There was a Living Social Deal for a place I had never heard of called The Salt Room. Its in La Jolla. So its fancy.
http://saltroomlajolla.com/ It looked cool so I purchased 2 deals and put it on Facebook to see if any of my friends were in. It seemed like something to do with friends. I had Maria in mind when I originally got the deal and today was the perfect day to go de stress with friends. (not that I am really stressed but some people are)
At The Salt Room La Jolla we reproduce the microclimate of a natural salt cave by using a special device called a halogenetator and covering the room entirely in salt! Now, for the first time you can treat the symptoms of inflammation and discomfort of respiratory problems, skin ailments and stress by using a safe, all natural and drug-free method. Salt Therapy is based on the principle of prolonged exposure to the microclimate found in natural salt mines or salt caves. The Salt Room La Jolla is one of only a few in the U.S. that uses salt from The Dead Sea and patented state of the art technology to reproduce the atmosphere of a salt cave with a monitored therapeutic microclimate. The air in our Salt Room is ionized and saturated with a natural substance – a low concentration of curative highly dispersed aerosol of dry saline (salt).
The microclimate in our Salt Rooms is formed naturally, through convective diffusion from the salt walls combined with controlled temperature and humidity. This creates a hypo-bacterial and allergen-free air environment.
In our salt room, the dry-salt enriched air contains tiny salt particles that are not noticeable and easily inhaled with natural breathing. By comfortably sitting and breathing normally for a prolonged period, low concentrations of salt are delivered to where it is most needed – deep in the lungs, where the salt then dissolves phlegm in the bronchial tubes and kills micro-organisms that cause infections. The phlegm, allergens, bacteria and any small impurities are later coughed up by the patient or leave the body through other natural metabolic ways. The treatment works to reduce the basis of inflammation by destroying bacteria and strengthening the immune system.
Salt is a negative ion and has a natural calming effect. Salt Therapy is 100% natural, drug-free and non-invasive. Although Salt Room Therapy is new to the United States, in many countries in Eastern Europe the therapy is considered a conventional therapy. Our therapies can be used as a complementary treatment or as a sole treatment. Salt Room Therapy is suitable for adults and children from the age of 6 months and up.
Here's the review.You enter into a spa like setting with lots of cool looking products. We were greeted by a very cute and young woman who had us sign in and fill out waiver forms. The actual salt room is about the size of a dentist office. The walls are covered in salt and the floor is like a sand box filled with pebble size salt crystals. In fact, there are sand toys for kids to play with. Its supposed to be very good for allergies and other respiratory problems. You wear your regular clothes and sit in zero gravity chairs and relax. I was a little itchy since I have been having some dry skin lately but my skin feels great now. My sinuses feel like they have been rinsed with salt water and are very clear. I don't know if I would go again without a "groupon" of some sort since its pretty pricey. $45 for a 45 minute session and its a tad far to go just to go. But I thoroughly enjoyed today.
Of course we had to have brunch afterward... with mimosas. We chose the pomegranate ones because they have health antioxidants at the historic Brockton Villa overlooking La Jolla cove. http://www.brocktonvilla.com/
It is what it is...
Namaste
