SALT THERAPY
WHAT IS A SALT THERAPY?
Halotherapy, or dry salt therapy, is a holistic wellness treatment that simulates the natural microclimate of a salt cave. This innovative therapy involves inhaling tiny salt particles that penetrate deep into the respiratory system, reaching even the smallest airways like the alveoli and bronchioles. As these dry salt molecules dissolve, they attract and eliminate impurities, earning halotherapy its nickname as the "toothbrush of the lungs."
Salt therapy is beneficial for those suffering from inflammatory respiratory conditions, including asthma, bronchitis, and allergies. By clearing bacteria and reducing inflammation, halotherapy helps restore respiratory health and strengthen immunity. It provides a natural, non-invasive way to support lung function, improve breathing, and promote overall wellness.
HOW DOES SALT THERAPY WORK?
Salt therapy works by dispersing micro-sized salt particles (less than 3 microns) into an enclosed infrared sauna space. These tiny particles are released through a halogenerator, which is a specialized machine designed to crush the salt into fine particles. As you breathe in these salt particles, they create an antibacterial environment, drawing out excess moisture, mucus, and impurities from your airways and even your skin.

How does salt therapy work?
During a salt therapy session, a halogenerator disperses fine salt particles into a room or enclosure. These particles are inhaled and absorbed into the respiratory system and skin, where they work to cleanse, reduce inflammation, and draw out impurities. The therapy helps improve airflow in the lungs and enhances skin healing by absorbing excess moisture and toxins.
