The salt room at Above and Beyond Yoga and Salt Therapy, in Mobile, has been helping many post-COVID patients with their recovery. According to owners Jake and Shoshana Treichel, scientific research reveals that halo-therapy is beneficial for COVID-related issues because inhaled dry salt particles have bactericide, mucokinetic, hydrophilic and anti-inflammatory properties, which may reduce inflammation in the entire respiratory tract and widen the airway passages. “We’ve had doctors sending post-COVID patients to us for halo-therapy to help their recovery process. And we see clients coming in for preventative measures as well,” says Shoshana.

Natural Awakenings readers can enjoy a free salt therapy session ($30 value) with the purchase of five (for 2021). “It’s a way for us to contribute to the health, calm and well-being of the community during times of uncertainty,” say owners Jake and Shoshana Treichel.

As the first Himalayan salt cave and halo-generator in Mobile, Above and Beyond offers dry salt therapy, or halo-therapy, to remove toxicity from the respiratory system, improve skin appearance and boost the immune system without harmful effects. This natural and relaxing therapy has no side effects and is available to both adults and children. Other conditions that may be managed with salt therapy include asthma, bronchitis, colds and flu, sinus infections, COPD, cystic fibrosis, ear infections, sleeping problems, anxiety and fatigue.
