41 Celsius (105.8F) and 45% humidity. Surrounded by high-quality color-changing salt tiles.  Purely serene Soltagia (salt studio) is the latest healing space for overstressed women living in Japan.

 

The “Key benefit is to warm up and sweat effortlessly” said Minoru Kinjo MD, preventative medicine consultant. Our body temperature tends to be too low due to air conditioning, a sedentary life style, cold drinks, etc. As a result, you feel tired and get sick. It is said that as your body temperature lowers one degree, your metabolism goes down 15%. It is critical to detoxify and retain heat to boost your energy, immune system, and power of concentration. This is why Saltagia was born.

 

Spending 50 minutes in Saltagia provides you with tremendous therapeutic benefits – from salt, heat, music, color, and consciousness. Odor-free sterilized salts retain heat, detoxify your body, and help your respiratory system. The heat warms up your body without elevating blood pressure or pulse rate. Perspiration helps to improve your metabolism (you will sweat a lot!). Changing colors and healing music slow and relax your mind and spirit. As a result, Saltagia awakens your self-healing power and prevents disease.

 

What do you do in Saltagia? 

Nothing. Lie down and just relax. Meditate. A little bit of stretching and yoga will increase the benefit.  You may use their cushions filled with salt on your neck, hip, belly, etc. After all, this is the place for you to slow down and converse with you inner soul.

 

Sorry guys, Saltagia Omotesando is for women only – but Salt Studio in Osaka can accommodate gentlemen. Available for members only.
