We live in one of the largest metropolitan cities in the nation and the combination of pollution from cars, refineries, and dust from the never-ending construction throughout the city can cause what feels like irreparable damage to our skin and respiratory health. Many individuals are familiar with wet salt therapies such as the use of a neti pot to treat nasal sinus congestion or allergies or gargling with warm salt water to help with inflammation or a sore throat. Fewer, however, are aware of the benefits of halotherapy.

Halotherapy, or dry salt therapy, has been used for years to help treat respiratory ailments such as allergies, bronchitis, asthma, and even Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It has also been known to help alleviate an array of skin issues including acne, eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis. Dry salt is naturally antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and is super absorbent, especially when dry.Dry salt helps improve cell rejuvenation and the firmness of your skin. The smaller dry particles can reach under the skin’s surface and absorb moisture, whereas the larger salt particles remain on the surface of the skin and absorb any bacterial substances.

The most effective way to enjoy the various advantages of dry salt therapy is with the use of a salt cabin. A salt cabin provides an intimate setting where individuals can sit in a warm, relaxing space while dry salt is ground into microscopic particles and dispersed via a halogenerator into the air of the salt cabin.
As the salt travels inside the salt cabin, these salt particles of dry sodium chloride are inhaled into your respiratory system. The dry salt naturally starts absorbing allergens, toxins, and foreign substances into your lungs and throughout your respiratory tract. Dry salt may help to reduce inflammation and open airway passages. The micro-sized crystal structure of pure NaCl particles breaks loose and clears out all of the muck. This is the basis for how dry salt therapy can impact people suffering from respiratory ailments such as allergies, asthma, bronchitis, and others. The properties of dry salt also absorb impurities and provide antibacterial properties that benefit the skin and improve issues such as acne, psoriasis, and eczema.
