Experience Salt Therapy from the Comfort of Your Home

According to the Salt Therapy Association, “Halotherapy is a Dry Salt Therapy that utilizes a halogenerator to grind and crush 99.99% Pure Grade Sodium Chloride (salt) into micronized particles that are dispersed into a salt room, salt cave, or salt chamber via a dry salt aerosol that works to aid respiratory concerns and skin conditions.”

For more information, please visit the Research Articles page of the Salt Therapy Association website.

Dry pharmaceutical grade salt is heated and then it is ground and crushed into very tiny microparticles in a machine called a halogenerator. These dry aerosol microparticles of salt are then dispersed into the SALT Booth®, salt room, or salt cave during a typical session. As the person relaxes, the microparticles are inhaled. The particles penetrate deep into the lungs, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli. Bacteria and pollutants are dissolved as salt enters the lungs and respiratory system by eliminating mucous and opening constricted airways.

According to the Salt Therapy Association, salt therapy is safe*.  It is a 100% drug-free, non-invasive, comfortable treatment. The only people who should avoid salt therapy are those with severe chronic respiratory issues and those with open wounds and sores. It is advisable that people going into a salt chamber remove all personal jewelry, glasses and other belongings since salt can be corrosive to exposed metal.

*Some people are concerned about the intake of salt because of issues relating to diet, high blood pressure, and hypertension. This type of salt intake is connected to the digestive tract.  Dry salt therapy is different since it associated with the respiratory system. When inhaled, the amount of micro salt particles entering the respiratory system is extremely low, so it doesn’t present any risk to your health. It actually kills bacteria, reduces inflammation, and expands airways.

Salt rooms are designed to provide dry salt therapy in a man-made environment that can vary by size, design, and function.  A salt cave is a type of style and décor of a salt room that often resembles a cave-like environment.

There are basically two types of salt rooms—passive and active.

Passive salt rooms provide an environment using various salt elements and décor, along with the right temperature, humidity, and climate conditions. This is done to mimic the look and feel of salt caves and mines, which can provide a therapeutic effect known as Speleotherapy.   These facilities often do not utilize any equipment (halogenerator) to disperse salt into the air.

Active salt rooms provide a much more effective salt therapy environment utilizing a halogenerator to grind salt into micron-sized particles that are then dispersed into the air.  The décor and style of the room can vary from a simple children’s theme to a more spa-like environment and from a more clinical look to an elaborate cave-like room.

Most salt rooms are set-up to have several people at once sitting and relaxing in the room at a time.  Sessions are typically scheduled and start at specific times for approximately 45 minutes.

According to the Salt Therapy Association, there is substantial research that has been conducted in many places including hospitals, clinics, research laboratories, and medical centers around the world. Most notably, the majority of research has been conducted where salt therapy has been utilized and where the products are developed, such as Estonia, Russia, Finland, Hungary, Romania, Germany, Austria, and Poland. Today, there are current studies occurring in the United States, as well as other places, to further validate the science behind this type of therapy.
