WHAT IS HALOTHERAPY?

WHAT IS HALOTHERAPY? by: Leslie Dahn

Halotherapy (dry salt therapy) is where pharmaceutical-grade salt is ground and crushed into tiny microparticles. These dry aerosol microparticles are then infused into the air of the salt cave.

THE BENEFITS OF SALT THERAPY

Halotherapy is a holistic therapy, which is safe, and there are no side effects. Many people who visit our salt cave on a regular basis report finding relief from a variety of respiratory conditions such as asthma, allergies, common cold, bronchitis, COPD, and cystic fibrosis. Dry salt therapy is very comforting to people who may have skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. The dry salt is anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-fungal, and helps with wound healing.

We find that clients who do not suffer from any of the above-mentioned conditions find salt therapy very helpful for general wellness, as our lungs are so overwhelmed with a daily barrage of pollutants, bacteria, and allergens.

Allergies and Asthma

Because the salt particles reduce inflammation, the nasal passage is thinned, allowing for improved drainage, opening the airways, and bringing relief to symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, watery eyes, and runny nose.

Sinusitis

When suffering from sinusitis, the nasal passages are inflamed and swollen. The salt particles open the passages, reduce infection, and reduce inflammation. This helps reduce the use of antibiotics for chronic sufferers of ear and sinus infections.

Skin Issues

The salt particles help to reduce inflammation found in many skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and acne. The salt is also anti-bacterial and anti-fungal so it cleanses the skin, allowing for more efficient healing.

Detoxing

The dry salt is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. These properties of salt help to release the toxic load in the body, allowing the body to release that which no longer serves it, and allowing the body to bring itself back in balance.

Mental Wellness/Stress

Many of our clients love the fact that they can relax, breathe, and totally unplug from their daily stresses by visiting the salt cave. This helps to reduce stress and anxiety.

Sleep

Our clients often mention how well they slept at night following their salt cave session. Several folks who suffer from insomnia have reported that they slept well for even a few days after their salt session.
