The sea is not the only source of salt humanity has ever used. Eastern Europe has always been a reliable source of high-quality salt extracted from mines that are hundreds of meters below ground. In fact, the rock salt (also known as halite) from Romanian salt mines is considered the best-quality salt there is. That’s why, to make our salt rooms, we visited Praid, the Transylvanian village famous for its salt and used it to inspire our halotherapy treatments.
Our Process..
-
We mount our salt rooms with an organic adhesive that we crafted and refined ourselves
-
Using the adhesive, we mount our salt rooms with patented salt tiles with the highest quality of unprocessed and natural salt, from salt mines in Praid and Dej, Romania
-
As per specifications from our professional salt extractor, the salt we use is composed of a minimum of 97% Natrium Chloride (NaCl), the rest being natural, insoluble and non-harmful elements
-
The humidity of our salt is maintained at a maximum of 2%, for its natural properties to optimally take effect
-
A ventilation system helps create and maintain the saline environment we need
-
Based on scientific and mathematical calculations from specialists in the Praid Salt Mine, and readings from our (insert device name), we confirm that the air in our Salt Cave is 3% natural saline, which is ideal for halotherapy
We are excited to show you more about the process through our gallery and our salt cave right here in Borehamwood, UK!
Why us?
At Salt Cave Halotherapy, we refuse to use artificially ventilated aerosol salt or electronically grinded salt. We do not process our natural salt. Instead, we replicate the exact palliative conditions found in Eastern European salt caves by personally sourcing raw salt, directly from salt mines in Praid and Dej, Romania. To mount this salt, we have also developed a 100% natural and patented adhesive, which enables our salt to release its organic properties.
