How Salt Therapy Can Help with Seasonal Affective Disorder

Writer: Thomas JohnstonThomas Johnston

We all know that the winter months can be difficult, especially when we don’t have much exposure to sunlight and are struggling with the cold temperature. Thankfully, Salt Therapy can help us in difficult times! Below are some ways in which our salt rooms can brighten your days even in January.


  • Improves Breathing and Oxygen Flow:

    • Salt therapy can help open airways, improving oxygen circulation throughout the body, which may enhance energy levels and mood.

  • Promotes Relaxation and Reduces Stress:

    • Spending time in a salt room creates a calm environment that promotes relaxation, easing symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and stress.

  • Boosts Serotonin Levels:

    • Halotherapy is believed to stimulate the nervous system, which may help balance mood-regulating hormones like serotonin.

  • Enhances Sleep Quality:

    • The calming effects of salt therapy can improve sleep, helping combat fatigue and lethargy associated with winter depression.

  • Strengthens the Immune System:

    • Salt therapy's anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties support the immune system, reducing susceptibility to winter illnesses that can worsen feelings of low mood.

  • Provides Vitamin D-Like Effects:

    • While it doesn’t replace sunlight, the warm, inviting environment of salt rooms can mimic the soothing effects of sunshine, offering relief from the winter blues.

  • Combines with Meditation for Mental Clarity:

    • Salt rooms are ideal for practicing mindfulness and meditation, helping to clear mental fog and provide a sense of inner peace.

All of these will help with the difficulties we face seasonally. Book a session of salt therapy today and enjoy the benefits!
