The negative ions in salt particles may help purify the air and increase lung capacity. Other potential effects of halotherapy include: Help reduce inflammation and lessen mucus production, making it easier to breathe. Potential relief for those suffering from asthma, allergies, chronic sinus congestion, and COPD.
According to the American Lung Association's chief medical officer, inhaled salt could perhaps thin mucus in the airway, making it easier to expel. Other ideas are that the salt reduces inflammation and kills microbes in the lungs, reducing the risk of infections.

There are a few key areas of weight loss that Himalayan salt can help with. Along with a balanced diet and exercise, Himalayan salt can help boost four main areas. Firstly, it will help boost your metabolism so that your body can burn calories more effectively. It can also help with food cravings.

Sessions usually last for about 15 to 20 minutes. A device called a halogenerator grinds salt into microscopic particles and releases them into the air of the room. Once inhaled, these salt particles are claimed to absorb irritants, including allergens and toxins, from the respiratory system.
Salt Therapy can help by making the expulsion of mucus easier, restricting the buildup of mucus thereafter, and reducing the bacteria in the mucus membrane, which causes Sinusitis in the first place. This also helps reduce the risk of secondary infections in the throat.
Benefits of Salt Therapy:
Overall Dry Salt Therapy Benefits:
Dry Salt Therapy, also known as Halotherapy, benefits adults and children alike as well as athletes and animals. It is natural and safe and there are no harmful side effects. Halotherapy is greatly beneficial for overall wellness by removing the toxicity from the respiratory system, improving the function and appearance of the skin, and boosting the immune system.
For general respiratory hygiene, once or twice a week visiting your local salt therapy facility will enhance the lung capacity, boost immune system, reduce stress, and aid better sleep.
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 daily. 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 aide 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 behaving 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. Start Halotherapy today!

Skin, Beauty and Anti-Aging
The function of the integumentary system
Our skin is an extraordinarily 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.
How dry salt therapy improves the integumentary system
Scientific research has confirmed that the micro-particles of salt have a beneficial influence on the integument 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
​
For skin conditions high concentration and aggressive administration of dry salt and consistency of the sessions are the key elements for successful results.
