Halotherapy, or dry salt therapy, is a natural, drug-free treatment that involves inhaling microscopic salt particles dispersed into the air in a controlled environment. This type of therapy replicates the climate found in salt caves, which has been used for centuries to alleviate respiratory and skin conditions.
In a halotherapy room, a specialised device called a halogenerator grinds pharmaceutical-grade salt into fine aerosol and disperses it into the air. The dry salt is believed to:
Absorb excess mucus in the airways;
Support the natural cleansing processes of the respiratory tract;
Reduce airborne pathogens and allergens.
Sessions typically last 20 to 45 minutes, and participants simply breathe as normal while sitting or moving calmly through the salt-enriched space. The experience is non-invasive, quiet, and often described as calming by both adults and children.
