Salt Cave Sessions

THE SALT CAVE EXPERIENCE

Halotherapy (salt therapy) brings the healing essence of natural salt caves into controlled modern environments. Using a halogenerator, pharmaceutical-grade salt is dispersed into the air, mimicking the microclimate of Eastern European salt mines known for their respiratory and skin-healing properties. Below, explore the science, history, and mechanisms that make Halotherapy a trusted wellness practice.

WHAT IS HALOTHERAPY?

Halotherapy, or salt therapy, is a natural, drug-free wellness modality where fine salt particles are inhaled in a controlled environment. This dry salt aerosol is generated by a halogenerator, which crushes and disperses 99.9% pure-grade sodium chloride into the air. As you breathe it in, the salt interacts with the lungs, sinuses, and skin, promoting detoxification, reducing inflammation, and supporting healing processes.

The environment simulates the air found in natural salt mines and caves—crisp, clean, and infused with micro-particles of mineral salt. Sessions are passive and relaxing, allowing your body to absorb the therapeutic elements effortlessly.

WHY SALT?

Salt has inherent antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and mucolytic (mucus-clearing) properties. When micronized salt is inhaled, it may:

Draw out toxins and allergens from the respiratory system
Thin mucus and improve lung function
Create an unfriendly environment for bacteria and microbes
Gently exfoliate and rebalance the skin

The salt used in halotherapy is pharmaceutical-grade, free of contaminants or additives, and specifically chosen for its purity and therapeutic effect. It’s not table salt—it’s cleaner, drier, and designed to act on the body’s airways and skin barrier effectively.

THE HISTORY OF SALT THERAPY

Halotherapy’s roots trace back to the salt mines of Eastern Europe. In the 1800s, Polish physicians observed that salt miners experienced remarkably low rates of respiratory illness—unlike other miners, they had clear lungs and healthy skin. This phenomenon sparked the first formal studies into salt’s health benefits.

Over time, natural cave sessions evolved into salt rooms and chambers, built to recreate the same microclimate found in the mines. The invention of the halogenerator allowed this once-rare experience to be brought into spas, wellness centers, and clinics around the world.

WHAT IS A HALOGENERATOR?

The halogenerator is the engine behind the therapeutic power of a salt cave. This precision device grinds pure salt into particles small enough to be inhaled—typically between 1–5 microns—and disperses them evenly into the room through a controlled airflow system.

What sets halotherapy apart is dry salt therapy, meaning the salt is not humidified. Dry salt is more absorbent and active, penetrating deeper into the sinuses and lungs. A room without a halogenerator, no matter how beautiful, lacks the therapeutic microclimate needed for effective halotherapy.

THE MICROCLIMATE EXPLAINED

Salt caves and rooms are designed to replicate a microclimate—an enclosed space with stable temperature, humidity, and air quality that mirrors natural salt mines. The dry, negatively charged air is rich in salt particles, creating an environment that is:

Antibacterial and antimicrobial
Ionically balanced to support mood and respiratory function
Low in allergens, pollutants, and airborne pathogens

This controlled setting allows your body to rest, recalibrate, and absorb the healing benefits of salt without distraction or environmental interference.

SCIENCE & RESEARCH INSIGHTS

Though halotherapy is considered a complementary modality, it is supported by a growing body of evidence. Studies have shown promising results for conditions such as:

Asthma and COPD: improved lung function and reduced inflammation
Bronchitis & sinusitis: enhanced mucus clearance and airflow
Dermatitis & eczema: reduced itching, redness, and skin irritation
Allergies: decreased nasal congestion and immune overreaction

Research gathered by organizations like the Salt Therapy Association highlights halotherapy’s role in reducing inflammatory markers, thinning mucus secretions, and modulating immune response.

WHY A SALT CAVE?

We chose a salt cave environment for a reason. Unlike a sterile chamber, a salt cave creates a multi-sensory wellness experience:

Soft lighting
Ground salt floors
Organic textures
Calming sounds

This immersive design fosters a sense of tranquility and deeper relaxation—allowing the body to enter a parasympathetic healing state. It’s more than salt—it’s sanctuary.

IS HALOTHERAPY RIGHT FOR YOU?

Halotherapy is gentle, non-invasive, and generally safe for most individuals. It’s ideal for those who:

Experience recurring respiratory issues
Are sensitive to allergens or environmental irritants
Struggle with chronic skin inflammation
Seek a drug-free way to support stress management

As with any wellness practice, halotherapy works best as part of a consistent routine and in conversation with your personal wellness goals. Consult with your healthcare provider if you have active infections or medical concerns.

What to Expect

WHAT TO EXPECT

Before Your Session

We recommend that you arrive at least 15 minutes early for your Salt therapy session. Our team will
listen to your health and wellness goals and create a custom plan for you.

We recommend that you wear something comfortable, loose and light in color as salt residue can show up more on dark colors.

We also ask that you refrain from wearing any scent (perfume, smoke, etc) as a courtesy to our scent free healing space.

During Your session

Experience a unique 45-minute salt therapy session in a Polish salt mine-inspired cave, surrounded by 4 tons of salt. The walls are made of salt bricks, the floor is covered with loose salt, and the ceiling mimics a starry sky with LED-lit stalactites. A halogenerator disperses pharmaceutical-grade salt into the air while calming music plays.

Relax, meditate, or read while breathing in the healing salt. Leave your phone behind to focus on your breath and maximize the benefits. If it’s your first time, a slight throat tickle or cough is normal—just proof the salt is working! Unwind and enjoy this precious "me" time.

After Your Session

Post salt cave session people often experience the draining of their sinuses right away or hours later after their first session. People also report to have better, deeper sleep the same night. Generally, you can expect to feel lighter and renewed.

To maximize the benefits of this treatment and experience all of the health and wellness benefits of salt therapy, building a constant routine is the foundation.

We recommend 2 treatments per week for 3 weeks, and then once/week thereafter.
