Halotherapy
Salt therapy for respiratory health and skin conditions
About This Treatment
Halotherapy, or salt therapy, involves breathing in microscopic salt particles in a controlled environment (salt cave or salt room). The salt has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to clear airways, reduce inflammation, and improve respiratory conditions. It also benefits skin conditions. Modern halotherapy uses halogenerators to create pharmaceutical-grade salt aerosol. The practice is based on Eastern European salt mine therapy.

What to Expect
You sit in a salt room designed like a cave, with salt on walls and floor. The halogenerator disperses microscopic salt particles into the air. You relax, read, or meditate for 45 minutes while breathing normally. The environment is calming. You may taste slight saltiness. Some people experience temporary increase in coughing (clearing mucus). Many do 1-2 sessions weekly, especially during cold season.
