Halotherapy

What is Halotherapy?

Halotherapy, also known as dry salt therapy, is considered an alternative natural treatment for respiratory and skin conditions. Salt is known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. As you breathe, the salt travels deep into the respiratory system, helping to cleanse airways, reduce inflammation, loosen mucus, and allows you to breathe again without complications.

How does it work?

At Breathe Salt Therapy we provide active Halotherapy sessions, with a machine called a Halo Generator. A Halo Generator uses medical grade sodium chloride (salt), crushes it into micro-sized particles and disperses it into the air. Breathing in these tiny particles provides respiratory benefits by:

Reducing inflammation in the airways
Absorbing and reducing bacteria from the salts antibacterial properties
Promotes adequate airflow by breaking up mucus
Absorbs irritants and allergens in the airways
Relieves discomforts such as headaches, facial tension, and runny nose

Halotherapy is beneficial for respiratory conditions such as:

Common cold, cough, and flu
Pneumonia
Bronchitis
Sinus infections / sinusitis
Asthma
Respiratory allergies
Lung infections
Cystic fibrosis
COPD and emphysema
Smoking related breathing problems
Ear infections
Snoring and sleeping problems

Halotherapy can also be used to alleviate breathing problems caused by COVID-19, improving your breathing and the amount of oxygen in your blood. (According to WebMD)

Halotherapy is beneficial for skin conditions such as:

Eczema
Psoriasis
Dermatitis
Acne (mild to moderate)
Rosacea
Dry, itchy skin (allergies)
Signs of aging

When using Halotherapy for skin conditions we suggest having problem areas exposed during the service, as the tiny salt particles hit your skin they help repair skin cells, fight off bacteria, and protect against aging.

What to expect

During your 45 minute Halotherapy session, sit back and relax in a serene, salt-infused environment with calming meditation music and let the salt get to work by breathing in micro-sized salt particles dispersed into the air.

Our Halotherapy room allows up to 6 guests at a time, making it perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or simply spending quality time with friends and family in a calming environment.

Halotherapy for kids

Halotherapy is safe and effective for any age as young as one month old and up. Children, in fact, respond to salt therapy even more quickly than adults do. Halotherapy for children (and adults) can significantly help to:

Reduce the need for inhalers and antibiotics
Make breathing easier after just a few sessions
Improve lung function
Alleviate sneezing, coughing, and shortness of breath
Clear mucus and sticky phlegm from the lungs
Increase resistance to respiratory tract diseases
Strengthen the immune system
Improve sleep patterns
Improve general health and wellness

Children’s salt room guidelines:

To ensure a relaxing and safe experience for all guests, we kindly ask the children and guardians follow these guidelines:

No throwing salt— Please keep the salt on the floor where it belongs to prevent damage to the walls and equipment.
Do not touch the generator or tubing— These are essential pieces of equipment and should only be handled by staff.
Use spa voices— Keep voices low and calm to maintain a peaceful environment for everyone.
Be mindful with toys— Toys are provided, please use them respectfully and return them after use.
Leave the space tidy— Help us keep the salt room clean and ready for the next guests.

How often should I do Halotherapy?

There are no limitations to our Halotherapy service, benefits may vary from person to person. You’re welcome to use this service as often or as little as you would like.

What do I wear?

We do not require any special attire for Halotherapy, but be prepared to get salty! Comfortable and light colored clothing is suggested as you may leave with a little salt residue, but it does wipe right off. Socks are optional.

Are there risks to Halotherapy?

There are no known risks to Halotherapy, if you’re experiencing complicated health issues we recommend discussing with a medical professional before trying any natural modality.

Our primary focus and goal is to have each one of our guests and staff members feeling safe and healthy. If you have any open infections or contagious conditions please reschedule your appointment.
