Salt room therapy. Is it safe to do this prior to surgery?

Question

I hear Himalayan Salt rooms can be very relaxing. Is it safe to do this prior to surgery?

Jonathan Berman, MD · Answer

Hello, and thank you for your question. Generally, Himalayan Salt rooms can be safe to use before surgery. I’ve never had a patient who has asked about Salt Room Therapy. They are not very common in south Florida. However, be sure to discuss this with your surgeon for his or her opinion. Best of luck.

Hi and thank you for your question.  While I would strongly encourage that you discuss this with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon directly, in my practice I would permit this so long as it was no closer than one week from my patients surgery date and that he/she was sure to stay well hydrated.  Each surgeon has his/her own protocols and recommendations, so it would be important for you to ask your surgeon and adhere to his/her advice.  I hope that this helps and I wish you the best on your upcoming surgery!

As long as your surgeon is good with, you should be fine.  Consult with your surgeon with any questions prior to your surgery.
