HALOTHERAPY
About Our Clinic
Salt therapy is a scientifically-proven treatment for respiratory and skin conditions.
For more than 20 years dry salt aerosol, administered in specially-designed halo chambers, has been used to treat upper and lower respiratory conditions such as cold and flu, allergy, asthma, bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, sinus infection, sinusitis, rhinitis, hay fever, and emphysema.
Some of the many benefits you’ll receive from The Salt Room Lake Country halotherapy include:
- Abatement of bronchial inflammation
- Removal of airborne pollen particles from airways
- Strengthening of immune system that decreases allergic reaction to pollens
- Cleansing and sanitation of the airways
- Prevention and treatment of common cold and flu
- Improvement of dermatological disorders such as acne, dermatitis and psoriasis
- Reduction of snoring
- Better sleep
100% drug-free, scientists and researchers developed halotherapy as a means of concentrating the positive effects of salt observed in nature.
It was in 1843 that the concept on which halotherapy is based was first published by a physician. After observing the remarkably low incidence of respiratory conditions in salt mine workers who were regularly exposed to air saturated with saline dust, the concept of speleotherapy (salt cave therapy) was born.
More recently, research published in the New England Journal of Medicine concluded that salt inhalation was a highly effective treatment for cystic fibrosis after observations among surfers led to clinical trials.
Our rooms bring the natural benefits of salt treatment to you and take them one step further by providing the ideal concentration of dry sodium chloride aerosol to treat your specific condition.
The Salt Room Lake Country has the equipment and staff to tailor your treatment.
Our rooms use the newest top-of-the-line halogenerators to crush pharmaceutical grade salt grains into small particles the size of 1 to 10 micrometers. Particles bigger than 5 micrometers are caught in the nose and throat, while the smaller particles can penetrate deep into the lungs.
Rooms are supplied with fresh air filtered by HEPA air filters that capture and remove up to 99.97 percent of all airborne particles and activated carbon filters that further remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can have a negative effect on health.
Surface areas in The Salt Room Lake Country are covered with natural sea salt which creates a sterilized and negative ion environment.
