Another good use for salt?

A new (and slightly bizarre if I say so) form of therapy is popping up across the country... Halotherapy. What exactly does it involve?! Sitting in a room caked with salt, while salt from the Dead Sea is pumped into the room. The people who swear by it claim it helps with both respiratory and skin problems, however there is no research to back up these claims. The rooms are modelled after salt caves used in Eastern Europe. The LA Times wrote an interesting piece about it. Read more HERE.


I wonder if salt spas will be the next big thing in DC ;)
