Why Winter Stress Hits Harder Than You Think
If winter has you feeling foggy, fatigued, anxious, or just “not yourself,” you’re not alone. Between shorter days, colder weather, increased workload, and the social pressure of the holiday season, your body’s cortisol (stress hormone) tends to spike this time of year.
And when cortisol stays high?
Sleep becomes irregular
Muscles stay tense
Energy drops
Irritability increases
Focus disappears
That’s where natural, restorative wellness therapies come in—most notably salt therapy and infrared sauna sessions.
This winter, many London locals are pairing the two together for the ultimate “reset,” and the results are nothing short of transformative.
How Salt Therapy Helps Reduce Cortisol and Restore Calm
Salt therapy—also known as halotherapy—is more than a relaxing escape. When you breathe in fine, pharmaceutical-grade salt inside a quiet, dimly lit salt room, something powerful happens:
✔ Deep relaxation triggers cortisol reduction
Salt therapy activates the parasympathetic nervous system (your “rest and digest” state), which naturally tells your body to lower stress hormones.
✔ Airway-clearing benefits improve sleep
Salt helps open the respiratory system, making breathing easier—something many guests say helps them fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
✔ Negative ions support emotional balance
Salt-rich environments release negative ions that can boost serotonin, helping improve mood during dark, gloomy winter months.
✔ It’s like a spa session + meditation room in one
Guests often describe it as “the most peaceful 45 minutes of their week.”
If your mind is busy, your body is tense, and your sleep is suffering, salt therapy can feel like hitting a reset button.
Enhance the Benefits: Why Infrared Sauna + Salt Room Is the Perfect Winter Combo
Now imagine pairing that deep relaxation with the comforting warmth of a private infrared sauna session.
Infrared sauna sessions are scientifically linked to:
Lowered cortisol levels
Muscle and joint tension relief
Boosted immunity
Improved circulation
Elevated mood and mental clarity
When you start with a sauna and finish with a salt room, the body moves from detox → relaxation → restoration.
It’s the winter version of a warm hug and a deep exhale your body desperately needs.
