Discover the Benefits of
Halotherapy
(Dry Active Salt Therapy)
Salt Therapy has been used across the world for centuries as a treatment for various ailments. Learn more below, then experience the relaxing and healing properties of salt therapy for yourself!
Halotherapy is a modern-day form of dry salt therapy, where special machines called halogenerators are used to create and disperse ultra-fine particles of medical grade salt into the treatment room, where they can be absorbed by the lungs and skin.
How Does it Work?
Halotherapy exposes the body to salt particles in a controlled environment. Salt particles have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal properties that can help with respiratory conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, and allergies. Halotherapy can also help with skin problems such as psoriasis, eczema, and acne. Halotherapy is 100% natural, safe for all ages, non-invasive and drug-free. After sessions, you may experience a slight cough or runny nose but this is simply the salt doing its work to remove any mucus and toxins from your lungs and airways.
Who Should Use Halotherapy?
Halotherapy is beneficial for everyone, including adults, children, and even pets! It’s a natural, safe therapy that the human body recognizes and adapts to easily.
You don’t need to have any specific conditions to reap the benefits of dry salt therapy. It promotes overall wellness by detoxifying the respiratory system. Every day, we encounter pollutants, airborne diseases, bacteria, allergens, and other harmful irritants. Halotherapy provides an excellent method to cleanse and detoxify the lungs, while also invigorating the entire body by increasing lung capacity and oxygen intake.

What to Expect During a Session
While you relax in the treatment room, a state-of-the-art machine called a halogenerator grinds medical grade salt into sub-micron particles that are then released into the treatment room. The dry salt particles are inhaled deeply into the lungs, relieving inflammation, loosening congestion, and opening airways – allowing for improved breathing. The treatment increases oxygen intake and cleanses the airways of smoke, dust, allergens, and other pollutants. The dry salt particles also land on and are absorbed by your skin, helping to relieve symptoms of sore, flakey, red and irritated skin.
How often should you do salt therapy?
The recommended frequency of salt therapy sessions largely depends on what you’re aiming to treat. If you’re dealing with chronic or acute respiratory issues, you might need more frequent and consistent sessions. While some people experience relief after just one session, salt therapy typically works best for chronic symptoms when you visit at least twice a week for 6-8 weeks.
After completing the initial recommended sessions, maintaining your treatments is key for ongoing wellness. For general respiratory health, a session once or twice a month can enhance lung capacity, boost your immune system, reduce stress, and improve sleep.
Symptom Relief
Try sessions multiple days in a short time frame to help alleviate coughs, colds, asthma, allergies, sinusitis, and some skin issues.
Chronic Condition Management
If you’re seeking significant improvement in a chronic respiratory or skin condition, we recommend multiple sessions per week.
Prevention
Use weekly sessions to strengthen your immune system, especially during peak seasons or in poor air quality environments.
Maintenance
Monthly visits can help keep your lungs and skin healthy. Make it a Salt Suite session for the ultimate in relaxation and stress relief!
The History of Salt Therapy
Salt therapy, also known as halotherapy, has a rich history dating back to ancient civilizations such as the Greeks and Egyptians, who recognized its healing properties. During the Middle Ages, European monks observed the restorative benefits of natural salt caves for those with respiratory ailments. The modern concept of halotherapy emerged in the 1800s when Dr. Feliks Boczkowski, a Polish physician, noted that salt miners had remarkably fewer respiratory issues. This led to the establishment of the first health resort at the Wieliczka Salt Mine in Poland in 1839.
Fast forward to today, halotherapy is a widely accepted wellness practice offered in spas and wellness centers globally. At Just Breathe Salt Spa + Sauna, we offer a state-of-the-art halotherapy experience.
