Salt - It's good for Health !!!

Talking about Salt -- you can think of 'Salt' Angelina Jolie of Evelyn Salt the CIA Perative Movie film right? Someone else can think about 'Table Salt' or 'Rock Salt' used in cooking or seasoning on dining table ... Yep Yep we can think of 'Salt' in many variety form ... Let's know more about the 'Salt' that not much of people don't know much --- 'Salt Cave' !!!

In Thailand this is call SALTCAVE BANGKOK -- The concept is one type of Therapy done in a room called 'Salt Room' ... full with fresh salt aerosol blown into the air. It is good for people with asthma, colds, all cases of allergies, skin problems, bronchitis, stress, and much more ... including snoring problems !!!










It's the therapeutic use of salt mines or salt caves -- in fact any forms of exposure to salt air which normally known and happened in ancient via anciant lakes and seas with unrefined rock salt (sodium chloride) and other mineral salts (which could be calcium and magnesium) depending on the source. And now it's so popular in Europe as lots of Professors / Doctors (either in Poland or German) has studied more on this ... a kind of practised in many countries to have salt caves for petient therapy such as Slovakia, Poland, even Ukraine. The room has been designed in various atmosphere to fit all ages ... even having your personal cocoon of your own !!!

About SALTCAVE in Thailand, we have to put the white gown including plastic cover on shoes (bare feet if you prefer for steping in the room) including putting a cap on ... after I have been inside the room for a while I know why we have to cover this (besides the hygeinic to the salt) ?!?!?

The room was not that big - In fact it had 3 leather armchairs inside ... yes, it's all white as it's all covered with salt ... I tried to take photo to show you how white and how much salt contained inside the room (please use your effort to see the white pictures below) ... anyway, besides it's the air-conditioning room, there's also the machine that spray the salt particles out for (see below right picture - the small square box) ... This one is the important machine and that's the reason why we needed to wear all thing up - as a lot of salt was sprayed all over the room. Proven were on my magazine cover (middle picture) that you can see small white powders on my black magazine cover and also a door (right picture) that white powders was also stuck at the edge of door !!!

The special characteristices of this room must includes stable air temperature (below 22 degree) & humidity. Of course, for a while after being inside the room, my nose was clear !!! It's all under the science that salt destroy bacteria and fungi plus help strengthen the immune system.

Okay -- if you feel stress ... salt also helps as it is good for the nervous system and relieves stress as well as anxiety because it is saturated with negative ions .... Right you can try and experience this 1st salt cave in Thailand -- another quiet place for relaxation -- no talk, iPod is allowed ... From the suggestion, they would like us to sleep during as it's the best consistent breath taking.

The price is 600Bht for 45 minute period -- Call for appointment is suggested
