What is HaloSauna? Inside Salt+Light’s Breathe + Detox Suite
You’ve seen HaloSauna on the service menu and wondered, what actually happens in there? This one's for you. (especially if you like a little science with your self care)
At Salt + Light WellSpa in Independence, Iowa, our HaloSauna brings together three therapeutic tools in one private space; halotherapy (dry salt therapy), infrared sauna, and full body red light. As a full body support system, it is designed to help you breathe easier, sweat out toxins, and recover on every level.
Halotherapy : Salt Therapy for Lung Support
Halotherapy (or dry salt therapy) replicates the healing environment of natural salt caves. Inside the HaloSauna, a halogenerator disperses pharmaceutical grade salt into the air for you to breathe in. We call halotherapy “a toothbrush for your lungs” because it helps to clear out what your respiratory system’s been holding on to.
Benefits of Halotherapy
Open the lungs and airways
Reduce inflammation and mucus
Help with asthma, allergies, and sinus issues
Support immune health and skin healing
Infrared Sauna : Heat That Heals
Traditional saunas heat the air around you; infrared saunas use radiant heat that penetrates deep into your body, delivering warmth at a cellular level. Your body will sweat naturally, as needed, helping flush out toxins without overwhelming heat. The experience is gentler, deeper, and more supportive.
Benefits of Infrared Sauna
Increase circulation + flush out toxins
Relieve joint pain and muscle fatigue
Support nervous system regulation and recovery
Boost skin clarity
Red Light Therapy : Sunshine For Your Cells
Every HaloSauna session includes full body red light therapy (also available as a stand alone service). Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate energy production in your cells and reduce inflammation. Its low effort, high impact, and completely non-invasive.
Benefits of Red Light Therapy
Improve skin clarity and texture
Support recovery and reduce swelling
Boost mood, energy and improve sleep
Chromotherapy for Balance
