Breathe Easy’s Wellness Center has opened a new Dobbs Ferry location, providing adults and children dry salt therapy, a holistic, drug- and side-effect-free treatment to help relieve respiratory and skin issues while promoting relaxation. Breathe Easy was founded by NYC entrepreneurs Gary Patrick, senior vice president of advertising for Skechers, and his wife, certified yoga therapist and breathing expert Ellen Patrick.

“Dry salt therapy, also known as halotherapy, simulates the beneficial effects of salt caves, which have been used for centuries to improve health and overall wellness,” Gary Patrick says.  “Salt is a natural and effective antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and anti-inflammatory mineral.”

He says adults and children who suffer from various respiratory and skin conditions, including allergies, asthma, sinus infections, eczema, psoriasis, colds and flus, have reported that dry salt therapy is a very effective addition to their overall wellness regimens. The treatment also helps decrease stress and snoring and ease sleep apnea, he says. “Dry salt therapy is the sole treatment that truly detoxifies the lungs, giving Breathe Easy consumers the chance to cleanse their airways and reduce inflammation while relaxing at the same time,” he says.

Breathe Easy now offers Yoga and Salt Therapy—a unique class led by Ellen Patrick, who will use yoga to teach participants to breathe more efficiently, enhancing the benefits of dry salt therapy. Additionally, Gary Patrick will lead breathing and meditation circles for the overall well-being of Breathe Easy clients.

Breathe Easy is located at 50 Livingstone Ave., Dobbs Ferry, NY. For more info, visit BreatheEasyUSA.com or call 917.400.7258.
