Halotherapy
What is it?
Dry Salt Therapy, also known as Halotherapy is a form of respiratory therapy that utilizes a machine called a Halogenerator to grind and crush 99.99% Pure Grade Sodium Chloride (salt) into micronized particles that are then dispersed into a salt room, salt cave, or salt chamber. This is done via a dry salt aerosol, and works to aid respiratory concerns and skin conditions. If there is no Halogenerator, there is no Halotherapy!
There are 3 fundamentals to dry salt therapy:
​
1. Super Absorbent - Dry salt acts like a sponge attracting foreign substances along it's path through the respiratory tract. The dry salt behaves like a toothbrush that cleans the respiratory system, removing the build-up of foreign elements that cause various respiratory ailments and conditions.
​
2. Anti-Inflamatory- Inhaled dry salt particles may help to reduced inflammation in the entire respiratory tract and widen airway passages. A clean respiratory system naturally results in higher oxygen intake, increased energy, and an improved immune system.
​
3. Anti-Bacterial- The dry salt particles act as an anti-bacterial agent, dissolving bacteria and pollutants lodged in the respiratory tract. These are then either coughed up or naturally expelled by the body.
How can Halotherapy benefit you?
It can ease respiratory conditions such as asthma, allergies, and smoking related symptoms. As well, Halotherapy helps treat skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and acne, as well as assist with diminishing the symptoms of anxiety and depression.
