If you’re already familiar with what the mom in this viral TikTok video is talking about, go ahead and give yourself a gold star…

Because we have a feeling that this is going to be completely new information for a lot of folks out there.

Her name is Laura and she owns a business called Caney Salt and Wellness Studio in Holliston, Massachusetts.

The video she posted explains the interesting take that Laura has on how she tries to keep her children healthy.

The video’s text overlay reads, “I salt my kiddos…and you should, too!”

Laura showed viewers her kids playing in piles of salt all over the house.

She said she used to give her kids more vitamins and supplements, but not anymore.

The video’s narration explained, “An immune system on overdrive isn’t strong, it’s stressed. What our kiddos actually need is balance. When their airways are constantly irritated by dust, allergens, pollution, their bodies can stay on alert.”

It continued, “Halotherapy helps to clear that out so their immune system can settle, respond when it needs to, rest when it doesn’t,

Laura wrote a lengthy caption in the video’s caption and said, “Most moms are told to “boost” their child’s immune system, but that is so wrong!”

She continued, “If you family struggles with asthma, seasonal allergies, chronic congestion, frequent coughs, or recurring flare-ups, the conversation isn’t about boosting. It’s about regulation. Halotherapy (dry salt therapy) supports respiratory health by helping clear allergens, pollutants, and inflammatory buildup from the airways. When the lungs are clearer, the immune system doesnโ€™t have to stay on high alert.”

Laura then wrote, “This is not a cure. Itโ€™s not a replacement for medical care. It’s a proactive respiratory support for families who are tired of living in reaction mode every cold and flu season.”

She added, “If youโ€™re a mom navigating asthma, allergies, or constant inflammation in your home, youโ€™re not alone. This is why I built Caney.”
