Ps you always know when a regular salt goer has been in when you see their blanket draped over the chair so it doesn’t get covered in salt if not in use during the next session. I’ve youse trained well 🤣

👋 Hello to all my new followers — I thought it was time to re-introduce myself and share why I opened this business.
For most of my life, I suffered badly with chronic sinusitis. I spent years stuck in a cycle of infections and antibiotics — honestly, 3–4 courses a year, sometimes more. It became “normal” for me, but it was exhausting.
In 2016, I discovered salt therapy… and it genuinely changed my life.
The difference it made to my health was so huge that in 2018, I made one of the biggest (and scariest!) decisions of my life — I gave up my nursing career and opened the salt rooms here in Omagh.
Fast forward to today, and I can honestly say I haven’t needed antibiotics for ANY infection in almost 8 years.
This business isn’t just my work — it’s part of our family life.
At the very first sniffle, cough, or chesty sound, my family (and now their kids) are straight into the salt room. It’s our go-to, our prevention, our support — and it’s something we truly rely on.
Yes, antibiotics absolutely have their place, but from my own experience, regular salt therapy can be a complete game changer — not just for sinusitis, but also for:
✨ Asthma
✨ COPD
✨ Bronchitis
✨ Recurrent chest infections
✨ Coughs & colds
✨ Children with croup or whooping cough
I opened this business because I believe in it — not just as a nurse, but as someone who has lived the difference it can make.
If you’re new here, welcome 💙
And if you’ve been caught in the cycle of constant infections, maybe it’s time to try something different.

While the saltrooms where the first therapy we had here at Serene, we have evolved over the past few years and now offer.,
💎 Infrared Sauna
💎 Red light Therapy
💎 Pelvic Chair to treat incontinence
💎 Bodysculpt

Feel free to message the page or book a session — I’m always happy to chat.

We were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Mervyn.
A familiar and welcome face every Friday, he was a valued long-standing client and a treasured part of our little “Friday 5” group. Over the past five years, what started as routine visits grew into a wonderful friendship.
Rest in peace Mervyn, always remembered by yours friends in the Saltroom.
Sending our love and condolences to his family Lisa, Alvin, Abbie, Louise and Paul . 💜

Key Health Benefits of Dry Infrared Sauna (vs. Wet Sauna)

1. Deeper Tissue Heating at Lower Temperatures
• Infrared sauna: Uses far-infrared light to heat the body directly, penetrating up to ~3–5 cm into muscles and joints.
• Wet sauna: Heats the air, which then heats your skin.

Benefit:
✔ More effective for muscle soreness, joint stiffness, and chronic pain
✔ Comfortable for people who can’t tolerate high heat
• Infrared: ~45–65°C (113–150°F)
• Steam sauna: ~70–100°C (158–212°F)

⸻

2. Improved Cardiovascular Effects with Less Heat Stress

Infrared saunas raise heart rate and circulation similarly to moderate exercise, but with less perceived strain.

Benefits include:
• Improved endothelial function
• Better blood pressure regulation
• Increased circulation and oxygen delivery

Why infrared wins:
✔ Achieves cardiovascular benefits without extreme heat or humidity, making sessions longer and safer for many users.

⸻

3. Enhanced Muscle Recovery & Pain Relief

Infrared heat increases blood flow and reduces inflammation more effectively at depth.

Particularly helpful for:
• Arthritis
• Fibromyalgia
• Lower back pain
• Post-workout recovery

Compared to wet sauna:
✔ Better pe*******on = better relief for deep muscle and joint issues

⸻

4. Lower Respiratory Irritation
• Steam saunas can feel suffocating and may worsen asthma or sinus sensitivity.
• Infrared saunas use dry air, which is gentler on the lungs.

Benefit:
✔ Easier breathing for people with asthma, COPD, or sinus issues

⸻

5. Greater Detox via Sweat Composition

Both types cause sweating, but:
• Infrared induces sweat at lower temperatures
• Some studies suggest infrared sweat may contain higher concentrations of heavy metals

Benefit:
✔ More comfortable and efficient sweating
⚠ Detox claims are often overstated, but infrared may offer a slight edge

⸻

6. Longer, More Frequent Sessions

Because infrared heat is tolerable:
• Sessions can last 30–45 minutes
• Can be used more frequently (3–5x/week)

Wet sauna:
• Typically 10–20 minutes due to heat stress

Benefit:
✔ Greater cumulative benefits over time

⸻

7. Improved Skin Health

Infrared heat:
• Increases circulation to the skin
• Promotes collagen production
• May improve acne, eczema, and skin tone

Compared to steam:
✔ Less dehydration and irritation
✔ Better for sensitive skin

⸻

8. Energy Efficiency & Accessibility

Not a health effect directly, but relevant:
• Faster warm-up
• Lower operating temperatures
• Can be installed at home easily

This increases consistency, which matters more than sauna type.

⸻

When a Wet Sauna May Be Better

For balance:
• Steam saunas are excellent for nasal congestion
• Traditional sauna users may prefer intense heat for relaxation
• Cultural or social sauna experiences (e.g., Finnish sauna)

⸻

Bottom Line

Dry infrared saunas are generally better if your goals include:
• Pain relief & recovery
• Cardiovascular benefits with lower heat stress
• Frequent, longer sessions
• Better tolerance and breathing comfort

Wet saunas excel for:
• Short, intense heat exposure
• Respiratory congestion relief
• Traditional sauna experiences
