SALT THERAPY
FAQ and What to Expect
Welcome to our Salt Therapy FAQ section! We understand that you may have questions about this natural, healing treatment, and we're here to provide you with all the information you need.
Whether you're new to salt therapy or considering it for specific health concerns, this guide covers everything from what salt therapy is to its benefits and how it works.
Explore answers to frequently asked questions below.
What is Salt Therapy?
Salt therapy, also known as halotherapy, is a natural treatment that involves inhaling dry, microscopic salt particles in a controlled environment. The therapy is inspired by the beneficial effects of salty air in natural caves and mines. The salt particles help to cleanse and detoxify the respiratory system, improve skin health, and promote overall wellness.
How does Salt Therapy work?
During a salt therapy session, you relax in a specially designed room where a halogenerator disperses fine salt particles into the air. These particles are inhaled and reach the respiratory system, where they work to reduce inflammation, clear mucus, and kill bacteria. The salt also has a positive impact on the skin when it settles on the skin’s surface, helping with conditions like eczema and acne.
What are the benefits of Salt Therapy for overall wellness?
Salt therapy provides numerous health benefits, including:
-
Improved respiratory health by clearing mucus and reducing inflammation
-
Enhanced skin health, promoting clearer, healthier skin
-
Strengthened immune system and better resistance to infections
-
Relaxation and stress relief, improving mental well-being
-
A natural way to detoxify the body and promote better breathing
-
Better sleep and improved energy levels
How often should I undergo Salt Therapy for optimal results?
The frequency of sessions can depend on your individual health goals. For general wellness, 2-3 sessions per week are recommended. For those with chronic conditions like asthma or allergies, more frequent sessions (3-5 times per week) may be beneficial, especially at the beginning of treatment. Your practitioner can help create a personalized schedule based on your needs.
Is Salt Therapy safe?
Yes, salt therapy is completely safe for most people, including children and adults. The treatment is non-invasive and free of chemicals, making it a natural, side-effect-free option for improving health. However, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional if you have a serious medical condition or are pregnant.
What should I expect during a session?
Salt therapy sessions are relaxing and simple. You will enter a salt therapy room that is designed to mimic the environment of a salt cave. You’ll sit in a comfortable chair and breathe in the salty air while the halogenerator disperses salt particles into the room. Sessions typically last 30-45 minutes, and many people find it to be a peaceful experience, similar to a meditation session. You don’t need to do anything special other than breathe deeply and relax.
What should I wear for a Salt Therapy session?
We recommend wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. While the salt particles are fine and won’t stain, it's best to avoid wearing delicate fabrics or expensive clothing, as the salt may settle on your clothes during the session. Many people prefer to wear relaxed attire such as sweatpants, a t-shirt, or yoga clothes.
​
If you’re coming for a session focused on skin conditions, you may also want to wear something that exposes areas of your skin (such as arms or legs) to benefit from the therapeutic effects of the salt on your skin.
Can I use electronics during a Salt Therapy session?
To maximize the benefits of your salt therapy experience, we recommend leaving your electronics outside the therapy room or turning them off during your session.
​
Electronics and Salt Exposure: Salt particles in the air can settle on your devices and potentially cause damage over time. Sensitive components, like screens and buttons, may not function properly after repeated exposure to salt.
​
Can I book a group for Salt Therapy or is it only for individuals?
We’re happy to accommodate both individuals and groups for Salt Therapy sessions!

How will I feel after a Salt Therapy Session?
After a salt therapy session, people report feeling incredibly refreshed and calm, with a noticeable improvement in breathing. Many experience softer skin, breathing easier, and feeling lighter. Your airways clearer, and breathing more deeply as the mucus in your body thins. The weight of congestion lifted with a sense of peace and mental clarity.
