Halotherapy, also known as salt therapy, is a natural, holistic treatment that involves

breathing in air infused with microsalt particles. It's inspired by the microclimate of

natural salt caves and mines and is often used to support respiratory and skin health.

Enjoy our Zero Gravity chairs or immerse yourself deeper into the salt floor with our

low stool options.

How It Works:

Halotherapy is typically done in a salt room or salt cave:

  • A halogenerator grinds pharmaceutical-grade salt into fine particles and disperses it into the air.

  • As you breathe, the salt particles travel through your airways and may help loosen mucus, reduce inflammation, and clear out allergens or toxins.

  • The salt also settles on the skin and is believed to help conditions like eczema or psoriasis.

Potential Benefits:

  • Relief from asthma, allergies, bronchitis, sinusitis, COPD

  • Reduced inflammation in airways, sinuses

  • Improved lung function and easier breathing

  • Cold, flu, bronchitis prevention and recovery

  • Immune system support

  • Optimized breathing for sports, singing, playing wind instruments

  • Offset influence of air and electronic pollution

  • Calming effects for anxiety and stress

  • Skin improvements for acne, eczema, psoriasis

Considerations:

  • Generally safe for most people, but not recommended for those with severe hypertension, certain heart conditions, or active infections without consulting a doctor.

  • Not a replacement for medical treatment but can be a complementary therapy.

FAQs

 

IT’S MY FIRST TIME. WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW? Arrive at least 15 minutes early to fill out our client intake form, receive a tour of the facility, put your belongings in our keyed lockers, and get settled in. Bring clean socks and a book if you’d like! Use of personal electronics is not permitted inside the salt room to include cell phones, laptops, cameras, etc.

 

HOW DOES IT WORK? We use what is called a Halogenerator in our salt room. The Halogenerator heats the salt prior to dispersing it into the room to ensure that all moisture is evaporated. When the microparticles are inhaled, the salt particles can penetrate deep into the lungs, bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli, which breaks down the toxins and clears the respiratory system. While inside the salt room, the salt particles that are not inhaled are absorbed by the body to combat skin conditions. Halotherapy is greatly beneficial for skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis and acne.

 

WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS? WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER SESSION? Most clients feel very relaxed after their session. You  may experience dry throat and increased coughing, runny nose or watery eyes in the beginning. You may feel a slight tickle in your throat during the treatment as well as experience some coughing. This is just the process of the salt breaking down the mucus and ridding the body of it. You may also notice the draining of sinuses during and after sessions.

 

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR AND BRING TO MY SESSION? ARE ELECTRONICS ALLOWED?

You can wear whatever you would like. The salt will not harm your clothes in any way. Something comfortable is recommended. If you are visiting for skin condition, wear something that exposes more of the targeted area. Wear clean socks or you can use our complementary disposable sandals. Bring a book or just simply lay back and relax as you listen to the overhead music and/or meditation session. Electronics are not permitted inside the salt room.

 

IS THERE A PLACE TO STORE MY VALUABLES? Yes, we have complimentary key lockers available for you to store your things.

 

AM I ALONE IN THE SALT ROOM? Our salt room can seat up to 4 adults in Zero Gravity chairs plus several low stools for further salt immersion. Your session may start at the same time as another client to fully utilize the salt room and chairs available.

 

IS HALOTHERAPY SAFE FOR CHILDREN? Therapy is perfect for all ages and advise infants to limit the sessions to 20 to 30 minutes. Presence of a guardian is required for children under 12 years.

 

DO I NEED TO STOP TAKING MY MEDICATIONS? No, it is fine to continue your medications as needed and as directed by your doctor. You may even see less need for them; but always speak to your doctor before changing any of your medical routines. 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 their symptoms are less frequent and severe.
