Halotherapy, also known as Salt Therapy, is a natural treatment for adults and children with respiratory and skin issues.
Each session lasts 50 minutes in a relaxed and atmospheric room entirely constructed from salt, mimicking the climate of a natural salt cave or mine.
In the salt room, a halogenerator grinds and disperses fine dry aerosol salt particles, which are then inhaled. These particles reach the deepest lung cells. The salt dissolves in the mucous membranes and is naturally expelled.
For the skin, the effect is as follows: The salty air dispersed by the halogenerator in the salt chamber penetrates deep into the skin cells, thereby improving the quality of the skin from within.
This therapy is also widely used among (top) athletes. Research has shown that the therapy can have a beneficial effect on lung capacity for athletes. Especially during top performances, a 5% increase or decrease in lung capacity can be decisive.
Halotherapy is beneficial for everyone. It cleanses the skin and lungs from the effects of smoking and air pollution. It promotes relaxation and vitality, and enhances overall well-being and health.
Additionally, the salt room provides a beautiful sensory experience, stimulating all senses in a pleasant manner!
Visiting the salt room does not replace regular healthcare, but it can complement or support it. Sometimes, it may even help reduce or discontinue the use of medications. If you have any doubts, always consult your healthcare provider or specialist.
Halotherapy originates from Eastern Europe. Centuries ago, it was observed that miners working in salt mines were rarely ill despite their strenuous labor. After extensive research, it was determined that the microclimate in salt mines had a positive effect on health, particularly benefiting the skin and respiratory system. Since many people couldn't visit actual salt caves, efforts were made to recreate similar environments above ground, thus creating artificial salt rooms.
In Eastern European countries, the old mines remain popular attractions. The most famous salt cave, Wieliczka, is located in Poland. Today, Halotherapy is a significant part of healthcare in many Central and Eastern European countries. There are now hundreds of centers in Russia, America, Australia, and across Europe. It is gaining popularity in the Netherlands and Belgium as well.
