Halotherapy

Halotherapy-Salt Spa Room

Halotherapy is a dry salt therapy that is provided in man-made environments, utilizing special equipment called a halogenerator that disperses a precise dry salt aerosol into the active Salt Room.

Active salt rooms include a halogenerator and are primarily based on providing a controlled way of providing micro-particles of salt in the air to be inhaled and exposed to the skin. This can be achieved only by a special piece of equipment known as a halogenerator. Pure sodium chloride is placed into the halogenerator, which then crushes and grinds the salt into micro-sized particles and disperses the salt aerosol into the air. This type of dry salt therapy is known as Halotherapy.

How it works

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

1. Salt is super absorbent     

2. Salt is anti-bacterial       

3. Salt is anti-inflammatory

​

Halotherapy utilizes a medical grade pure 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 an enclosed environment of our Salt Spa Room.

As the salt travels in the salt room, these salt particles of dry sodium chloride are inhaled into the respiratory system. The dry salt naturally starts absorbing allergens, toxins and foreign substances in 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 breaks loose and clears out all the ‘bad stuff’. This is the basis for how dry salt therapy can impact people suffering from respiratory conditions. The properties of dry salt also absorb impurities and provide anti-bacterial properties that benefit the skin 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 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.

Halotherapy Benefits for Respiratory and Skin Conditions

Lungs and Respiratory Hygiene:

Healthy lungs and a clean respiratory system are essential for vitality, energy and longevity.

An average adult takes about 12-15 breaths per minute and little children about 20-30 breaths per minute. The main function of the lungs is to deliver oxygen to our red blood cells and get rid of the CO2 from the body. In addition, our respiratory tract acts as a very important defense mechanism by filtering the air from pollutants and foreign substances, it regulates the pH level of blood by managing the levels of CO2, and it also helps control blood pressure by converting the chemical in the blood called angiotensin I into angiotensin II.

Why dry salt therapy for respiratory care:

People are exposed to pollutants, airborne diseases, bacteria, allergens and other irritating factors on a daily basis. Halotherapy is a method to cleanse and detox the lungs as well as invigorate the entire body with increased lung capacity and oxygen intake. Regular Halotherapy practice is an excellent way to aid breathing and improve your quality of life.

How dry salt improves the respiratory system:

Scientific research has found that inhaled dry salt particles have bactericide, mucokinetic, hydrophilic and anti-inflammatory properties, which may help to reduce inflammation in the entire respiratory tract and widen the airway passages. Dry salt particles are also known to accelerate the transportation of mucus, the elimination of residual tar and foreign allergens. A clean respiratory system naturally results in higher oxygen intake, increased energy and an improved immune system.

Dry salt is super absorbent and acts like a sponge attracting foreign substances along its path through the respiratory tract. The dry salt can be imagined act like a toothbrush that cleans through the respiratory system removing build-up of foreign elements that cause various respiratory ailments and conditions. Clean lungs are healthy lungs.

 What type of respiratory conditions might improve: 

A majority of people who include Halotherapy in their wellness routine may find relief from a variety of respiratory conditions such as:

​

Asthma | Allergies | Common Cold | Bronchitis | Cystic fibrosis |

COPD | Sinusitis | Ear infections | Smokers cough

Skin, Beauty and Anti-Aging: 

The function of the integumentary system. Our skin is a very complex and intelligent organ that has many important functions. It is the largest organ, and, like the respiratory system, it has a major role to protect and defend the body against bacteria, viruses and other microbes. It also excretes wastes, regulates temperature and prevents dehydration by controlling the level of perspiration. It houses sensory receptors that detect pain, sensation and pressure.

Why dry salt therapy for skin care:

Quality and aesthetic appearance of the skin has an important aspect of how we are viewed by others and can have a profound psycho-emotional impact on how we feel about ourselves. As we age, our skin is the first organ to show the impact of time and life. Dry salt therapy is an excellent solution to improve the overall quality and appearance of the skin. Regular Halotherapy can be the most important tool that aids the healthy aging process of the skin. The truth is that healthy and glowing skin is beautiful at any age.

How dry salt therapy improves the integumentary system:

Scientific research has confirmed that the micro-particles of salt have a beneficial influence on the integumentary system (skin protective layer) and hairs providing healing and cosmetic effects. This increases activity of skin cell ion channels and activates electrophysiological activity that determines the skin’s protective properties. The salt provides pH normalization and induces reparative and regenerative processes in derma, increases skin rigidity, stimulates growth and improves hair health. The dry salt impacts the skin microcirculation and assists cellular membrane activity used in dermatology and cosmetology and enhances their effectiveness.

What type of skin conditions might improve: 

Regular and consistent dry salt therapy may help people with the following various skin conditions:

Psoriasis | Itching | Eczema | Swelling & Inflammation | Dermatitis | Dry & Flaky Skin | Acne | Rashes | Rosacea | Skin Aging

Contraindications of Halotherapy:

Halotherapy is recognized as a safe and effective wellness practice for preventive and restorative health care. Dry salt therapy is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

Some side effects of Halotherapy can be a slight cough or runny nose, but this is simply the salt working to remove mucus and toxins from the lungs and airways. 

Halotherapy is not recommended for people with contagious diseases, fever, open wounds, cancer, severe hypertension, mental disorders and active tuberculosis. Pregnant women should consult with their doctor before using Halotherapy. Anyone with serious health concerns needs to seek proper medical advice and care.
