General Benefits of halotherapy

Fights Bacteria and Viruses Naturally

It helps fight off bacteria and viruses in the respiratory tract by clearing out harmful pathogens like mold, allergens, and bacteria.

Helps to Reduce Inflammation

With strong anti-inflammatory properties, it helps combat the root cause of many diseases and strengthens the body’s natural defenses.

Strengthens the Immune System

The salt’s antimicrobial properties help reinforce the immune system. It works by normalizing immune responses and supporting overall health.

Clears Mucus and Eases Breathing

It thins out excess mucus and helps clear airways while reducing airborne irritants like pollen, and calms immune system overreactions, making breathing easier.

Relax Muscles with Deep Breathing

Tense, then relax each muscle group while taking deep breaths to melt away stress. Start from the toes and move up, focusing on slow, controlled breathing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect to experience in a Breathe Salt Room?

Our spacious salt room offers dry salt therapy in a peaceful solo or group setting. Designed to mimic a therapeutic salt cave, it features salt-covered walls and floors that release negative ions, helping to balance the positive ions from electronic devices. This process stabilizes mood, reduces stress, and promotes healing. Each 60-minute session involves simply reclining and breathing in microparticles of salt while you relax, read, listen to music, sleep, or meditate.

What clothing should be worn in the salt room?

Comfortable clothing is recommended for the salt room. The salt room is ideal for respiratory conditions.

What are the side effects?

Dry salt therapy is completely natural and drug-free, with no negative side effects. After sessions, you may experience mild symptoms like a slight cough, chest tightness, or a runny nose as the salt clears mucus and toxins from your airways. Regular sessions, about two to three per week, are recommended, with follow-ups for chronic conditions. Most patients see significant improvement, with an estimated 75-98% efficacy. Many do 1-2 therapy courses per year, returning for occasional top-ups if they start feeling unwell.

Who can benefit from Salt Therapy?

Dry Salt Therapy is like a toothbrush for your lungs and skin—everyone can (and will) benefit by improving lung function, reducing hospital admissions, alleviating sneezing, coughing, and shortness of breath, clearing mucus and phlegm, increasing resistance to respiratory diseases, strengthening the immune system, and prolonging remission times.

Is salt therapy safe for children?

Yes. Dry Salt therapy is a completely drug-free treatment for children and adults. Children as young as 6 months have benefitted greatly and respond quickly and effectively to Halotherapy. Children are more prone to respiratory problems because they pick up more viruses and their lungs are not fully developed until about the age of 9. In addition, the environment is filled with pollutants which children have a harder time keeping at bay.

Is salt therapy safe for pregnant women?

Yes. Dry Salt therapy is a great choice for women who do not want to rely heavily on over-the-counter or prescribed medication for sinusitis, asthma, allergies, and other respiratory illnesses. Pregnant women who have come to BREATHE have experienced relief for their congestion and chronic respiratory problems. In addition, the ionized salt particles help boost their immune system.

How does it work for the Respiratory Tract and Lungs?

Dry Salt Therapy harnesses bactericide, mucokinetic, hydrophilic, and anti-inflammatory properties to cleanse and strengthen the respiratory system. Highly absorbent, dry salt attracts pollutants and allergens, helping to clear foreign particles that contribute to respiratory issues. The controlled dispersal of dry salt aerosol ensures a tailored and effective therapy for optimal respiratory health.

How does it work for the Skin?

Dry salt micro-particles benefit the skin by enhancing its protective layer, stimulating ion channels, and promoting healing. This process normalizes pH, boosts repair and regeneration, and improves microcirculation and cell activity. Negatively charged salt particles stimulate collagen production, aiding in skin rejuvenation, while absorbed negative ions strengthen the immune system, helping the body combat conditions like psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.
