Salt therapy, or halotherapy, takes place in a room lined with salt, where a halogenerator disperses fine particles of pharmaceutical-grade salt into the air. Clients sit or recline in loungers for 45 minutes, breathing normally; children's rooms often include a play area of salt. It is modelled on the speleotherapy salt caves of Eastern Europe.
Centres market it for breathing, sinuses and skin conditions. The research is limited: a few small studies suggest benefits for some respiratory symptoms, but the evidence is not strong enough for medical recommendation, and Asthma + Lung UK advises people with lung conditions to continue their prescribed treatment. What clients reliably report is a calm, quiet session in an unusual setting.
A 45-minute session costs around £20 to £45, with family tickets and packs available. People with severe asthma, active infections, fever or high blood pressure should check with their doctor first, and salt therapy must not replace inhalers or other medication.

The City Centre holds the hotel spas and the restored Victorian city baths, while the Quayside's riverside hotels sell spa days and evening packages that book out fast on weekends when the city fills with celebrations. Jesmond is the residential heart of it, with independent wellness centres, yoga studios and complementary practitioners around Osborne Road and a loyal, repeat clientele. Gosforth is quieter and books further ahead, with Pilates, reflexology and mindfulness courses well represented.
