SALT THERAPY

Dry salt therapy (halotherapy) occurs when 99.99% pure-grade sodium chloride (salt) is heated and then ground and crushed into very tiny microparticles. These dry aerosol microparticles of salt are then dispersed into the salt room, salt cave, or salt chamber during a typical session.

As an individual relaxes, the microparticles are inhaled. The particles penetrate deep into the lungs, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli to aid respiratory concerns, while the non-inhaled salt particles are absorbed by the body to combat skin conditions.

Halotherapy benefits adults and children alike, as well as athletes and animals. It is natural and safe and there are no side effects. Many people who undergo halotherapy as a complementary treatment on a regular basis may find relief from a variety of respiratory conditions, such as:

• Asthma
• Chronic Bronchitis
• Coughs, Colds & Flu
• Emphysema
• COPD
• Cystic Fibrosis
• Allergies/Hay Fever
• Ear Infections
• Sinus Infections/Sinusitis
• Snoring & Sleeping Problems

Dry Salt Therapy is also extremely beneficial to your skin in treating:

• Acne
• Psoriasis
• Eczema

Saltt Therapy Frequently Asked Questions

What is salt therapy?

According to the Salt Therapy Association, “Halotherapy is a Dry Salt Therapy that utilizes a halogenerator to grind and crush 99.99% Pure Grade Sodium Chloride (salt) into micronized particles that are dispersed into a salt room, salt cave, or salt chamber via a dry salt aerosol that works to aid respiratory concerns and skin conditions.”

What is a Halogenerator?

A halogenerator is a specific type of technological equipment that is used to create an effective modality of providing dry salt therapy.  A halogenerator is the most important piece of equipment that providers of halotherapy utilize in transforming a chamber into a salt room.

How Does a Halogenerator work?

• It has a feeding mechanism where you place salt crystals that then release the salt into a grinder.

• The grinder is typically made of a blade and cutting mechanism that can precisely crush, grind, and cut the salt crystals into precise microparticles.

• These particles are then dispersed by a blower/fan mechanism that pushes the salt particles into the salt chamber room.

How does salt therapy work?

Dry pharmaceutical grade salt is heated and then it is ground and crushed into very tiny microparticles in a machine called a halogenerator. These dry aerosol microparticles of salt are then dispersed into the SALT Booth®, salt room, or salt cave during a typical session. As the person relaxes, the microparticles are inhaled. The particles penetrate deep into the lungs, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli. Bacteria and pollutants are dissolved as salt enters the lungs and respiratory system by eliminating mucous and opening constricted airways.

Is salt therapy safe for children? 

Yes, salt therapy is safe for children. It is a highly recommended natural treatment. There are no potentially harmful side effects. The treatment is suitable for children of any age (as young as 1-month-old). Interestingly, children respond to the therapy more quickly than do adults.

During a salt therapy session, children can play with toys, read books and interact with other children.

Are there any side effects? 

With regard to salt therapy, side effects are infrequent. Some people might experience a mild tickle in the throat or an increase in coughing due to an excess mucus buildup. This is an indication the therapy is working. Other effects might be a slight skin irritation for those with hypersensitive skin.

Who benefits from halotherapy treatments?

• Allergies

• Emphysema

• Asthma

• Psoriasis

• Bronchitis

• Pneumonia

• Bronchial Infections

• Rhinitis

• Chronic ENT illnesses

• Sinus Infections

• Cold/Flu

What kind of salts are used in a salt room?

All salts are not created equal! There are a variety of types of salts being used in salt rooms including Dead Sea, Mediterranean, Himalayan, Regular Sea Salt, different blends, and pharmaceutical grade salt. Salt is used as décor and salt is used in halogenerators.

Dead sea salt, Mediterranean salts, salt blends, etc… often have trace elements and various mineral content. Depending on the region where the salt is cultivated, there could also be some moisture, clay, and dirt particles that when crushed and ground, could harm the components inside the halogenerator. Likewise, people who have certain respiratory issues could have some adverse effect or reactions to some salts.

All of the validated clinical studies and scientific research for halotherapy involve using pharmaceutical grade salt in the halogenerator. Therefore, S.A.L.T. Chamber, Inc. highly recommends only using pharmaceutical salt for our halogenerators.

The salt on walls and floors do not inherently provide any therapeutic value, except that Himalayan salt in its natural form as bricks or panels, does provide some electrolyzed ions that add to the therapeutic benefit of the treatments.
