Fox News reports on a wellness center in Manhattan that features salt rooms, which are said to help skin problems, sinus issues, and asthma. Salt therapy, also known as halo therapy, has been practiced since the 1800s and is believed to be cleansing to the skin and lungs. The wellness center aims to mimic natural salt caves in Europe.



While allergist Dr. Hale Yarmohamadi points out that the benefits of salt rooms have yet to be scientifically proven, she does acknowledge the use of salt solutions in nasal irrigation and that saltwater baths may help people with allergic skin conditions.

Would you try the salt room cure to treat allergies, asthma, or allergic skin conditions?
