Rock Salt Tiles
Rock Salt Tiles is an ingenious concept for Pakistan. They are commonly
used to make speleotherapy cabins. Speleotherapy means to be cured while
located in a room. The presence of rock salt tiled walls is for people to sit
and breathe in ionized air. Natural negative ions are produced through
ionization process of salt crystals.
In European countries like Ukraine, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Armenia and
in Asia, like Pakistan, have utilized salt mines as speleotherapy clinics.
People visit these in large numbers to spend healthy time inside the mines to
breathe rich negative-ion air. Since many patients can’t afford to go to the
mines due to long distances and travelling fatigue, they prefer to have a salt
mine cabin of their own, set up in any of the small rooms of their houses. Rock
salt tiles are used to make walls and flooring of the cabin, turning it into a
small salt room.
State-of-the-art cabins are being constructed by using lights behind these
walls of rock salt tiles. This projects a dimly lit, soothing and relaxing
atmosphere.
Rock salt tiles are gaining popularity in western high cuisine where
food is cooked and served over exotic rock salt tiles.
