Salt Therapy, also called halotherapy, is a holistic method that recreates the microclimate of a salt cave. Dry salt aerosol is dispersed into a room 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. Please refer to our Benefits of Halotherapy sections for more information.
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 salt room. While sitting in the room for 45 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 with acne, eczema, psoriasis, and other conditions.
No, it is fine to continue your medications as you need and as directed by your doctor. Since salt therapy 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.
You will enter a room where the walls and floor are covered in layers of salt. In the adult suite, you will relax in comfortable recliners. The lights will dim, and you may choose to listen to relaxing music, read a book or magazine (reading lights will be available to you), meditate, or simply rest and relax. The temperature and humidity in the rooms are controlled to provide an optimal experience. You will find pure relaxation and tranquility away from your everyday stress, leaving you rejuvenated and fully energized. The children’s suite is designed to bring fun and enjoyment with toys, books, and puzzles while they receive their salt therapy. In either room, the adult or children’s suite, you will receive the same quality of therapy. All sessions are 45 minutes. You will notice a faint trace of salt on your lips after the session.
