Halotherapy (Salt Room)

Halotherapy (Salt Therapy) is a natural, drug-free treatment that involves inhaling microscopic salt particles to support respiratory health, reduce inflammation, and improve skin conditions. This therapy mimics the effects of natural salt caves, which have been used for centuries for their healing properties.

The Science

Salt's Natural Antimicrobial & Anti-Inflammatory Properties

  • Salt is a natural antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory agent.

  • When inhaled, the fine salt particles help break down mucus and kill bacteria in the respiratory tract, reducing congestion and improving lung function.

 

How the Halogenerator Works

  • A device called a halogenerator grinds pharmaceutical-grade sodium chloride into microscopic particles and disperses them into the air.

  • The particles are negatively charged, allowing them to attract positively charged impurities and toxins in the airways, helping to flush them out.

 

Negative Ions & Their Benefits

  • Salt therapy generates negative ions, which are known to:

    • Neutralize free radicals.

    • Improve mood and reduce stress by increasing serotonin levels.

    • Enhance oxygen uptake and lung function.

    • Create an environment similar to ocean air, salt caves, or waterfalls, promoting relaxation and mental clarity.

Conditions Treated

  • Asthma – Helps reduce inflammation and improve breathing.

  • Chronic Bronchitis & COPD – Assists in clearing mucus buildup.

  • Allergies & Sinusitis – Helps reduce swelling and clears nasal passages.

  • Eczema – Helps soothe itching and irritation.

  • Psoriasis – Reduces scaling and redness.

  • Acne – Helps kill bacteria and reduce breakouts.

Potential Benefits

Respiratory Health:

  • The negatively charged salt ions help to thin mucus, improve airflow, and open constricted airways.

  • Salt particles can reach deep into the bronchi and alveoli (tiny air sacs in the lungs), making it beneficial for many respiratory condition.

  • Halotherapy is thought to help alleviate respiratory conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, and allergies by promoting better lung function and reducing inflammation.

​

Skin Conditions:

  • When salt lands on the skin, it draws out impurities, balances oil production, and reduces inflammation.

  • The salt particles may have a positive impact on various skin conditions, including eczema and psoriasis.

  • The anti-inflammatory properties of salt may contribute to skin improvement.

​

Relaxation and Stress Reduction: The serene environment of a salt room, often designed with calming aesthetics, provides a tranquil setting for relaxation, stress reduction, and overall well-being.

​

Improved Breathing: The salt particles inhaled during a session may help clear mucus, reduce congestion, and improve overall respiratory function.

How Often?

  • Respiratory Conditions (Asthma/Bronchitis):
    2-3x/week while symptoms are acute, then reduce to 1-2x/week for maintenance as needed

  • Allergies: 1-2x/week during peak allergy season; otherwise, 1x/month for maintaining respiratory health

  • Skin Conditions (Eczema/Psoriasis): 2-3x/week until symptoms improve, then as needed for maintenance

  • Stress Reduction/General Well-being: 1-2x/month as needed

  • Illness Prevention: as needed at the first signs of the onset of the common cold or impending respiratory illness
