Why Salt Room Therapy?
Salt therapy, also known as halotherapy, is an all-natural therapy that benefits the lungs and skin while enhancing overall well-being. Salt is a natural disinfectant; it is anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory. Salt absorbs allergens, toxins, and foreign substances. It also absorbs moisture in the respiratory tract. The micronized salt particles can also improve your skin’s hydration and texture. Feel the Himalayan salt beneath your feet and breathe in the rich, salty air.

What is Salt Therapy?
During the 45-minute session, pharmaceutical-grade salt is precisely ground into microparticles using a machine called a halo-generator. Once ground, the salt is dispersed within the air of the salt room and inhaled into the respiratory system. When inhaled, the salt helps clear congestion, reduce inflammation and improve drainage, treating many respiratory ailments such as allergies, sinus infections, colds, COPD, etc. Salt therapy can also be beneficial in treating skin conditions such as rosacea, eczema, and psoriasis.
Salt Therapy and Seasonal Allergies
In Charlotte, allergies can be common, especially at certain times of the year. Allergy relief doesn’t always have to come in the form of shots or medication. A salt room is one of nature’s natural allergy treatments and can be quite effective.
When you have allergies, your immune system makes antibodies that identify a particular allergen as harmful, even though it isn’t. When you come into contact with the allergen, your immune system’s reaction can inflame your airways. The natural anti-inflammatory properties of salt can help to reduce this inflammation and thin bronchial and nasal secretions. Improved drainage allows for a reduction in contaminants that may trigger or prolong allergic episodes.
Is Salt Therapy safe for children?
Salt therapy is safe for children of all ages and children under 14 years old are free with a parent/guardian. Most children find the salt room fun and exciting and enjoy playing during the duration of the treatment! Salt therapy is also safe for pregnant women, whether you’re looking for respiratory or skin benefits, or just need some you-time for relaxing!
