Halotherapy

Halotherapy (dry salt therapy) is a natural, drug-free treatment that may help improve respiratory issues and skin conditions. The process involves a halogenerator that crushes and grinds 99.99% Pure Grade Sodium Chloride (salt) into fine microparticles. These tiny salt particles are then dispersed into the air. As individuals breathe in the aerosolized salt, it penetrates deep into the lungs, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli to address respiratory concerns. Non-inhaled particles are absorbed by the body to help treat skin conditions. Salt therapy offers benefits for both respiratory health and skin, while the calming environment of the salt room also promotes 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
Halotherapy promotes better skin health by exposing individuals to salt-rich air, which can help exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin's surface. Inhaling salt particles during a halotherapy session may also assist in reducing skin inflammation and promoting a clearer complexion.

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?

Please wear comfortable clothing to your session. Keep in mind that your clothes may have a fine layer of salt after the session. Darker clothing tends to show the salt more, so plan accordingly.

If your main goal is to benefit your skin, please let our staff know. We can provide a towel upon request, and you are welcome to sit in the chamber with minimal or no clothing.

How long is a session?

A 10-minute halotherapy session provides a shorter exposure to the therapeutic benefits of salt therapy, which can be helpful if you're looking for a quick boost, relaxation, or relief from minor symptoms.

A 20-minute session offers a longer exposure, allowing for a more thorough experience. This can be beneficial for deeper relaxation or more significant respiratory or skin benefits, as the extended time allows the salt particles to have a more prolonged effect on your body.

Is it safe for children?

Halotherapy is considered safe for children and is often used to help with respiratory issues, such as asthma and allergies, as well as skin conditions like eczema. The salt particles in halotherapy can aid in clearing airways and reducing inflammation in both the lungs and skin.

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.
