Dubbo business So Salty is the first of its kind in the Central West

Dubbo business, So Salty started when business owner Amy Isbister first heard of Salt Therapy back in 2015 when her son was struggling with croup.

"We were at our wits end and unsure what to do, we spoke with our paediatrician about the number of steroids we were giving our son and they suggested Salt Therapy. From here, we started to travel to Newcastle for treatments and my love for the therapy grew," she said.

Salt Therapy is suitable for all ages and consists of relaxing in a salt room for 45 minutes whilst inhaling pharmaceutical-grade micro salt particles.

"It was used, originally to help alleviate symptoms related to respiratory illnesses, it is now known to have much wider positive effects," she said.

Ms Isbister has spent the last decade working alongside the "best" holistic health professionals in Dubbo.

"Back at the end of 2020, when the opportunity to open my own health and wellness centre presented itself to me, I jumped at it, and I haven't looked back," she said.
