What is Halo (Salt) Therapy?

Halotherapy is a DRY SALT THERAPY that is provided in man-made environments, utilizing special equipment called a halogenerator that disperses a precise dry salt aerosol into the salt room or chamber. Without a halogenerator, there is NO Halotherapy. It is completely holistic, natural, and safe without any harmful side effects.

 

Users will notice a wide range of benefits, unique to their body's needs.

 

*Respiratory Conditions

Healthy lungs and a clean respiratory system are essential for vitality, energy and longevity. People are exposed to pollutants, airborne diseases, bacteria, allergens and other irritating factors on a daily basis. Halotherapy is the only known method to cleanse and detox the lungs as well as invigorate the entire body with increased lung capacity and oxygen intake. Regular Halotherapy practice is an excellent way to aide breathing and improve your quality of life. Scientific research has found that inhaled dry salt particles have bactericide, mucokinetic, hydrophilic and anti-inflammatory properties, which may help to reduce inflammation in the entire respiratory tract and widen the airway passages. Dry salt particles are also known to accelerate the transportation of mucus, the elimination of residual tar and foreign allergens. A clean respiratory system naturally results in higher oxygen intake, increased energy and an improved immune system.

Dry salt is super absorbent and acts like a sponge attracting foreign substances along its path through the respiratory tract. The dry salt can be imagined to behave like a toothbrush that cleans through the respiratory system removing build-up of foreign elements that cause various respiratory ailments and conditions. Clean lungs are healthy lungs. 

A majority of people who include Halotherapy in their wellness routine may find relief from a variety of respiratory conditions such as:

  • Asthma

  • Allergies

  • Common cold

  • Bronchitis

  • COPD

  • Cystic fibrosis

  • Sinusitis

  • Ear infections

  • Smokers cough

 

General Wellness

Benefits may include an improvement in athletic performance, better quality of sleep, a boost of the immune system, and an improvement of arthritis. The salt can even be a jump start in the healing process for the common cold, influenza, sinusitis, digestive disorders, and even Lyme Disease.

Relaxation

Let’s be honest...How often do you lounge in complete relaxation for 45 minutes at a time with no interruption?  Stress and anxiety are released through the meditation that comes naturally for many during a session, resulting in an increase in overall health, well-being, and happiness. The light pink/orange hue given off by the blacklighting in the room of pure Himalayan salt creates chromotherapy (light therapy) that can also greatly reduce anxiety and stress naturally.

*Skin Conditions

Our skin is a very complex and intelligent organ that has many important functions. It is the largest organ and, like the respiratory system, it has a major role to protect and defend the body against bacteria, viruses and other microbes. It also excretes wastes, regulates temperature and prevents dehydration by controlling the level of perspiration. It houses sensory receptors that detect pain, sensation and pressure.

Quality and aesthetic appearance of the skin has an important aspect of how we are viewed by others and can have a profound psycho-emotional impact on how we feel about ourselves. As we age, our skin is the first organ to show the impact of time and life. Dry salt therapy is an excellent solution to improve the overall quality and appearance of the skin. Regular Halotherapy can be the most important tool that aids the healthy aging process of the skin.

The truth is that healthy and glowing skin is beautiful at any age.

Scientific research has confirmed that the micro-particles of salt have a beneficial influence to the integument system (skin protective layer) and hairs providing healing and cosmetic effects. This increases activity of skin cell ion channels and activates electrophysiological activity that determines the skin’s protective properties. The salt provides pH normalization and induces reparative and regenerative processes in derma, increases skin rigidity, stimulates growth and improves hair health. The dry salt impacts the skin microcirculation and assists cellular membrane activity used in dermatology and cosmetology and enhances their effectiveness.

Regular and consistent dry salt therapy may help people with the following various skin conditions:

  • Psoriasis

  • Itching

  • Eczema

  • Swelling & Inflammation

  • Dermatitis

  • Dry & Flaky Skin

  • Acne

  • Rashes

  • Rosacea

  • Skin Aging
