WashyWashyHappyHappy95 Posted March 11, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 11, 2018 It's a relaxing cool room with nice music playing, but when I tried to think about any benefits I was getting from the "salt therapy" I started to feel like an idiot. Don't you probably inhale more salt just walking around the decks on a sea day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauer-kraut Posted March 11, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Its a European thing, but you need to actually follow a course of several weeks for any "benefit" to be realized. Yes, your thought on breathing salt air just being on the ship is probably correct. My mother grew up near the sea in England, and spent hours outside usually daily and she still got a goiter. Her comment to the Doctor when she was diagnosed was, "Who would have thought that would be a problem for me growing up as I did." So the "benefit" of salt air is negligible. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WashyWashyHappyHappy95 Posted March 11, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Thanks. I knew I felt like an idiot "popping into the salt bath" for a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauer-kraut Posted March 11, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Thanks. I knew I felt like an idiot "popping into the salt bath" for a few minutes. No need to feel that way!!! Consider it another place to just relax and de-stress from the hordes that are roaming the pool deck! ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
