Halo-Sauna

We are now offering halotherapy sessions during your infrared sauna!

Also known as Salt Therapy, Halotherapy is a holistic treatment that reproduces the natural microclimate of a salt cave by dispersing a high concentration of micro salt particles into the air.

Salt Therapy Benefits

The powerful healing properties of halotherapy are earning the attention of some of the world’s most advanced medical institutions and publications. Many believe that when people inhale this salty air, it can help stimulate their respiratory system, reduce inflammation, fight infection, clear blockages and reduce discomfort.

People around the world using halotherapy claim to be free of issues and illnesses like asthma, stress, depression, eczema, and sinus infections, all thanks to halotherapy.

As it is an alternative treatment, halotherapy medical research is not as prevalent, and salt therapy benefits are currently anecdotal and not scientific. That being said, salt is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, and can help with excessive mucus, pathogen agents, digestive issues, depression, skin conditions, and immune system oversensitivity. With all of these properties, it’s easy to see that incorporating salt therapy into your life can help remedy a range of health issues.

What are the Dangers of Salt Therapy?

While there are many health benefits of salt therapy, every user’s case is different. Salt therapy side effects are rare and are typically avoidable, but depending on your sensitivities to salt, you may experience some discomfort. Some reported side effects include temporarily constricted airways, headaches, minor tightness in the chest, and slight eye irritation. Typically, these “dangers” of salt therapy are hardly risks at all and can be avoided by ensuring the environment is controlled by managing the time spent and levels of salt in the atmosphere.

While one can breathe salt air for 24 hours without adverse effects, we recommend doing short sessions at a regular cadence to avoid side effects and create lasting results. Set a timer when practicing halotherapy at home or speak with a professional to determine the appropriate halotherapy session time for you if visiting a spa. If you have any major health concerns, consult your doctor before participating in any new treatments.
