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.

The heart and soul that breathes success to a salt room, salt cave, or salt chamber concept starts with the halogenerator. A halogenerator is a special type of equipment that is used to provide safe and effective dry salt therapy. The primary therapeutic benefit of a room, cave, or chamber is derived from 99.99% pure grade sodium chloride being crushed, ground, and dispersed into the air in precise microscopic salt particle sizes and concentration levels from the halogenerator.

There are some salt rooms and salt caves that claim they offer halotherapy, but they do not have a halogenerator. If there is no halogenerator, there is no halotherapy. They may have salt as a décor feature on the walls and doors, however, the only way dry salt therapy can be provided is with dry salt being dispersed into the room, cave, or chamber. While some claim that heated Himalayan salt can be beneficial in an environment by releasing some negative ions to counterbalance Electric Magnetic Frequencies (EMFs) and positive ions, these types of rooms, caves, and chambers do not provide any benefits of halotherapy.

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

There are no harmful side effects of dry salt therapy. The treatment is completely natural. A slight cough or a runny nose is possible, and some people might experience a mild tickle in the throat or an increase in coughing due to excess mucus buildup, but this is simply an indication the salt therapy is working to remove mucus and toxins from the lungs and airways. Another effect may be a slight skin irritation for those with hypersensitive skin.

Dry salt therapy is completely safe. It is a 100% natural, drug-free, non-invasive wellness ritual with no side effects or potential health hazards. If an individual has any questions or concerns regarding any current medical or other condition, please consult with your healthcare professional.

For children, dry salt therapy is not only safe, but it is a highly recommended natural treatment. There are no harmful side effects. The treatment is suitable for children of any age (as young as one-month-old). Children, in fact, respond to the therapy even more quickly than do adults. During a dry salt therapy session, children play with toys, read books, and interact with other children.

Some people are concerned about the intake of salt because of issues relating to diet, high blood pressure, and hypertension. This type of salt intake is connected to the digestive tract. Dry salt therapy is different as it is associated with the respiratory system.

When inhaled, the amount of micro salt particles entering your respiratory system is extremely low, so it doesn’t present any risk to your health. It kills bacteria, reduces inflammation, and expands airways.

Not all salts are created equal. Only 99.99% pure grade sodium chloride (salt) is to be used with halogenerators, which are the machines that crush and grind the salt into microscopic particles and disperse into the salt room, salt cave, or salt chamber. All the clinical studies and research for halotherapy involve only using 99.99% pure grade sodium chloride. This salt comes from the earth and seas but goes through a process eliminating and removing all debris and contaminants. It is not processed with any additives or caking agents such as table salt. Other types of salts are often used as a décor element such as Himalayan salt, but only 99.99% pure grade sodium chloride is used in the halogenerator.
