SALT ROOM THERAPY FAQ
How does Sea Salt Therapy work?
Salt is naturally very absorbent, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory. Our halogenerator grinds the salt and disperses the aerosol into the air in our Salt Room. The particles are inhaled and naturally the salt starts to absorb allergens, toxins, and foreign substances. Additionally, salt particles falling onto the skin are absorbing any bacterial foreign substances.
Our halogenerators crush pure, imported Sea Salt, into small particles during the session, the size of one to ten micrometers. Particles bigger than five micrometers are caught in the nose and throat, while smaller particles can penetrate deep into the lungs. Our room is normally set for 40% to 60% saturation. For an additional fee, we can increase this saturation level above 60%.

How many sessions are recommended?
Every experience is different, and it depends on the type and severity of your condition. Based on research for chronic respiratory and dermatological conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis, allergies and psoriasis, it is strongly recommended to complete 12 to 25 sessions, preferably within four to eight weeks.
You may feel some improvement after a single session, but a series of treatments is required to achieve long-term results.
For mild conditions such as colds, flu symptoms, ear infections or other temporary respiratory discomforts, 6 to 8 treatments may be enough.
Some people use treatments as a preventative measure to avoid the common cold and other respiratory viruses.
Salt Room Therapy is most effective when used twice a week.

Should I worry about being in the same room with other clients? Is there a chance that I may catch infection from other clients who are coughing or sick?
It is practically impossible to catch any infection or be affected by bacteria during the therapy, since our Sea Salt Therapy room is sterile and salt is naturally antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal, and it kills most bacteria on contact. Additionally, our filtered ventilation system is constantly working to circulate the air in the salt room and dispose of used air, bringing in clean and filtered air.
What should I wear to the treatment session?
You may wear anything that you are comfortable in, as you will remain entirely clothed for the session. The salt will not damage your clothes or leave any noticeable residue; therefore, no special clothing is required. We do, however, require you to wear clean socks in the room; no bare feet or shoes are allowed. We also kindly ask that you not wear perfumes before or during a session as other visitors may be allergic or sensitive to them.
What are the advantages of Sea Salt Therapy compared to prescribed medicine?
Sea Salt Therapy is a complementary treatment to modern medicines. Patients who undergo treatment often find they can reduce their dependence on certain medications and that their symptoms become less frequent and less severe. However, you should always follow your doctor’s advice and your prescribed medication regime.
Sea Salt Therapy is a 100% drug free, non-invasive and comfortable treatment with no side effects or potential health hazards.
