The Benefits and Science Behind HaloSauna Therapy

What is Halotherapy?

Halotherapy, or dry salt therapy, is a rapidly expanding holistic method that replicates the environment of a salt cave. Participants inhale tiny salt particles, which quickly reach all areas of the respiratory system, including the smallest alveoli and bronchioles. These dry salt molecules then dissolve and draw out small impurities, earning it the nickname "toothbrush of the lungs." Salt therapy can address the underlying causes of inflammatory respiratory conditions in both the lower and upper tracts, such as asthma, bronchitis, and allergies, by eliminating bacteria and enhancing health and immunity.

How does it work?

Tiny salt particles are distributed into an enclosed booth through a specialized method created by a halogenerator. These particles, which are smaller than 3 microns, form an antibacterial environment and help remove excess moisture, mucus, and impurities from the airways and skin.

The science behind salt therapy

Regarded as conventional healthcare, salt therapy is covered by health insurance in many European countries and Israel. For clinical studies and more information, visit HaloTherapy's Research page or the Global Wellness Institute and the World Halotherapy Association.

How many sessions are necessary?

Halotherapy is most effective when done consistently. The advantages build over time, making regularity and frequency essential. Individuals with chronic conditions can experience significant improvements by attending salt rooms 3-4 times weekly. Those seeking to make Salt Therapy a part of their wellness routine should consider weekly sessions. Halotherapy can even be practiced daily without any adverse effects. 

Contradictions, side effects

Generally, the only side effect is possible thirst. Nonetheless, if an individual is taking medications or has a significant medical condition, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional before starting any therapy.
