Salt Therapy FAQs

Salt therapy uses micro-particles of pharmaceutical-grade salt that have been placed inside a machine called a halogenerator. The halogenerator grinds the pharmaceutical-grade salt into minuscule particles, which are then dispersed throughout the treatment room.

The salt clears congestion, aids blocked airways, increases the amount of oxygen intake and can rid the body of the harmful effects of dust and city pollution. Additionally, it’s great for issues stemming from smoking and other common allergens. The tiny particles of salt are also able to permeate the skin, which aids in restoring a person’s body to a less toxic state, as well as providing an effective reduction in inflammation throughout.

People from any age with any form of respiratory or skin ailments as well as those in good health can benefit from salt therapy even if you want to just have a relaxing treatment with positive effects on your well-being or strengthen your immune system salt therapy can help.

Salt is super absorbent and has 4 natural key elements. Salt is naturally anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, an antihistamine, and an anti-inflammatory.
