How halotherapy works
A halogenerator grinds pure salt into microscopic particles and disperses them as a fine, dry aerosol into a closed, dry room. You sit back and breathe normally for 45 minutes.
The salt
Halotherapy uses sodium chloride — plain, pure salt. Completely dry salt is highly absorbent, which is why a salt room is kept dry. Our halogenerator uses pharmaceutical-grade Pharmasal salt from Salinen Austria. The Salt Therapy Association explains more about how and why the practice works.
Inside the halogenerator
The halogenerator grinds the salt into micro-sized particles and releases them into the room as a fine, dry aerosol, evenly and continuously through the session.
What happens in the room
As you breathe normally, the fine salt particles are in the air around you; others settle on your skin and clothes. The room's temperature, humidity and ventilation are kept consistent from one session to the next, so every session feels the same.
Why it differs from a passive salt room
A room decorated with salt but without a halogenerator doesn't disperse any salt into the air. It can be a calming place, but it isn't halotherapy — the two can look similar, but they aren't the same.
A complementary wellness practice
Many of our clients enjoy halotherapy as part of their wider wellness routine. As with any complementary practice, it isn't a substitute for medical treatment. If you have a health condition, please speak to your GP before booking.
