Salt Therapy

Dry salt therapy, also known as halotherapy, is a wellness
practice that uses microscopic particles of pure-grade sodium chloride (salt) in a controlled environment. During a session, these dry salt particles are dispersed into the air, allowing you to breathe them in and allowing the salt to come into contact with the skin.

How it works

Pure-grade sodium chloride (salt) is ground into microscopic, micronized particles. A specialized device called a halogenerator disperses these dry salt particles into the air as a fine salt aerosol.

As you relax, the microscopic salt particles are inhaled through the respiratory tract. The particles travel through the airways and into the lungs, while also settling on the skin. Salt's natural properties may help loosen mucus, reduce inflammation, and cleanse the respiratory passages.


Scientific research has investigated salt's anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and pathogen-removing properties. When microscopic salt particles are inhaled, they may provide the following effects:

  • Help reduce inflammation in the airways.
  • Help loosen and break up mucus, making it easier to expel.
  • Help clear bacteria and other unwanted particles from the respiratory tract.
  • Help remove airborne pollutants and allergens from the airways.
  • Allow the airways to open, potentially making breathing easier.
  • Come into contact with the skin, where salt may provide cleansing benefits effects on mood, stress, and energy.
