Salt therapy, also known as halotherapy, is relatively new to the USA but has been utilized in Europe for hundreds of years to treat a variety of ailments. Halotherapy is an affordable and natural way to care for your mind, body, and soul.
Salt therapy treatments range from 10 to 45 minutes, during which you inhale dry salt particles dispersed by a halogenerator. Halogenerators can be found in many spas and wellness centers but smaller options, such as the SALT FX® home halogenerator, allow you to add a halogenerator to your home. Any particles that are not inhaled are absorbed by the skin and can help treat such issues as acne, eczema, and psoriasis.
Salt caves at day spas and wellness centers are becoming more popular in recent years, but fitting an appointment into your schedule may prove difficult.
Fortunately, at-home salt therapy is a convenient and cost-effective way to prioritize your respiratory health.
Take a look at the following signs to determine if you may benefit from having a halogenerator in your home.
#1 Respiratory Issues
Salt therapy may help to reduce inflammation in the respiratory tract and widen the airway passages. In this way, it provides relief for people suffering from a variety of respiratory conditions, including:
- COPD
- Asthma
- Allergies
- Cystic Fibrosis
- Sinusitis
- Bronchitis
The salt particles act like a sponge attracting foreign substances as they pass through your respiratory tract. By cleaning and detoxing your respiratory system, salt therapy may increase your oxygen intake and improve your immune system.
#2 Ear Infections
The ability of dry salt therapy to reduce edema in passages and cavities not immediately accessible to other means of treatment makes it the perfect solution for dealing with ear and sinus infections.
Salt particles are both anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory. As they penetrate the ear canal, the particles reduce the swelling of the tubes allowing the fluid to drain.
#3 Skin Conditions
Our skin plays a significant role in protecting and defending our bodies against viruses, bacteria, and other microbes. If you or someone in your home suffers from any of the following conditions, salt therapy might be right for your home:
- Psoriasis
- Dermatitis
- Rosacea
- Eczema
- Acne
The micron-sized particles of salt are absorbed by the skin’s protective layer, which improves the appearance and health of your skin.
#4 Sinus Headaches
The calming and detoxifying effects of halotherapy help support the nervous and lymphatic systems. Inhaling the salt particles during treatment may stimulate sinus drainage, reducing the pressure within the sinuses. By reducing this pressure, regular salt therapy treatment may lead to the relief of sinus-based headaches.
Halotherapy may also relieve a migraine if it’s caused by dehydration. If you suffer from chronic headaches that frequently disrupt your home and work life, you may want to consider an at-home salt therapy chamber.
#5 Anxiety
Sitting on the beach as the ocean breeze blows around you, is found to be relaxing by many. Most of us leave our anxiety behind when the beach day comes to an end. Since you may not be able to go to the beach as often as you want, you can try managing your anxiety with at-home salt therapy.
People have reported improvements in their mood, stress levels, and mental performance in as little as one session. Imagine the mental health benefits you’ll experience when you can pop into a salt therapy chamber a few times a week.
#6 Reduce Stress
Stress affects everyone at some point in their lives and can drastically affect our health if it’s not managed. Thankfully, halotherapy treatments may help reduce mental and physical stress. The act of breathing in the salt in a relaxing, quiet SALT Booth® works wonders to calm your mind and body.
Stress typically accompanies a busy schedule, which makes getting to the spa somewhat difficult. When the spa is in your home, you can feel pampered whenever you want. A salt therapy room is an oasis for you to relax and let the worries of the day melt away.
#7 Improve Sleep
Are you constantly plagued by a poor night’s sleep, and always waking up groggy in the morning? By addressing breathing issues that are known to disrupt sleep (i.e. anxiety, asthma), salt therapy may help you sleep better.
Halotherapy has been shown to relieve symptoms related to snoring and sleep apnea. Some people who have tried salt therapy have felt that after just one session they’ve become more relaxed and at ease allowing them to sleep through the night.
#8 Athletic Recovery
Athletes push their bodies to the limit to reach personal goals, get the perfect physique, or simply just to break their records. They also know that muscle recovery is an important part of fitness.
If you’re an athlete and want to treat your body well, salt therapy may be just the thing to improve your athletic performance. Spending 10 to 45 minutes per day in a salt room or SALT Booth® may aid in increased oxygen capacity, improved blood circulation, and boost your stamina.
#9 Pet Health
People love their pets. In many cases, they’re another member of the family, which means your pet’s health is just as important as yours.
When your pet is struggling with congestion or other breathing-related issues, salt therapy may help clear it up so they can breathe easier. Salt therapy for pets is often recommended by veterinarians.
