Salt Therapy at Oshun · Kingston, Jamaica

Dry salt air.
Lungs and skin.

Salt Therapy at Oshun is dry halotherapy — micronized pharmaceutical-grade salt dispersed in a controlled-environment room. Sessions are 30-45 minutes; supportive (not curative) for respiratory and skin concerns. Cleared with Dr. Rockhead's team before starting.

Four things that are true of every visit

Care by an OB/GYN

Every procedure at Oshun is reviewed and led by a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynaecologist. Dr. Rockhead is a physician first — the same one who treats women's health on the other side of his practice.

30 years caring for women

Three decades as a practicing OB/GYN at Amadeo Medical Group, the parent clinical practice. Every Salt Therapy plan is reviewed by a physician who has cared for women through pregnancy, surgery, perimenopause, and post-natal recovery.

Written plan first

Every Salt Therapy patient leaves consultation with a written plan: areas, technique, timing, recovery, cost. Returning patients refine the same plan rather than starting from scratch every visit.

Conservative, considered

Oshun's approach favours conservative, considered care over aggressive intervention. Decisions are made in conversation with you, options are presented in plain language, and consent is informed at every step.

The honest version

Why salt therapy sometimes disappoints.

Salt therapy disappoints when expectations are set against thin evidence or when serious respiratory conditions get treated with halotherapy instead of medically.

The evidence base is moderate at best and varies by indication. Mild symptoms may respond; severe asthma and pulmonary disease need medical management.

Treat halotherapy as complementary support, not primary treatment. Patients who substitute it for prescribed asthma medication put themselves at risk.

At Oshun, we don't run that model. Salt Therapy here is physician-led from consultation through follow-up, with a written plan in your hands and a follow-up visit on the calendar before you leave.

A Salt Therapy visit at Oshun follows a clear sequence — from consultation through the procedure itself through follow-up. Here is what happens, step by step.

i.

Consultation

Before any Salt Therapy is scheduled, you meet Dr. Rockhead in person at 9 Devon Road. He reviews your medical history, examines you as appropriate, and explains the options — including the option not to proceed. You leave with a clear written plan and a quote.

ii.

Preparation

Comfortable clothing. Remove jewellery and electronics. Skip lotions on exposed skin.

iii.

The salt therapy session

You enter the halotherapy chamber and sit or lie comfortably for 30–45 minutes. A halogenerator disperses micronised salt particles into the air; you breathe normally and relax.

iv.

Recovery & follow-up

Drink water afterwards. Program review at end of planned course.

Mild asthma may benefit adjunctively. Severe or uncontrolled asthma is a contraindication.
How many sessions?
5–10 sessions over a few weeks.
Safe for children?
Generally yes for healthy children.
Safe in pregnancy?
Generally yes for routine use; respiratory conditions warrant review first.
What do I wear?
