Himalayan Source is included on the 2021 ISPA Innovate Awards Ballot for Business Practices.3/4/2021  We’re thrilled that our private halotherapy experience for underutilized treatment rooms is recognized on ISPA’s 2021 Innovate Awards ballot in the category of business practice! For this year’s awards, applicants were asked to submit business practices that demonstrate creative changes to their business protocols or offerings as a result of the pandemic for this respective category. We are proud of the development of our private halotherapy room as a way for spas and wellness centers to adjust their offerings and expand revenue while mitigating COVID risk and safely welcoming guests.
Himalayan Source: Renovation of underutilized treatment room into a private halotherapy room — Developed in response to the pandemic, Himalayan Source’s private halotherapy experience minimizes contact and delivers multiple modalities — halotherapy, infrared heat therapy with gemstones and more. The experience turns underutilized treatment rooms into salt therapy rooms to maximize wellness and revenue. Intentionally designed for use by one person at a time, the experience combines far infrared heat therapy with the benefits of Himalayan salt to create a luxury healing experience with a particular focus on supporting respiratory health with minimal human contact. Are you an ISPA member? Please vote for Himalayan Source in the business practices category before Tuesday, March 9 at 5 p.m. EDT.

Himalayan Source Himalayan Salt Panels Recognized as Best Spa Decor by Spa & Wellness MexiCaribe2/11/2021  Himalayan Source’s Himalayan Salt Panels have been recognized Best Spa Decor in this year’s 2020 Product Awards by Spa & Wellness MexiCaribe.
Himalayan Source salt panels feature 100% pure hand-carved Himalayan salt in specially designed salt frames with a variety of salt and frame options to fit any décor in spas, offices and residential and sauna space. The panels feature hand-carved Himalayan salt, created when the ancient Primal Sea, where scientists and scholars believe all life originated, was dried up by energy from the sun. Warmed Himalayan salt is believed to reduce oxidative stress in the immediate surroundings, creating a relaxing, healing environment for guests. It is also ideal for adding to a sauna where dry heat activates the Himalayan salt blocks, transforming them into ionizers. Himalayan salt panels can be easily incorporated into day and resort spas, wellness and fitness centers, massage therapy treatment rooms, businesses and homes to create a clean, pure, bacteria-free environment that detoxifies and replenishes the body. Himalayan Source salt panels and other top quality Himalayan salt concepts can be found at top spas including across the world including Langham Place, New York, New York, Jewel Grande Montego Bay Resort & Spa, Jamaica, The Biltmore, Miami-Coral Gables, Florida and Fisher Island Club. “The addition of Himalayan salt panels to a spa, sauna or fitness or wellness center is simple, easy to incorporate, and so impactful for better health. We are grateful for Spa & Wellness MexiCaribe for this recognition as best spa décor,” says Ann Brown, co-founder of Himalayan Source. Spa & Wellness Mexicaribe is a quarterly industry magazine for spa enthusiasts and industry professionals across Mexico, Caribbean and Latin America. Spa & Wellness Mexicaribe provides up-to-date information on global and national spa trends, news and events, products and services, and new product launches.

A recent study has confirmed the benefits of halotherapy, offering new support for dry salt as a wellness treatment. Results of the pilot clinical study run by Dr. Cindy Hollenbeck, a biochemist, showed improvement in lung function across all study participants. Her work, “Effect of Halotherapy on Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) and Forced Expiratory Volume in 1-second (FEV1) in recreational athletes above the age of 40 - Pilot Study,” adds to the body of research about halotherapy’s effect on respiratory health, skin health, athletic performance and general relaxation.
There have been many clinical studies in Europe and Russia, where halotherapy is not only supported but accepted as more than a wellness treatment. Continued studies in the United States will help bring this same level of understanding to our market.
The study, conducted between February and July 2019 at a spa and wellness facility in East Lansing, Michigan, measured changes in the amount of air exhaled in a forced breath. Dr. Hollenbeck focused on recreational athletes age 40 and older, nonsmokers who exercise at least three days a week and were not current halotherapy users. Participants received a dozen 25-minute sessions of dry-aerosol halotherapy twice a week over a six-week period.

Results showed increased lung function, improvement in sleep, increased energy during athletic activity and decreased feelings of stress. Key takeaways include:
- The full benefits of halotherapy range from bactericidal to mucokinetic and anti-inflammatory effects, which are all important for lung health.
- The dry salt stimulates the body’s internal processes for cleansing the respiratory system, removing buildup of foreign particles that cause various respiratory ailments and ultimately strengthening respiratory function.
- The microparticles of aerosolized dry salt trigger skin microcirculation and cellular membrane activity, enhancing overall skin health. Halotherapy’s anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties can aid in the repair process of skin concerns such as edema, psoriasis, rosacea and acne, where the main problem is bacteria and inflammation.
Dr. Hollenbeck, a biochemist who founded the World Halotherapy Association and serves as WHA president, shares two images from European studies showing the lung bronchi before and after salt therapy. These images should be posted in every halotherapy treatment room!
Halotherapy is taking on steam in the United States and is fast becoming an accepted alternative to help provide symptomatic relief of breathing and skin conditions. Halotherapy is a safe modality, backed up by more than 50 years of research in Europe and a revolutionary delivery process (the halogenerator) that makes it easy, affordable and effective for consumers to improve breathing and overall health in a drug-free, natural way.

Helping spas and wellness centers envision new ways of doing business in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Himalayan Source announces a new, private halotherapy experience for clients that minimizes human contact while delivering multiple therapy modalities — turning treatment rooms into salt therapy rooms that maximize client wellness and business revenues. Himalayan Source’s new concept will be piloted by Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa in Delray Beach and is expected to launch June 1, 2020.
Designed for use by one person at a time, Himalayan Source’s private halotherapy experience combines far infrared heat therapy with the benefits of Himalayan salt to create a luxury healing experience with a particular focus on supporting respiratory health with minimal human contact. Designed to be added to any treatment room, the private halotherapy experience may be offered as a standalone treatment with no therapist commission needed or as an add-on/upgrade in conjunction with a facial or massage.

Himalayan Source's new private halotherapy experience, set to pilot at Hand & Stone Massage in Del Ray, Florida in June, adds a new therapeutic experience with minimal human contact for spa guests.
“We designed this private halotherapy experience to help clients feel comfortable returning to spas,” said Ann Brown, co-founder of Himalayan Source. “During this time of high anxiety because of COVID-19, it is crucial that we support guest health and wellness in our community. This grounding, healing salt therapy experience allows spas to offer wellness in an environment that minimizes risk for clients.”
During the private halotherapy experience, a client or member benefits from true halotherapy while enjoying the soothing view of an aesthetically pleasing, glowing Himalayan salt wall. Breathing in pharmaceutical grade particles of salt from a halogenerator, he or she relaxes on a massage table that provides far infrared heat therapy combined with gemstones, pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) and LED light therapy. Guided meditation to restore body, mind and spirit rounds out the experience to provide total rejuvenation and recentering.
“Safety has always been a top priority at Hand & Stone. As we prepare to reopen and our guests return for some much needed relaxation, we are thrilled to offer them extra peace of mind with this new halotherapy service offered by Himalayan Source,” said Katherine Chenier, owner of the Delray Beach Hand & Stone franchise that is piloting the new concept.
Combining expertise in Himalayan salt therapy and understanding of ergonomics, human engineering and kinesiology, Himalayan Source offers a full line of Himalayan salt concepts to complement any spa or wellness space. Clients include the Langham New York, Jewel Grande Montego Bay Resort & Spa in Jamaica, the Biltmore Miami-Coral Gables, Gaylord National on the Potomac and more.

Here's what we — and you — can do
While there is currently no known cure or vaccine for COVID-19, one of the most important things any of us can do is strengthen our immune systems.
Educate others on how the healing powers of salt can support wellness, particularly by supporting strong respiratory function.
Studies suggest that salt boosts immunity, and halotherapy has long been popular with travelers, particularly after flights, who feel salt's positive effects in their breathing and know how salt can support a healthy respiratory system.
Breathing in salt particles may help reduce inflammation in the lungs, clear mucus, and potentially increase lung capacity. Anti-inflammatory, salt therapy is often used to help people with asthma, allergies or other respiratory ailments. Salt is also antimicrobial and antibacterial.
Simply put, salt therapy can make it easier to breathe.
Halotherapy and the use of Himalayan salt for spa therapy is one of the fastest growing modalities in our industry for a reason. We need to make a commitment to do all we can to stay well and to educate others on how to support their own health and immunity.
