What is Salt Chamber Therapy?
Salt Chamber Therapy utilizes the natural healing properties of Himalayan salt décor flooring to promote respiratory health and overall well-being. This centuries-old practice involves spending time in a carefully controlled environment infused with pharmaceutical-grade salt aerosol. Salt Chamber Therapy has shown remarkable potential in improving respiratory function for individuals grappling with various conditions such as acute and chronic bronchitis,1 asthma,2 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),3 and the management of symptoms related to COVID-19.4 By inhaling pharmaceutical-grade salt microparticles dispersed within the salt chamber environment by the Salt FX® halogenerator—the sole halogenerator that holds UL Listing, CE certification, adheres to QS/ISO quality standards, and is produced in a medical device facility. Patients experience a natural cleansing of the airways, which can alleviate inflammation, reduce mucus buildup, and promote bronchial dilation. This process helps manage acute symptoms and contributes to long-term respiratory health by enhancing lung function and supporting immune response.
How Salt Chamber Therapy Works
Salt Therapy works by gently releasing dry pharmaceutical-grade microscopic salt particles into the air. This salt is heated and finely ground, then crushed into minuscule microparticles using a specialized halogenerator machine and dispersed into our Salt Chamber. When inhaled, these particles penetrate deep into the respiratory system, helping to cleanse the airways, reduce inflammation, and loosen mucus. Additionally, the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of salt can alleviate symptoms associated with various respiratory conditions such as coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath, providing a complementary approach to conventional medical treatments.
Benefits of Salt Chamber Therapy
Salt Chamber Therapy offers a myriad of benefits, including:
- Improved respiratory function
- Reduced inflammation in the airways
- Treats respiratory diseases
- Relief from allergies, asthma, and sinus congestion
- Reduces snoring, smoker’s cough, and wheezing
- Enhanced skin health
- Stress reduction and relaxation
- Boosted immune system function
- Detoxification of the body
