March 26, 2010 - PRLog -- Los Angeles, CA – In a city whose air quality is still ranked the worst in the nation according to a 2009 report by the American Lung Association, fresh air is hard to find.

Salt Chalet, the first salt room therapy wellness center on the West Coast, is an oasis of fresh, salt-infused air in the heart of our polluted city. Salt Chalet introduces salt room therapy, or halotherapy, which involves a series of sessions in a room that simulates the therapeutic microclimate of salt caves: the walls, floor and ceiling are covered with numerous layers of salt and a machine disperses additional fine particles of salt into the air. The resulting environment has been proven in various clinical studies to alleviate respiratory and skin ailments ranging from asthma to allergies to eczema. A study recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that long-term treatment in a salt room had a positive impact on lung function and reduced pulmonary exacerbations.

Salt is a natural anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory agent and serves to kill harmful bacteria in the lungs, clear mucus build up, open air passages, boost the immune system and improve lung function. The safe, natural and soothing treatment is also beneficial for anyone seeking a cleansing, relaxing and de-stressing spa experience.

“We’ve seen some incredible improvement in our clients’ conditions,” said Dikla Kadosh, the owner and manager of the newly opened Salt Chalet. “While we don’t recommend that people stop using the medication their doctors have prescribed, we do have asthma clients that have very happily reported that they have reduced the use of their inhaler from several times a day to once in a while after only a few treatments. That’s amazing.”

Salt room therapy has been in wide use across Eastern Europe for several decades, and has in recent years started spreading to other parts of the world, including England, Canada, Israel and Western Europe. The phenomenon is on the verge of exploding here in the United States, with a handful of pioneering salt rooms opening in the last year and drawing enthusiastic media coverage.

Salt Chalet, which opened its doors in November 2009, is the first to bring this advancement in health to the West Coast with a luxurious, sparkling facility located in the San Fernando Valley at 17401 Ventura Blvd., Suite B17, Encino. Salt Chalet offers three spacious salt rooms, two for adults and one for children, with ambient lighting, relaxing music, television entertainment and games for children. Sessions last 45 minutes and prices vary based on the number of sessions purchased. The recommended full course of treatment consists of 12-15 sessions. Family packages with significant discounts are available.
