What Is
Halotherapy?
Practiced for centuries, halotherapy is a natural therapy and approach to health that mimics the microclimate of a salt cave, that involves inhaling salt-infused air to address a variety of respiratory, skin, and other conditions. During a session, you’ll relax in a specially designed glass salt booth, where medical-grade micronized salt particles are dispersed into the air. As you breathe in the salt particles, they work their magic, helping to cleanse your airways and rejuvenate your skin. This holistic approach to wellness provides a non-invasive, drug-free solution to enhance overall well-being and promote a healthier, more relaxed you.

Athletic Performance
Halotherapy in sports training optimizes better lung function and improves overall performance, endurance, and recovery by dissipating mucus from the airways, removing airflow obstruction, enhancing lung capacity, leading to increased levels of oxygen and red blood cells, positively affecting endurance and performance.
Stress, Anxiety, and Fatigue
The negative charge and high surface energy of dry salt particles penetrate internal airways more deeply, bonding with positive ions and calming & relaxing inner muscles as the nervous system re-balances itself, while externally charged particles coat the skin, reducing chronic hypersensitivity caused by environmental stresses & encouraging cellular regeneration, resulting in a calm and relaxed you.
Sinus Infections and Sinusitis
Halotherapy’s deep penetrating dry salt particles provide relief of edema from swollen tissues and widen passages, improving drainage, increasing aeration behind the lymphatic membrane, and reducing infection in the pockets where bacteria often build due to the collected fluid.
Coughs, Colds, and Flu
Halotherapy has an immediate effect on the symptoms of colds & flu. Breathing becomes easier as inhaled salt aerosol naturally absorbs edema from swollen air passages, thinning mucus secretions and making drainage easier. Halotherapy allows the salt aerosol to be taken deep into cavities, bringing the antibacterial & anti-inflammatory action to the root of the problem. Relief from irritation of sticky mucus secretions and debris and the antispasmodic effect from calming negative ions calms & quiets coughs.
Sleeping and Snoring Problems
Snoring & sleep apnea caused by obstructed air passages is relieved by salt particles' antiemetic and anti-inflammatory properties. Air passages are opened and widened, and spasms of inflamed, irritated tissue & smooth muscles are modulated so restful sleep can be achieved.
Ear Infections
During Halotherapy, aerosolized particles penetrate deep into the internal passages of the ear, reducing inflammation, edema, and bacteria in the Eustachian tubes.
Asthma
Halotherapy demonstrates dramatic positive effects on asthma symptoms. Studies show reduced bronchial obstruction, better airway drain function, and improved bronchial secretions viscosity. The number and intensity of attacks were reduced, and respiratory discomfort decreased or disappeared.
Allergies
Inflammation is reduced by the natural properties of inhaled salt particles, such as thinning bronchial and nasal secretion. Improved drainage reduces contaminants that may trigger or prolong allergic episodes. Salt’s ability to absorb edema from swollen mucosa linings in the sinuses and respiratory tract opens airways to quickly relieve symptoms.
Psoriasis, Eczema, and Acne
Dry salt particles increase the activity of skin ion channels, stimulating cell growth & regeneration, balancing skin pH & auto flora, and reducing harmful bacteria/inflammation. Studies show decreased itching, resolved scaling, drying, and healing of small fissures, scratches, and exudative symptoms.
COPD, Emphysema, and Bronchitis
Dry salt therapy works to cleanse the respiratory system, speed up the elimination of toxins, reduce inflammation, and thin bronchial & nasal secretions. The micro-particles of salt reach the lower respiratory system, working as a “bronchial toothbrush” for the airways.
Children and seniors
Safe for children as young as 6 weeks old, and highly recommended, as they tend to respond to therapy quicker than adults. Additionally, clean lungs bring more oxygen into the body for Seniors, provide more energy, eliminate toxins, impact every organ of the body, and improve well-being.
Cystic Fibrosis
Studies show revolutionary results on cystic fibrosis patients. The hydrophilic & microkinetic action of inhaled salt particles thins unnaturally thick & sticky mucus, clearing accumulated secretions and unclogging passages in the bronchi & bronchiole while absorbing edema from the mucosa lining of the airways and reducing inflammation in the respiratory tract and sinuses.
