Salt Therapy

Salt Therapy, Offered at our wellness center, is beneficial for overall wellness because it helps remove toxicity from the respiratory system and boosts the immune system.

What is Salt Therapy?

Salt therapy, also known as halotherapy, is a natural and non-invasive treatment that involves inhaling microscopic particles of pharmaceutical-grade salt to improve respiratory and skin conditions. At the salt room in our wellness center, one wall is built entirely of Himalayan salt brick, however, this is more for aesthetics. Hidden in the wall is a machine called a halogenerator, which grinds up 99% pure sodium chloride (the same salt that hospitals use for saline solutions) and pushes it into the enclosed room. During a salt session, the air is saturated with a fine salt aerosol.

Better than a Nettie pot or nebulizer, these tiny salt particles penetrate deep into the respiratory tract, and act like a sponge in the system. Because salt is an absorbent molecule, it draws in things like pollen, bacteria, and irritants in our airways, and helps our bodies expel them.

Research has found that inhaled dry salt also has properties that may help to reduce inflammation in the entire respiratory tract and widen the airway passages. A clean respiratory system naturally results in higher oxygen intake, increased energy, and an improved immune system.


The Benefits of Salt Therapy

Salt therapy has gained popularity due to its numerous potential health benefits. Here are some of the advantages associated with this holistic service.


  • Respiratory Health Improvement

Salt therapy can provide relief for various respiratory conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, allergies, sinusitis, and cystic fibrosis. The tiny salt particles penetrate deep into the lungs, helping to reduce inflammation, loosen mucus, and improve breathing.

  • Skin Health Enhancement

Salt Therapy is also beneficial for skin ailments such as eczema, psoriasis, acne, and dry skin. The salt particles have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties that can help cleanse and rejuvenate the skin, reducing itchiness, redness, and inflammation.

  • Stress Reduction and Relaxation

Spending time in our salt room can have a calming effect on the nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing stress levels. The soothing atmosphere and negative ions released from the salt can help improve sleep quality and alleviate anxiety and depression symptoms.

  • Boosted Immune System

The mineral-rich salt aerosol in our salt room can strengthen the immune system, making it more resistant to infections, viruses, and bacteria. By stimulating the natural defense mechanisms of the body, salt therapy can help prevent frequent colds, flu, and other respiratory illnesses.

  • Allergy Relief

Salt Therapy can provide relief from seasonal allergies and hay fever symptoms. The salt particles help cleanse the respiratory system and reduce inflammation, making it easier for individuals to breathe during allergy seasons.
