How and Why Halotherapy Works

Dry salt is placed into a halogenerator that grinds the salt into specific micro-sized particles and then disperses the salt aerosol into the air in a closed small room.  As the salt travels in the salt room, these salt particles of dry sodium chloride are inhaled into the respiratory system.  The dry salt naturally starts absorbing allergens, toxins and foreign substances into your lungs and throughout your respiratory tract.  Dry salt may help to reduce inflammation and open airway passages.  The micro-sized crystal structure of pure NaCI particles breaks loose and clears out all of the "bad stuff".  This is the basis for how dry salt therapy can impact people suffering from respiratory conditions like allergies, asthma, bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, COPD and others.

The properties of dry salt absorb impurities and provide anti-bacterial properties that benefit the skin such as acne, psoriasis and eczema as well as regulates the skin's micro-circulation.  The smaller particles can reach beneath the skin's surface and absorb moisture towards the skin.  The larger salt particles land on the skin and absorb any bacterial and foreign substances.  The dry salt accelerates cell rejuvenation and improves skin rigidity.

What to Expect

You will be taken to your own private room for your Halotherapy session.  Most people go into the salt chamber fully clothed, however if you are going in for skin health, then you would want to make sure that area of your skin is exposed to the air.  On dark clothes you may notice a little salt on your clothes after, but it is easily removed.  You will then enter a small salt chamber and sit on the bench.  The salt chamber is small, which results in you only needing to be in the chamber for 10 minutes for a session.  While in the chamber you simply breath and relax while the salt does the work.    You may choose to read, watch Netflix on the provided television, listen to music, stretch, practice breathing exercises, or meditate while you are in the booth.  You can choose to go into the booth my yourself, or you can have up to 2 other people in the booth with you.  Everyone in the booth will need to pay separately, except for a parent accompanying a child.

ISN'T SALT BAD FOR YOU?

We often hear that eating too much salt is bad for your health and can raise blood pressure and potentially lead to heart issues.  Then why would halotherapy be good for you?  

During Halotherapy you do not eat or digest the salt.  Instead you are inhaling the salt, it then thins the mucus, and then exits the body.

FAQS

What do I wear into the Halotherapy Booth?

The salt air will not damage your clothes, but you may see some salt on your clothes that you can brush off.  So you can go into the booth fully clothed.  However if you are treating a skin condition make sure that area of skin is fully exposed to the salty air.  You will be in your own private booth.

How many people can be in the booth at one time?

The Halotherapy booth is in its own private room.  You can go in by yourself, or up to three people who know each other may choose to go in together.  For example a parent can go in with her child, or friends may choose to go in together.  Except for parents accompanying minors, every person will need to pay.  If three people choose to go in together, you would sitting very close to each other.

Can minors do Halotherapy?

Studies have shown that it is safe for both adults, and children of all ages including babies.  We do require parents/guardian to accompany children under the age of 13 into the booth.  Any parent/guardian accompanying a child into the booth will only pay for 1 person.

Are there any side effects?

Most people will have no side effects.  Some may experiences a tickle in their throat or it may be scratchy.  With sensitive skin, you may have a mild skin irritation, that typically goes away after 1-2 sessions.  A slight cough can be a sign that the salt is effectively working by loosening and releasing all the mucous buildup.

How long is the treatment per session?
