FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON MASSAGE, SALT, INFRARED SAUNA AND MORE

Salt has the following properties:

  • Antibacterial
  • Anti-inflammatory
  • Mucolytic effects: loosens excessive mucus and speeds up mucociliary transport
  • Removes pathogen agents (airborne pollen)
  • Reduces IgE level (immune system oversensitivity)

The salt is grounded into tiny microparticles by our state-of-the-art halogenerator and then dispersed into the salt room. While relaxing or participating in classes in one of our salt rooms customers inhale the dry, salt-enriched air deep down into the lungs where the healing benefits have their greatest results.

The salt widens the airways and loosens mucus that begins to clear quickly and inflammation is reduced, which makes more room in the airways for you to breathe. The non-inhaled particles landing on the skin also help to balance pH and induce the reparative and regenerative processes in the skin, increasing rigidity and stimulating cell growth and microcirculation.

The benefits are the same in each environment, with the duration being different. Salt room sessions last 25 minutes. Those wishing to experience salt therapy primarily for the skin benefit more in a salt bed due to the level of privacy that allows one to disrobe. The salt room will only affect the skin areas that are exposed by normal clothing, but both environments will benefit the respiratory system equally.

Comfortable clothing is recommended for the salt room. You may change into clothing that exposes any areas of skin you would like the salt to reach (shorts, sleeveless shirts, skirts, etc).

Since Halo Therapy is 100% natural and drug-free, there are no negative side effects. 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.

  • Depending on age and stage of your condition anywhere between 20-30 sessions are recommended for long-term results.
  • The sessions should be frequent; about two or three a week is the suggested rate.
  • For irreversible conditions, two to three-month follow-up sessions are also recommended to maintain the clear lungs.

In most patients, after a course of Halo Therapy, airways become normal and symptoms disappear. The treatment’s efficacy is estimated at 75-98%. Most clients do 1-2 Salt Therapy courses a year but in between may come back for some additional sessions if they start to feel under the weather or begin dealing with other ailments.
