Amber Kennoy of Everyday Kentucky came to the Halo Salt Room to chat with Kari Mullins on the benefits of salt therapy, especially as the weather gets colder and respiratory illnesses are becoming more common.

Keri explained that salt therapy helps to cleanse your respiratory system. Inside the room, a specialized machine grinds the salt and disperses it into the air. Guests can then relax and breathe easily from comfortable leather chairs. Inhaling the Salt Room’s air is like breathing in the ocean breeze, but in a more concentrated and controlled environment. The result is a calming, spa-like, and luxurious experience, leaving visitors feeling refreshed and renewed.

Salt therapy is safe and beneficial for people of all ages, from infants just a few days old to seniors. It’s particularly helpful for young children and pregnant and breastfeeding mothers who are unable to take many medicines if they have allergies, congestion, or an illness and are seeking natural relief from their symptoms.

The Halo Salt Room and Wellness Spa also offers Ashiatsu Massage, which is a barefoot massage where the therapist stands on the table and uses her feet to do the massage. Keri noted that this is the best message you will ever have in your life.

Appointments for salt therapy can be booked the same day, with express 10-minute, 25-minute, and 50-minute sessions available. Massage sessions, however, should be scheduled in advance. Gift cards are also available for those who’d like to share the experience with someone special.
