According to the National Institute of Mental Health, depression is one of the most common mental disorders in the U.S.  It estimates more than 14 million Americans suffer from major depression every year and more than three million suffer from minor depression. Some 30 million Americans take antidepressants at a cost of over $10 billion a year.   Salt Therapy may provide an additional or alternative treatment that is safe, natural and very affordable.

​

Depression can happen at any age, but often begins in adulthood. It is now recognized as occurring in children and adolescents, although it sometimes presents with more prominent irritability than low moods. Many chronic mood and anxiety disorders in adults begin as high levels of anxiety in children.

If you remember how good it felt as a child to be out in nature, then you'll easily understand how Salt Therapy treatment can possibly help with depression, including Seasonal Affective Disorder if living in northern latitudes, as well as post partum depression. It is said that 45 minutes in a salt chamber or room is equal to being at the beach for 2 days.  The negative ionization of the atmosphere can leave one feeling invigorated and with a positive attitude.
