Clear the Cobwebs : The Benefits of Halotherapy
We all get the same advice when life feels heavy… “just take a deep breath,” and for most of us, that is easier said than done. When the harvest dust, seasonal allergies, and cooler weather start to creep in, our lungs (and our energy) can start to feel a little …. clogged.
Halotherapy (a.k.a. dry salt therapy) is your not so scary way to clear out what’s been hanging around.
The Science Behind The Salt
Halotherapy is a wellness treatment that mimics the natural, mineral rich environment of salt caves. Places known for their clean air and restorative benefits. Inside our HaloSauna, a halogenerator grinds pharmaceutical grade salt into microscopic particles and disperses them into the air of the sauna.
As you breathe, these tiny salt particles travel deep into your airways where they help break down mucus, clear inflammation, and neutralize bacteria. We like to refer to it as a “toothbrush for your lungs” Halotherapy clears out what your body is holding onto and gives your system space to breathe freely again.
Salt is naturally anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and absorbent. When inhaled, it helps your respiratory system do what it is designed to do: filter, cleanse, and protect.
Anti-inflammatory effects calm irritated airways and open the lungs
Antibacterial properties help reduce bacteria in the sinuses and respiratory tract
Negative ions released from salt help balance mood and energy levels
Over time, consistent halotherapy sessions can help you take that deep breath, strengthen your immune system, and support a good night’s rest.
Why Halotherapy Makes Sense This Season
We love fall because its cozy. We don’t love fall when it leaves us feeling less than our best. Cold air, indoor heating, and the shift in weather can stir up congestion, sinus pressure, and fatigue. Halotherapy helps your body adapt by supporting your respiratory system and boosting your natural defenses.
Regular sessions can help:
Clear congestion and ease seasonal allergy symptoms
Open airways for improved breathing
Reduce sinus pressure and post-nasal drip
Support immune health before cold and flu season hit
Promote clear, healthy skin
Encourage a calm, balanced mood
Halotherapy supports your whole body. When you breathe better, every thing else works better too.
Salt Rooms vs. HaloSauna: Same Therapy, Elevated Experience
You may be familiar with salt rooms, spaces lined with Himalayan salt bricks that use passive halotherapy. The air is infused with salt particles as you relax and breathe. These rooms are beautiful and beneficial, especially for clearing the lungs and calming the mind.
At Salt + Light, we’ve taken that same healing foundation and made it more intentional. Our HaloSauna blends halotherapy, infrared heat, and full body red light therapy in one private suite.
Salt cleanses
Heat detoxifies
Light restores
The warmth of the infrared heat helps to open your airways and pores so the salt can work deeper, while red light supports cellular recovery. You get all the clearing and calming benefits of a salt room plus the amplified results of heat and light working together. A full spectrum experience that helps you breathe, detox, and restore from every angle.
