What is Halotherapy?
The health benefits of Halotherapy (also known as Salt Therapy) have been known for a very long time. Halotherapy – derived from the Greek prefix halo meaning “salt”, is a form of alternative medicine which makes use of salt. For centuries, people have trusted the benefits of Halotherapy to relieve respiratory illnesses, improve skin conditions and strengthen their immune systems.
How and why Halotherapy works
The primary acting factor in Halotherapy is the inhalation of Dry Salt Aerosol. Our halogenerator delivers a reliable and powerful performance for every Dry Salt Therapy session by crushing pharmaceutical grade salt into micron-sized particles. This creates a dry salt aerosol between the size of 1 to 10 micrometers. Particles bigger than 10 micrometers are caught in the nose and the throat, whereas, particles the size of 1 micrometer can penetrate deep into the lungs and even into the blood stream. These small particles of salt are negatively ionized and bear a very high kinetic energy. This way, it is guaranteed that it gets into the deepest and smallest parts of the lung. Negative ionization of salt increases the efficiency of healing.
