A Dash of Salt
Archbald business
provides salt cave oasis
Imagine the feeling of fresh, pure air fi lling your lungs while you stand
on the shore of your favorite beach. Thanks to The Salted Pixie Holistic
Living in Archbald, you no longer have to travel a great distance to relive
the relaxation derived from inhaling salty air.
Owner Tiffany Cianci explained that her daughter’s struggles with
asthma and dust allergies led her to research holistic treatments
after exhausting all avenues with traditional medicine. After seeing a
difference in her daughter’s breathing thanks to the use of essential
oils and a salt lamp, Ms. Cianci delved even deeper into her research,
discovering salt caves and halotherapy. She realized that other people
would benefi t from the unique therapy and decided to open her
business.
“When I realized these healing methods not only worked, but benefi ted
our immune system, I was humbled very quickly,” she said. “We are not
taught about holistic treatments and remedies, nor are we taught about
how the earth provides natural ways to support our mind, body and
spirit.”
Halotherapy’s benefi ts are as vast as the sea itself and dry salt air,
such as that found at The Salted Pixie, is more powerful than moist air.
Inhaling salt particles may reduce infl ammation and mucus in the lungs,
and improve respiratory conditions such as asthma, allergies, bronchitis,
sinus congestion and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
Scientifi c studies show that people with asthma and other ailments
breathe easier after halotherapy. Additional benefi ts include reduced
stress and headaches, increased energy, and better sleep patterns.
“When you’re in our cave, the only lights you will see are the glow of the
salt lamps, and the only sound you’ll hear is relaxing meditation music,”
Ms. Cianci said. “There are no cell phones and no talking is allowed
during the session. Everyone is in there for the same purpose-- to relax
and reset.”
To help foster a holistic lifestyle, The Salted Pixie also offers Reiki,
drum therapy, meditations, tarot and faerie oracle readings, classes
for children, workshops and spiritual nutrition classes, among others.
The store also offers products from local artisans to demonstrate its
commitment to community.
“The Pixie is a place where you are totally supported in your holistic
healing journey,” Ms. Cianci said. “Everyone is welcome here, we’re here
to support everyone on their journey to wellness.”
