Linda Cieri of The Villages constantly battled bronchitis for 15 years. Like clockwork, the illness would strike immediately after the holidays and also during her yearly long-distance flight to California to visit family.

“It always started with an earache and was followed by sore throat,” she says. “Then it would go into my chest.”

Fortunately for Linda, life has become a breath of fresh air since she began visiting The Salt Room nearly one-and-a-half years ago. The company, which is located in the Khol’s shopping plaza in Lady Lake, allows clients to lie peacefully in a salt-covered room for 45 minutes while listening to soft background music. During that time, they breathe in salt particles, which act as an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial agent and help remove mucus and pollutants inside the respiratory tract.

To say Linda is satisfied with this alternative form of therapy is an understatement.

“I haven’t had bronchitis since I began receiving treatment at The Salt Room,” she says. “I go several times a week to be preventative and stay on top of it. I think salt therapy is wonderful because it’s non-invasive, therapeutic and risk-free. Also, the décor and music are so calming that sometimes I close my eyes and peacefully drift to sleep. When you’re so relaxed it helps heal the body.”

Linda also loves the treatment she receives from owner Rebecca James and her dedicated staff.

“They are all so charming and genuinely care about me. They go above and beyond to accommodate me and take a personal interest in my health.”
