SALT THERAPY
A natural modality that has been practised since the
18th century, salt therapy involves inhaling dry salt,
which can help cleanse both the airways and skin to
relieve congestion, inflammation and dermal irritations.
A client sits in a salt ‘cave’, where a halogenerator grinds
pharmaceutical grade salt into minute particles that
become airborne when dispersed into the room. The
particles are then inhaled deep into the lungs.

BACK TO
REALITY
Workout apps and online fitness classes
have been trending for years, but this
might come to an end. Instead, face-toface
classes and experiences are expected
to rise in popularity as we realise the
mental health benefits of connecting with
others in real life.
Jess Barron says the current political
climate is causing a shift in our health
goals and routines. ‘[It’s] incredibly
volatile and people are on edge,’ she says.
‘In order to take care of their health,
I’ve seen friends heading regularly
to meditation centres. I’ve noticed
physical challenges like marathons
rise in popularity, perhaps as a way to
ease anxiety. I am seeing friends and
acquaintances sign up for glitter runs,
5Ks, half marathons and marathons more
than ever before.
‘It could be that people are looking to
these types of physical challenges to not
only improve their fitness and health
but to develop their determination and
improve their mental focus to thrive
in what can feel like an overwhelming
political world right now.’
