Halotherapy, also known as dry Salt Therapy, is a fast-growing, holistic approach that mimics the microclimate of a salt cave.
Clients breathe in the micro-sized salt particles, which are transported to every part of the respiratory tract, even the smallest alveoli, and bronchioles. Then, the dry salt molecules dissolve and attract small impurities... the reason why it is called the "toothbrush of the lungs."
Salt therapy may address the root of inflammatory respiratory illnesses in the lower and the upper tract like asthma, bronchitis as well as allergies, by destroying bacteria and restoring health and immunity.
Micro-sized salt particles are dispersed into an enclosed environment through a unique process generated by a machine called a halogenerator. These salt particles (80% less than 1 micron sized), while creating an antibacterial environment, draw out the excess moisture, the mucus and impurities that are in the airways and on the skin.
Regarded as conventional healthcare, salt therapy is covered by health insurance in many European countries and Israel. For clinical studies and more information stop by our office where we have a body of research studies available or ask us to email you a copy so you can read for yourself!
Halotherapy offers the best results when practiced regularly. The benefits are cumulative, so consistency and frequency are the key. People with chronic issues will benefit greatly if visiting salt rooms at least 3-4 times a week. Those who are looking to incorporate Salt Therapy into their regular wellness routine would benefit from a weekly session. Halotherapy has been used on a daily basis without any side effects.
There are typically no side effects other than potential thirst, mild dry or itchy throat, nasal drip, and increased coughing at the beginning. This is a natural part of the cleaning process of the respiratory system, during which the pollution, accumulated through a long time, and now loosened up by the salt, is expelled from even the deepest regions of the lungs. Such side effects should cease with the removal of pollution and pathogens. However, if someone is on any medications or suffers from any serious medical issue, please seek medical advice before any therapy.
