory issues, and decrease stress by partaking in our relaxing salt therapy sessions at Pura Vida. Call today to find out how to start your treatments.
