Halotherapy

Halotherapy, also known as Dry Salt Therapy, is a non-invasive, drug free, chemical free, 100% natural solution used to ease breathing discomfort related to respiratory conditions, sinusitis,  allergies, and promotes healthy skin curbing symptoms related to epidermal and dermatological complications. There are no known side effects to Halotherapy, it simply provides relief, comfort and healing for both adults and children. 

• Asthma in both children and adults: Salt acts as a natural anti-inflammatory, widening airways, absorbing edema (excess fluid trapped in the body’s tissues), reducing bronchospasm by humidifying and fluidizing bronchial secretions.

• Ear infections, Acute Otitis Media (AOM): Aerosolized salt particles reduce swelling caused by fluid in the eustachian tube, widen airways, and promote better drainage aeration behind the eardrum. Salt therapy also relieves cold symptoms often linked to infections, reducing nasal congestion by opening passages.

• Allergies (particularly Rhinitis or Hay Fever): Various airborne allergies can be treated drug free, with long lasting results. Salt therapy widens the airways of the respiratory tract as micro particles of salt destroy bacteria throughout your sinuses and respiratory system, reducing inflammation in both areas, clearing blockages in the bronchi, bronchioles and sinus cavities, and cleansing your system of airborne pathogens (tar, dust, pollen and smoke) which trigger Rhinitis.

• Acute or Chronic Bronchitis (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Salt therapy  improves your lung function by clearing them of accumulated mucous, making it easier for you to breathe. When mucus is removed, your respiratory tract will widen and clear, eventually putting an end to chronic coughing after large amounts of now mobilized mucous are expelled. **Please consult your physician if you are in stages 3 or 4 COPD prior to using halotherapy

• Cold and Flu Symptoms: Halotherapy opens nasal airways, kills bacteria, activates sinus drainage, and decongests your chest by accelerating the clearance of mucous. Coughing and sneezing eventually subside as a result.

• Cystic fibrosis: Salt therapy brings relief by opening up the respiratory tract, clearing accumulated mucous, and unclogging blockages in the bronchi and bronchioles. Microscopic salt particles also absorb edema from the mucosa lining in the airway passages, reducing inflammation in the respiratory tract.  Halotherapy also facilitates the drainage of sinusitis, promoting healing to one of the most common and debilitating symptoms of Cystic Fibrosis.

• Dermatitis (including Contact Dermatitis, Eczema, and Psoriasis): Salt booth treatments are a drug free way to find relief from skin irritation, itching and inflammation common to Dermatitis. Microscopic salt particles (ranging in size from 1 um to 5 microns) infused into the air, are absorbed by your skin, killing bacteria and fungi and acting as a natural anti-inflammatory.

• Emphysema: Salt particles absorb edema from the mucosa lining the airway passages, widening the area and reducing inflammation. This allows blockages in the bronchi and bronchioles to unclog and restore normal transportation of mucous, as well as clearing the respiratory tract from allergens like pollen and tobacco smoke. Halotherapy also destroys bacteria and germs.

• Sinusitis: Symptoms are eased by opening blockages to the sinus tract. Salt particles draw out fluid, accelerating mucous clearance and reducing edema of the nasal mucosa, which leads to widening of the airway passages in the nose and sinuses, facilitating sinus drainage. Salt therapy also reduces infection and kills bacteria. With regular treatment, Sinusitis sufferers can expect to significantly reduce their dependence on prescription drugs.

• Halotherapy can also be used to help treat breathing problems caused by COVID-19

Is Halotherapy Safe For Everyone?

Dry Salt Therapy is suitable for infants as young as one month old, and children in fact respond to the treatment even quicker than adults. Regular sessions provide a protection from the infections found typically circulating in the play ground at school and generally out in public places. In addition, regular Salt Therapy exposes us to negative ions which have been studied and shown to naturally calm us, by attaching to agitating positive ions in the air.  Calm, relaxed, healthy children are able to better focus in school and sleep better at night. 

Contraindications:

There are no known potentially harmful side effects or drug interactions however Halotherapy is NOT suitable for people with severe conditions such as the following and should consult a physician prior to adding Halotherapy to an existing treatment plan.

• 3rd or 4th Stage COPD
• Coughing blood/Tuberculosis  
• High blood pressure/hypertension in IIB Stage
• Chronic Kidney Disease
• Hyperthyroidism
• Claustraphobia

How Does Halotherapy Work?

Dry Salt when absorbed provides anti bacterial, anti inflammatory, anti viral and anti fungal properties. Microscopic salt particles when breathed in are able to get deep into the respiratory system. Once there the dry salt absorbs excess mucus, allergens, and foreign elements in the respiratory system opening up constricted airway and killing bacterial and viral infections. When pumped atmospherically it penetrates deep into the skin providing an anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory layer of protection while sinking into the pores for more individualized skin conditions. 

What Should I Do During My Session?

Sit back, relax and breathe. Its a good time to enjoy the calm and peacefulness of the booth. You can use this time to meditate, reflect and relax while breathing deeply and enjoying the comfort and healing benefits of the dry salt. 

Due to the salt particles in the air it is not recommended that you use or take mobile phones, tablets, laptops or other electronic devices into the booth. Use this session to unplug for just a few minutes! Using your electronic devices while in the booth is at your own risk, as fine salt particles may damage your devices. 

If accompanying your child we do recommend to bring a book or toy to help keep your child occupied. 

What Should I Wear & How Should I Prepare For My Session?

We recommend wearing loose comfortable clothing and avoid wearing jewelry. Very fine salt particles will land on your clothing during your session which can easily be brushed off at the end of your session. For the comfort of all clients using the booth please refrain from the use of perfumes, cologne, lotions and other scented products. 

No food or drink is permitted in the halo booth so please have a snack or drink prior to your session if needed.
