2 The Salt Spa at the Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa, Galway. For hundreds of years, Eastern Europeans have used natural salt caves to help relieve respiratory and skin ailments, as well as stress. Recently, man-made caves have served the same purpose. Halotherapy ( halo in Greek means salt) or salt therapy is a natural, completely drug-free treatment with no side effects. The Salt Spa at the Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa, Galway, has been created from thick, natural blocks of sea salt from Poland & the Dead Sea, making a cave-like environment. The Salt Spa reproduces the microclimate of a natural salt cave using a machine called a dry saline diffuser. The dry saline diffuser creates naturally clean, salt-infused air, rich in iodine and negative ions, which may provide effective relief from some respiratory problems and skin conditions, in both adults and children. A relaxing, pleasant place to spend time, the Salt Spa has salt waterfalls, wicker columns with natural rock salt from Pakistan, a library for all age groups, and a children s play area with games and a miniature table and chairs. Designed for up to 10 people to sit in comfortable reclining chairs with individual reading lamps, the floor of the Salt Spa is covered with a thick layer of granulated salt, and the amber lighting creates a warm, relaxed atmosphere. About Salt Therapy Salt therapy is a 100% natural, safe, drug-free, complementary therapy which can, in many instances, provide effective long-term relief from a variety of symptoms. Salt therapy can be used as a complementary treatment along with prescribed medication, or as a stand-alone treatment. When salt therapy is used as a complementary treatment, it can often increase the effectiveness of prescribed medications. You know that energising feeling you get on a windy day at the beach? Clean, salty, iodinerich air boosts the mood, clears the head, and makes you breathe deeply. A Salt Spa gives you up to 5 times more benefits than at any ocean beach. The bacteriologically clean air, rich in iodine, is saturated with health-giving molecules of various salts through the dry saline diffuser and is breathed into your system, allowing you to absorb clean, purified, germ-free air. Make an appointment:

3 Salt Spa therapy can contribute to providing effective relief from many respiratory problems such as asthma, hay fever, bronchitis, sinus inflammation, snoring and respiratory infections, and may also provide relief from conditions such as nervousness, poor concentration, sleep disorders, ear infections, acne, eczema and psoriasis. The microclimate created inside the Salt Spa positively influences your health while also guaranteeing an opportunity for complete relaxation. Children & Salt Spa Therapy The presence of iodised negative ions in the environment destroys harmful micro-organisms providing numerous benefits to the human body. The salt particles have favourable effects on the blood microcirculation of the skin, assisting in the relief of the itching sensation of certain skin disorders, and can also help minor cracks and redness to vanish. The combined effects of the salt waterfall, lights and music creates a relaxing and stress-reducing environment. Benefits of Salt Spa Therapy Can help to relieve mucus from airways Can assist in providing anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effects Can help eliminate toxins from the body Can help improve overall wellbeing Can help reduce inflammation and speed up the healing process Ideal for personal meditation Many children with asthma, bronchitis, respiratory allergies, eczema and ear infections have benefited from sitting in a salt room built of salt blocks and inhaling microscopic salt particles. Salt therapy can be excellent for children, with various studies showing high possible success rates in paediatric asthma. With a play area for the little ones, this is a simple, drug-free and fuss-free way to relieve symptoms of various childhood conditions. In the Salt Spa the temperature is an even 21 C, humidity is at 60-70%, and the air is constantly infused with a dispersion of iodised negative ions which can destroy harmful micro-organisms, providing benefits to the human body, both internally and externally.

4 Length of Therapy In order to see results a minimum of 3 sessions per week is recommended. More sessions may be required depending on the severity of the ailment. Come in & have a chat Come in and tell us about your requirements, and let us introduce you to the benefits of the Salt Spa at Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa, Galway. A typical halotherapy plan entails 14 to 20 sessions over 6 to 8 weeks, with a 48 hour break between sessions. Each session is 45 minutes. Additional treatments may be scheduled thereafter, once or twice per month depending on the severity of the condition. Additional sessions may be required at the time of year when one is more likely to experience symptoms, such as those caused by allergies. Salt therapy is a natural, drug-free treatment, which is not a cure but relieves symptoms associated with the conditions. Relieves Symptoms It is a therapeutic method based on the principle of natural salt caves and assists in alleviating the symptoms of: Asthma Allergies & hay fever Coughs & colds Skin eczema & psoriasis Ear, nose & throat tonsillitis, ear infections, sinusitis, rhinitis, snoring Stress headaches & nervousness Bronchitis Make an appointment: Call: saltspa@radissonblu.com Visit: Opening Times: For opening times and details of adult only sessions, please visit: All sessions are experienced fully clothed.
