How Salt Therapy Works
Salt therapy, or halotherapy, is a wellness practice where microparticles of pharmaceutical-grade salt are inhaled in a controlled environment. A halogenerator grinds the salt into tiny particles and disperses them into the air.
Salt therapy's effectiveness depends on particle size (1 to 5 micrometers), concentration, and exposure duration. The controlled environment maintains consistent salt concentration, creating a consistent salt therapy environment.
Research into halotherapy has explored how microscopic salt particles may interact with the respiratory system, including their potential effects on mucus clearance and respiratory comfort. Research is ongoing, and individual experiences can vary
HOW SALT THERAPY MAY SUPPORT RESPIRATORY WELLBEING
-
Fine salt particles may help support airway comfort by interacting with inflammation in the respiratory system, helping to promote easier, more comfortable breathing.
-
Salt's potential anti-inflammatory properties may help support respiratory and sinus comfort during periods of colds and seasonal illness, including blocked sinuses, sore throats and coughs.

-
Research into salt therapy has explored its potential mucolytic effects, which may help support the natural clearance of phlegm and mucus from the lungs and airways.
-
Studies have explored salt therapy’s effect on IgE levels (the immune system’s response to allergens), while also supporting mucus clearance and the natural removal of trapped allergens through coughing or sneezing.

-
Salt has antibacterial and anti-pathogenic properties, which may help inhibit the growth of bacteria and support the respiratory system’s natural defences against airborne pathogens.
HOW SALT THERAPY MAY SUPPORT SKIN WELLBEING

Salt’s antibacterial and antiseptic properties may help support skin comfort for those experiencing eczema and psoriasis, including irritation, itching and discomfort.
Its anti-inflammatory properties may also help soothe the skin and support greater comfort where inflammation and soreness are present.
Studies have also explored salt therapy’s effect on IgE levels (the immune system’s response to allergens) and its role in supporting the skin’s natural barrier and overall skin wellbeing.
With regular sessions, many clients choose to make salt therapy part of their ongoing wellbeing routine, supporting respiratory comfort, skin wellbeing and relaxation.
Is Salt Therapy Right for You?​​
Salt therapy is used by adults and children as a complementary wellness practice. While research into halotherapy continues to develop, individual experiences can vary and salt therapy may not be suitable for everyone​​.
