Step 7: Himalayan Salt Tepidarium (15 - 20 mins)
Immerse yourself in the Himalayan Salt Tepidarium and sink into a comfortable lounger following a rejuvenating hydrotherapy circuit. This room is a sanctuary of warmth and tranquility where you can unwind and rejuvenate amidst the healing embrace of Himalayan salt-infused air. This unique space is designed to both energize and calm the body and mind, offering a blissful retreat from the demands of everyday life.
Gently heated, Himalayan salt serves as a natural ionizer, thanks to salt’s hygroscopic properties. When heated, the Himalayan salt crystals attract moisture on the salt block surface, and as that moisture evaporates, negative ions are emitted. The negatively charged ions from heated Himalayan salt serve to purify the circulating air.
Why do we need negative ions? The natural environment – such as nature’s magnificent forests, beaches, and waterfalls – creates abundant negative ions, but in today’s uber-connected world, computers, smartphones, microwaves and other electronics constantly emit positive ions — also known as “electric smog” — that can leave us feeling drained and down. Excessive positive ions can also come from bacteria, mold and allergens.
To counteract those excessive positive ions, Himalayan salt – rich in negative ions and essential nutrients and minerals – offer numerous health benefits for our bodies, such as stress reduction, energy increases, and mood boosts at a biochemical level.
