Salt Lounge
Avon

In our state-of-the-art salt lounge at SHarper Surgery, we have created an environment where you can relax and enjoy the many benefits of dry salt particles. Salt is an excellent natural organic remedy. In addition to having an environment full of Himalayan salt bricks, our lounge has the newest and best halogenator. This is a highly specialized device that allows us to create the right balance of salt in the air to optimize the beneficial aspects of treatment. Dry salt naturally absorbs allergens, toxins, and foreign substances that have entered your respiratory system. Many report reduced inflammation and improvement in airway passages after using our salt lounge in Avon.

Dry salt also helps to keep your skin healthy and youthful. Salt has been shown to absorb impurities and provide anti-bacterial properties. This effect may help conditions such as acne, psoriasis, and eczema. Dry salt also accelerates cell rejuvenation and has been shown to improve skin rigidity.

In addition, salt increases your thirst and you will find yourself hydrating more often. When you do this, your hunger reduces, helping you to decrease your food intake and thereby supplement your weight loss regimen.

Salt therapy at our salt lounge in Avon helps tackle inflammation, as well as mental lethargy, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), stress, and depression, including postpartum depression.

While the recognized advantages of halotherapy mainly target the lungs and skin, the impact of negative ions on mental well-being holds a particular fascination for our psychiatrists. The negative ions generated during a halotherapy session exhibit a capacity to enhance mental clarity and overall mental wellness. These ions function by binding to and neutralizing the excess positive ions prevalent in our urban lifestyle, notorious for inducing mental fatigue and inflammation. Often likened to a natural antidepressant, negative ions bring about a remarkable change.

Reduced free radicals, or positive ions, result in diminished inflammation and a calming influence on the body, normalizing breathing rates, reducing blood pressure, and easing tension. Studies indicate that Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) in the winter months responds positively to halotherapy and light therapy, offering a rejuvenating experience akin to a beach visit.

Research conducted at the University of California indicates that positive ions contribute to anxiety, irritability, and a hyper-serotonin state, while the negative ions, prevalent in a salt room environment, counteract these effects by balancing serotonin levels. This equilibrium potentially leads to an improved mental outlook, mood, and sleep. Furthermore, the benefits of negative ions on the brain include a described “clarity effect,” enhancing mental concentration and performance. This alignment of scientific findings underscores the broader positive impact of SHarper Plastic Surgery’s salt therapy offerings at our salt lounge in Avon.
