How Salt Therapy Works

Salt Therapy/Halotherapy is being provided throughout Canada, Europe, Australia, United States etc. as a natural alternative and complimentary way of improving general wellness, respiratory issues, skin conditions, detoxification, athletic performance, emotional issues and much much more!

For your skin, the properties of dry salt also can absorb impurities and provide anti-bacterial properties that benefit the skin, such as acne, psoriasis and eczema, and regulates the skin's micro-circulation. The smaller particles can reach beneath the skin’s surface and absorb moisture towards the skin. The larger salt particles land on the skin and absorb any bacterial and foreign substances.

MORE DETAILED INFO:

Salt therapy/Active dry salt therapy or Halotherapy is simple to understand. There are three primary characteristics of pure sodium chloride, NaCl, known as salt:

1. Salt is super absorbent (especially when it is completely dry)
2. Salt is anti-bacterial
3. Salt is anti-inflammatory

This type of dry salt is placed into a Halogenerator that then precisely grinds the salt into specific micro-sized particles and then disperses the salt aerosol into the air in a closed environment such as a room or chamber.  As the salt travels in the salt room, these salt particles of dry sodium chloride are inhaled into the respiratory system. The dry salt can naturally start absorbing allergens, toxins and foreign substances out of your lungs and throughout your respiratory tract. Dry salt may help to reduce inflammation and open airway passages. The micro-sized crystal structure of pure NaCl particles can break loose and clear out all of the ‘bad stuff’. This is the basis for how dry salt therapy can impact people suffering from respiratory conditions like allergies, asthma, bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, COPD and others.  The properties of dry salt also can absorb impurities and provide anti-bacterial properties that benefit the skin such as acne, psoriasis and eczema as well as regulate the skin's micro-circulation. The smaller particles can reach beneath the skin’s surface and absorb moisture towards the skin. The larger salt particles land on the skin and can absorb any bacterial and foreign substances. The dry salt accelerates cell rejuvenation and improves skin rigidity. The climate conditions in a dry salt room therefore must maintain certain temperature and humidity levels and proper ventilation to ensure the efficacy of the salt therapy and provide a ‘clean-air’ environment for the consumer.
