Halotherapy, also called salt therapy, is a holistic method that recreates the microclimate of a salt cave. Dry saltaerosol is dispersed into our Wellness Suite where the walls and floor are covered with layers of salt. An antiviral and antibacterial environment is created by the layering of salt on the walls and floor. The dry salt aerosol is a key factor

in the relief of symptoms for many health problems including respiratory and skin conditions.

A machine called a halogenerator grinds salt to the size of 1-5 micrometers, with most pieces 30 times finer than a human hair, to produce a dry salt aerosol. The generator is placed on the outside wall of the Wellness Suite. While sitting in the room for 30 minutes, the fine salt aerosol can travel to the deepest part of the lungs, areas of the respiratory tract, and deep into the skin tissue. As salt enters the lungs and respiratory tract, it dissolves bacteria and pollutants while working to expel mucus and open constricted airways. For skin, salt kills toxins on the surface level

while reducing fluid to decrease the swelling at deeper levels to help

The salt acts as an anti-bacterial agent throughout the air, on the walls, and covers everything in the room. The rest of the facility is not surrounded by salt, so we discourage anyone from coming in that may be contagious.

As with any type of therapy, results may vary. We always encourage our clients to consult their local physician with

regard to Halotherapy.

The number of sessions varies depending upon your goals and the condition(s) that you wish to improve. For those wanting to boost their immune system to fight colds and flu as well as those wanting to improve performance, whether that is athletic or job related like auctioneers and singers, one session per week will offer benefit.

For those who want to improve respiratory and skin conditions as well as swelling, most clients find that 2 – 3 sessions per week alleviate symptoms.

Dress for comfort. Loose clothing that you can relax in is best. If you have a skin condition, you may want to wear

something that exposes more skin. For those without skin conditions such as dermatitis, eczema, or psoriasis, these

conditions are not contagious and cannot be passed from one person the other. Socks are to be always worn in the

Wellness Suite.

Consuming too much salt is linked to high blood pressure. With Halotherapy, you are inhaling a dry salt aerosol which

only enters your respiratory system not your digestion tract. The salt particles are so fine that even if you were to eat

that amount it would not pose a risk to your health.

Scientific studies show insignificant side effects. Few individuals have experienced a slight throat tickle which can be alleviated with gargling warm water. In cases with an individual that is highly sensitive they can experience slight skin irritation or red patches; however, these typically go away after a few sessions. If you experience increased coughing due to mucus buildup, that means the salt therapy is working. This is the body’s way of draining the mucus buildup, and expelling it from your airways.

No, it is fine to continue your medications as you need and as directed by your doctor. Since Halotherapy is all-natural, it does not have any interactive effects with medications. Often, individuals who undergo salt therapy will find that they are less dependent on certain medication and that their symptoms are less frequent and less severe.

Salt therapy has been used for centuries. Scientists and doctors have studied salt therapy and found bene

While going to the beach and breathing in the ocean’s salt air is great for the body, Halotherapy takes that feeling to a whole new level. The effects of breathing in the dry salt aerosol in our Wellness Suite are far greater than that of breathing in wet salty air from the ocean. Dry salt can move through both the upper and lower respiratory tracts where wet salt can only reach the upper airways. Dry salt is negatively charged, therefore, able to revive cilia and speed up its motion. The cilia line our respiratory tract and are covered by a layer of mucus. When a foreign particle such as dust is inhaled, the job of the cilia is to beat it, causing the mucus to travel towards your mouth so it can be coughed out. Salt therapy speeds up that process, and in some cases, where that process is non-existent, it works to

get it started.
