What is Speleotherapy?
Speleotherapy is a natural therapy that involves spending time in salt caves or salt-enriched environments to improve respiratory and overall health. The air in these spaces is rich in negative ions and microparticles of salt, which help cleanse the respiratory system and promote well-being.

How Salt Lamps Can Be Used for Speleotherapy
While traditional speleotherapy takes place in natural salt caves, Himalayan salt lamps offer a way to recreate some of these benefits in homes, offices, and wellness centers.

1. Air Purification and Negative Ionization

Salt lamps emit negative ions, which can help neutralize airborne pollutants, dust, and allergens. This makes them beneficial for individuals suffering from asthma, bronchitis, and allergies.

2. Respiratory Benefits

The microscopic salt particles released by heated salt lamps may help reduce mucus buildup and inflammation in the airways, making it easier to breathe.

3. Stress Reduction and Relaxation

The soft, warm glow of salt lamps creates a calming ambiance, which can reduce stress, improve mood, and promote relaxation—important factors in holistic healing.

4. Sleep Enhancement

Negative ions have been linked to improved sleep quality. Keeping a salt lamp in the bedroom may create a soothing atmosphere conducive to restful sleep.

5. Improved Immunity

Salt lamps may help enhance immune system function by reducing airborne bacteria and pollutants, supporting overall health.

Setting Up a Salt Therapy Space at Home

• Use multiple salt lamps in different sizes to increase ionization.

• Combine salt lamps with a salt inhaler or a salt wall to maximize benefits.

• Maintain proper ventilation and humidity levels for enhanced effectiveness.

Salt lamps are a convenient and aesthetically pleasing way to incorporate elements of speleotherapy into daily life, offering a natural approach to improving air quality and well-being.
