warnings about the health risks of eating
too much salt, salt aficionados of an entirely
different breed are touting the little crystals
as a cure for asthma and allergies, a boost
to the immune system, and a way to
increase athletic endurance and even to add
a glow to your complexion. The secret? Skip
the shaker in favor of inhaling the white
stuff.
At New York's La Casa Day Spa , the hot sauna
is lined with blocks of Himalayan salt that
"strengthen the barrier function of the skin,
and the heat helps the negative ions
penetrate into your lungs," says owner Jane
G, Goldberg. She also recommends an hour
in the flotation tub filled with 800 pounds of
Epsom salts. "They're a phenomenal healing
agent," says Goldberg. "One house in there
is like five hours of sleep" ($80 for 60
minutes). Engelman agrees; "Epsom baths
help eliminate toxins by pulling them out of
the skin and also help relax muscles and
relieve pain."
