# Immunity-Boosting Spas The Salt Therapy Breathing Centre Helps Alleviate Chronic Lung Conditions By Sarah Moore | Published 2012-04-03 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salt-therapy-breathing-centre References: [facebook](http://www.facebook.com/pages/Salt-Therapy/150031755038273) & [salttherapy](http://www.salttherapy.ca/) The [Salt Therapy Breathing Centre](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salt-cave) recommends increasing one's intake of something that has recently been branded as detrimental in large quantities: salt. Based on European traditions that use [salt for skin cleansing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bath-salt-soaks) and respiratory relief, the spa features sauna-like rooms that let the power of airborne salt-particles cleanse and strengthen the body. Dry-salty air is easily inhaled by the human body and has many healing properties. These tiny particles attack phlegm and other microorganisms and bacteria that linger in lungs. The sessions are safe for anyone over four years of age. Treatments given at the Salt Therapy Breathing Centre use natural elements found in nature to prevent and treat chronic conditions such as asthma and bronchitis and help to bolster the immune system against other common illnesses. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Salt Therapy:** Salt therapy is a growing trend in wellness and spa industry that offers potential for disruptive innovation in respiratory health and immune system strengthening. - **Natural Healing:** The use of natural elements found in nature for preventive and therapeutic treatments is a trend that presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the healthcare and wellness sectors. - **Alternative Respiratory Treatments:** The trend of alternative respiratory treatments, such as salt therapy, opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in the medical and wellness industries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Wellness:** The wellness industry can benefit from integrating salt therapy and natural healing practices to offer innovative and effective treatments for respiratory health and immune system enhancement. - **Spa:** Spas can tap into the trend of immunity-boosting treatments like salt therapy to provide unique and beneficial experiences for their customers, contributing to disruptive innovation in the spa industry. - **Healthcare:** The healthcare industry can explore the potential of alternative respiratory treatments, such as salt therapy, to offer non-invasive, natural options for managing chronic conditions and boosting the immune system, leading to disruptive innovation in healthcare practices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Prefabricated Salt Cave Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salt-cave.md) - [Saline Nasal Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saline-nasal-sprays.md) - [Beneficial Lung-Cleansing Supplements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herboxa-nutrition.md) - [Respiratory Support Supplements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/respiratory-support-supplement.md) - [Cutting-Edge Oxygen Therapies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyperbaric-oxygen-therapy.md) - [Mental Relaxation Destinations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mind-oasis.md) - [Respiratory Relief Patches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breathe-patches.md) - [Mineral-Rich Bath Salts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bath-therapy.md) - [Nasal Saline Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/euka-wellness-saline-spray.md)
