What is Halotherapy? And What should I expect?

Halotherapy, also known as Dry Salt Therapy is a holistic approach that mimics the micro-climate of a salt cave. Dry salt air is dispersed into an enclosed environment through a unique process generated by a halogenerator. This type of treatment is a safe and effective way of using salt’s natural antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and super absorbent properties to provide relief for respiratory and skin conditions.

When you heat salt, it becomes super dry, and kinetically more active. This heated and dry pure sodium chloride is then crushed into micro-sized particles and dispersed into the air in an enclosed environment. When micro-particles of dry salt is inhaled into the respiratory system, it does its job by absorbing and removing allergens, toxins and foreign substances in your lungs and throughout your respiratory tract. Salt also reduces any inflammation and opens airway passages making easier to breathe.

    You will then be guided into the Refuge Salt Spa where you will find comfortable zero gravity chairs, blankets, eye pillows and even a warm floor salt lamp on which you can rejuvenate your feet. Make yourself comfortable and lie back as the halo generator (dry salt machine) will shortly begin filling the air with micro-particles of salt while light music is played during each session. You may notice a slight taste of salt on your tongue, increased drainage or even a slight cough. Not to worry, this is your body clearing out the airways. Once you hear the salt machine finish, your session will have completed. You can then exit the room and make your way back to the first floor of the building feeling refreshed, relaxed, and breathing easily. For more detail about What is Halo therapy?
