In the Salt Room, Salt Shed, and Zen Shed, you are asked to remove your shoes and put away electronic devices (salt can be corrosive). Wear comfortable clothes—you might want to dust yourself off after your session. The all natural salt does not harm clothing. For skin conditions, expose as much skin as possible. Quiet music or the sound of ocean waves surround you as you relax and breathe deep for the most benefit.

As you breathe, you might feel a slight stinging in the nose and taste salt on your lips. Tissues are provided. This signals that the salt is working to minimize the mucus and secretions so that you can expel it safely. So, yes, coughing may occur as well.

What to expect in your salt session

Halotherapy, also known as salt therapy, is a holistic wellness practice that involves inhaling pharmaceutical-grade salt particles in a controlled environment. This natural, non-invasive therapy mimics the healing properties of salt caves and mines. As you relax in our Salt Room, Sea Salt Shed, Zen Shed, Halo Sauna or Red Light Booth, you will enjoy a gently cleansed respiratory system, helping to alleviate various respiratory and skin conditions.

Relief of edema from swollen tissues widens passages, improving drainage and increasing aeration behind the tympanic membrane, reducing infection in the pockets where bacteria often builds due to collected fluid. Relief from sinus infections is also achieved through deep penetrating dry salt particles. The negative charge of halo-aerosol particles causes them to be literally drawn in to the essentially positively charged environment of inflamed and infected sinus cavities. Relief is achieved quickly as mucus secretions become thinner and are able to drain properly, removing trapped pockets of debris and bacteria. The ionic particles also stimulate the immune system, increasing the body's innate ability to resist further infection as antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties reduce the current episode. This can significantly reduce the use of antibiotics in chronic sufferers of ear and sinus infections.
