Meet our featured beauty with brains Maria Mucciarone, manager at ‘The Salt Room’ (Perth). Here is an interview with her.
1. Tell us a bit about yourself. Is there any special incident or experience that you would like to share with us?
I first met Kat from the salt room when she bought something I had advertised on FaceBook Marketplace. I had at that time been at home and ill with Crohn’s Disease since about 2016. Kat asked me to come to her Salt Room to see if it would help. It did, I ended up volunteering to pay for my treatments until a position came up. I have not looked back. Where I could barely walk let alone function before – the salt helped me get rid of much of the infection and has allowed me to return to work, eat better, feel better, and I am almost back to my pre Crohn’s days. Crohn’s never really goes away however I am in remission and my doctor is amazed!!
2. Can you explain to us about what you do and what is salt therapy?
Our grandparents may have been on to something when they used to say the salty sea air was good for our lungs. Salt Therapy, one of the oldest therapies on earth, is currently undergoing tremendous growth with Salt Rooms springing up around the world. Holistic, drug free, and natural, Salt Therapy promotes better breathing, healthier skin, sounder sleep, improved physical fitness, endurance and overall wellness.
A natural cleanser and disinfectant for the body, Salt Therapy is especially good for respiratory (cold and flu, asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, cystic fibrosis, hay fever) and skin (eczema, psoriasis, acne, dermatitis) conditions, as well as reducing anxiety and calming the senses.
As you breathe, minerals in the salt are absorbed by the skin and air passages. This helps clear pollens, viruses, toxins, and other pollutants from the body. Negatively charged ionized salt and trace minerals present, naturally draw toxins and impurities from the body reducing inflammation and clearing the lungs and airways. Salt is anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antihistamine and antimicrobial – it covers off on everything.
The therapy is also a natural way to help deal with and manage stress, depression and anxiety. Negative ions generated, calm and relax the nerves by promoting abundant oxygen levels in the blood, normalizing breathing and decreasing blood pressure, resulting in relaxation, calmness and better sleep.
Regular Salt Therapy will help strengthen the immune system by improving the function of the cilia in your respiratory tract, protecting lungs from irritation and inflammation, leading to less instances of respiratory illnesses including colds and flu, hay-fever and other bronchial ailments.
When you visit the Salt Room be prepared to relax and step off the planet. The Salt Room atmosphere with its’ dimmed lights and peaceful music provides a serene environment for you to enjoy time to yourself and rest your mind for an uninterrupted 45 minutes. And for the little ones our Indoor Beach is sure to please.
3. What is your advice to women who want to or have just started a healing/ wellness business?
Remember you are helping people. If you keep helping and are coming from the right place in your heart – then everything will work itself out. You might not get rich in a hurry, but the satisfaction of helping and doing the right thing is far more gratifying.
