About Salt Room Benefits

A 45-minute session in a salt room benefits the symptoms of many respiratory and skin conditions.

For more than 20 years, dry salt aerosol, administered in specially-designed halochambers, 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.

In addition, the anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of dry sodium chloride aerosol has been shown to effectively treat ear infection and conditions of the skin such as eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis.

Some of the many benefits you’ll receive from The Salt Room Longwood 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

100% drug free, scientists & researchers developed halotherapy to duplicate 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.

Salt Therapy is Safe!

Our salt room uses a top-of-the-line halogenerator to crush pharmaceutical-grade salt grains into particle sizes between 1 and 10 micrometers. Particles bigger than 5 micrometers are caught in the nose and throat, while the smaller particles can penetrate deep into the lungs.

HEPA air filters in the room capture and remove up to 99.97% of airborne particles, including viral particles, while activated carbon filters remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs). A UV light kills 98.8% of bacteria and viruses on surfaces.

Surface areas in The Salt Room Longwood are covered with natural sea salt which creates a sterilized and negative ion environment.
