The salt room has as an entire wall built out of Himalayan Salt bricks which naturally and continually release a high concentration of iodine and negative ions into the air.
The negative ions purify the air in the room, kill bacteria and drastically reduce radiation, resulting in a deep purification of the skin, which along with the iodine, greatly improves conditions such as dermatitis or psoriasis.
The iodine also decongests and disinfects the nasal passages and this is helpful against conditions such as asthma, sinusitis, congestion and seasonal allergies.
The high concentration of mineral salts and negative ions present in the air, also give a sense of general well-being and improved mental clarity.
The concentration of these elements is greater than at the seaside and as a result, the benefits of a 30-minute session in the Salt Room can be compared to the benefits of 3 days at the sea.

After the thermotherapy phase, a Finnish sauna is followed by a dip in a frozen lake and a massage with birch branches to reactivate the circulation. This ritual has been adapted to our climate and environment. Exposure to the very hot dry air, is followed by a cold shower or a bath to stimulate the proper functioning of the thermoregulation.
Before starting the treatment, it is advisable to drink an infusion which facilitates the emission of sweat.
It is best to take a lukewarm shower before entering the sauna, in this way the pores dilate and the muscles of the body relax.
Before repeating another cycle of sauna, it is very important to hydrate with water or herbal teas, rest, relax on a bed and receive relaxing massages.
The Finnish sauna detoxifies the body, eliminating heavy metals through the sweat. It helps relax the muscles and relieve pain. It gives skin a healthier appearance as the heat expands the pores and the sweat eliminates toxins. The skin then undergoes a deep cleansing and becomes more resistant to atmospheric agents. The Sauna relaxes, it increases mental concentration and it lowers the levels of nervousness and insomnia.

The Turkish bath is extremely effective in cleansing the lungs of harmful micro particles: the moist heat present inside the steam bath renders the mucose more fluid, benefiting those who suffer from chronic diseases of the respiratory system. Having treatments at least once a week, can improve bronchitis, sinusitis and rhinitis. The moist heat present in the Turkish baths also combats adiposity of the skin and cellulite.
