Halotherapy

Halotherapy (dry salt therapy) is a natural, drug-free, alternative treatment that may help to improve respiratory issues and skin conditions.The key process involves a halogenerator crushing and grinding 99.99% Pure Grade Sodium Chloride (salt) into very tiny microparticles. The halogenerator, or halotherapy machine, then disperses these dry aerosol microparticles of salt into the salt booth during a typical session.As an individual undergoes a salt therapy session, they inhale the microparticles. The particles penetrate deep into the lungs, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli to address respiratory concerns.At the same time, the non-inhaled salt particles are absorbed by the body to combat skin conditions. Salt therapy can offer both respiratory (lungs and breathing) and cutaneous (skin-related) benefits. Additionally, the relaxing, calm environment offered by salt room therapy can help with stress reduction.

Benefits of Halotherapy

Mucoactive
Halotherapy offers mucoactive benefits by exposing individuals to a salt-rich environment, which can help break down and loosen mucus in the respiratory passages. The fine salt particles inhaled during a halotherapy session can assist in clearing airway congestion and promoting easier breathing.
Antibacterial
Halotherapy offers antibacterial benefits through the exposure to salt-rich air, which has natural antibacterial properties. Inhaling salt particles during a halotherapy session may help combat harmful bacteria in the respiratory system and on the skin's surface.
Anti-inflammatory
Halotherapy exhibits anti-inflammatory properties by exposing individuals to a salt-rich environment that can help reduce inflammation in the respiratory system.
Immunity Boost
Halotherapy can boost immunity by creating a salt-rich environment that may help strengthen the body's defenses. Inhaling microscopic salt particles during a halotherapy session can stimulate the respiratory system and potentially enhance immune responses.
Allergy Relief
Halotherapy provides relief from allergies by creating an environment rich in salt particles that can help reduce inflammation and irritation in the respiratory system.
Improved Skin

FAQs

What kind of salt is used?

Pharmaceutical grade sodium chloride (NaCl) so there are no additives, caking agents or Iodine.

Will I be covered in salt when I'm done?

Normal, comfortable clothing is perfect. Whatever allows you to breathe easily, if you want to keep most of your clothes on and are more concerned about your skin, be sure to wear clothing that leaves the areas of concern open to the air. The salt cannot help what it cannot reach.

How long is a session

Is it safe for children?

Is it safe if I am pregnant?

There have not been any known adverse health effects from using halotherapy while pregnant. However, The Luminary always recommends you to discuss your questions and concerns regarding halotherapy with your physician prior to use.
