Einführung in die Salztherapie zu Hause

Introduction to salt therapy at home

Salt therapy, also known as halotherapy, has a long history and is said to have numerous potential health benefits.

What is salt therapy?

This therapeutic method of salt therapy dates back to ancient Greece, where Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, is said to have discovered the healing effects of salty air for the treatment of respiratory diseases. Halotherapy involves staying in special salt rooms or caves. Microscopic salt particles are absorbed through the breath and skin and are said to have antibacterial and circulation-stimulating properties. This is said to help relieve respiratory diseases, improve skin problems and promote general well-being. In the 19th century, Polish doctors also observed that miners who worked in salt mines suffered less from respiratory diseases. These and other observations led to the development of modern salt caves and halotherapy centers.

Health benefits of salt therapy

Due to the versatile properties of salt, salt therapy is said to have a potentially positive effect on some areas of the body. There is not a great deal of research into salt therapy, and the assumptions about improved health through salty air are based primarily on many individual reports.

  • Respiratory system: Salt particles have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and expectorant effects. They can relieve symptoms of asthma, bronchitis and other respiratory diseases.
  • Skin care: Halotherapy helps with skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema and acne. The antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of the salt reduce skin irritation and soothe the skin.
  • General well-being: Salty air can increase well-being, reduce stress, improve sleep quality and increase energy levels. Negative ions in the salty air promote the production of serotonin, a hormone that increases feelings of happiness.

Halotherapy at home

Can you have the positive effects of salty air at home?

The desire for a healthy environment, especially in places where you spend a lot of time, is great. If you want to enjoy the benefits of negatively charged ions and minerals in your own four walls, you can rely on small helpers. The SalinoVatis Mini-Saline is a simple and efficient way to enjoy the benefits of classic salt therapy at home. The device uses a large, 3D-printed surface that optimizes the natural evaporation of the brine. This method distributes the salt evenly in the air and creates a stimulating indoor climate that is comparable to that at the sea or in a salt cave.

Advantages of SalinoVatis:

  • Efficient evaporation: The large surface of the device ensures continuous distribution of the salt particles.
  • High salinity: The robust material allows the use of highly concentrated saline solutions (over 30% salinity), which can maximize the therapeutic effect.
  • Easy to use: The device is user-friendly and requires minimal maintenance.

Another advantage of SalinoVatis is its discreet design, and its quiet and clean operation. The salt is dispersed in the air and not as dust or stains in your living space. Your visitors will probably only know that you are doing permanent halotherapy if you tell them. But if you want to celebrate the salt therapy experience even more intensely and further enhance the pleasant effects of SalinoVatis, we have a few tips on how to make your home "saltier" with DIY options.

DIY salt lamps

Salt lamps are an appealing way to transform your home into a wellness temple while benefiting from the positive properties of salt. Here are simple instructions to make your own salt lamp:

Materials:

  • Coarse rock salt (Himalayan salt is particularly suitable)
  • A heat-resistant bowl or glass container
  • A small light bulb with socket and cable

Directions:

  1. Fill the bowl or glass container with coarse rock salt.
  2. Place the light bulb in the center of the jar so that it is surrounded by the salt.
  3. Plug in the lamp and enjoy the warm, calming atmosphere.

    While DIY salt lamps are a great visual addition to your home, the SalinoVatis Mini Saline offers a more effective way to mineralize indoor air. Salt lamps heat the salt, which releases some particles, but lacks the physical movement for a real effect. SalinoVatis turns the brine into microscopic droplets by continuously dripping it onto the structural tower.

    Salt inhalers and saline nebulizers

    These devices spray fine salt solutions into the air, cleaning the respiratory tract and caring for the skin. They are ideal for special rooms such as home saunas or well-ventilated, empty rooms. Regular cleaning is important here, as the salt remains on surfaces as a fine mist and then as dust.

    Setting up salt rooms and caves at home

    These projects are complex and expensive, require special construction and can be difficult to clean. Salt area ideas:

    • Salt wall
       Install salt walls in a room. For example, you can stack salt blocks or equip existing walls with a suitable binding agent and salt in the grain size you want.

    • Salt corners
      Create small corners with, for example, salt stones, salt lamps, SalinoVatis and other indoor fountains in combination.

    • Salt soil
      Use fine salt as a floor covering for a standing feeling. The salt is hygienic thanks to its antibacterial properties, but should be protected from dirt and moisture if you want to enjoy this interior design for a long time.

    With the SalinoVatis Mini Saline you can enjoy the benefits of a salt room without much effort and expense. All you have to do is sit close to the device (the most minerals in the air are found within a radius of up to one meter) and stay for a few minutes or even hours. Next to the bed is a good way to improve your well-being - literally - while you sleep. It is the ideal solution for anyone who wants to experience the beneficial effects of salt therapy in an uncomplicated way.

    Salt baths and foot baths

    Salt baths are an easy and relaxing way to enjoy the benefits of salt therapy:

    • Salt bath
      Add 500 grams of sea salt or Himalayan salt to your bath water and enjoy a 20-minute soak. It helps to relax the body and mind and nourish and moisturize the skin.

    • Foot bath
      Add a handful of salt to a bowl of warm water and soak your feet for about 15 minutes. This can improve circulation and revitalize tired feet.

    After a relaxing salt bath, you can enhance the effect with the SalinoVatis Mini Saline. While the bath nourishes the skin and relaxes the body, the miniature graduation tower ensures clean, salty air in the room, which makes breathing easier and further deepens relaxation.
