Halotherapy - Salt Therapy at UTB
Halotherapy, also known as salt therapy, involves inhaling tiny salt particles to support respiratory health. Our Halotherapy device disperses a fine, 3% pharmaceutical-grade saline mist, designed to mimic natural salt caves. When inhaled, these salt particles can reduce inflammation, clear mucus, and help with infections, allergies, asthma, and skin conditions.
Halotherapy offers therapeutic benefits, particularly for respiratory and skin health. Inhaled salt particles can help reduce respiratory inflammation, remove pollutants, and improve breathing. For the skin, halotherapy can balance pH levels, enhance collagen production, and rejuvenate the skin by promoting cell turnover. It may also boost mental well-being due to negatively charged ions in salt, which are known to lower stress and improve mood.
Halotherapy sessions are incorporated into your regular massage session and last 20 minutes. This can be used to help support your respiratory and immune system especially during the cold and respiratory virus surges certain times of year.
Massage Trifecta: You can combine halotherapy with red light therapy and massage therapy at UTB, creating a trifecta of healing in your massage session. Pricing for Red Light & Halotherapy is a $30 add on to any massage session.
For Detox or Respiratory Cleanse: sit in our Infrared Sauna for 20 minutes prior to your massage session and add halotherapy during your massage for only $37.50. This is great with lymphatic massage for detoxification purposes.
What are Some Benefits of Halotherapy or Salt Therapy?
Halotherapy offers a range of benefits, including:
- Respiratory relief: Helps to cleanse the airways and reduce inflammation especially after a head cold or active seasonal allergy reactivity time.
- Skin health: Can support hydration, pH balance, and collagen production, which may improve conditions like eczema and acne.
- Mood boost: The negative ions in salt are thought to help balance serotonin, promoting relaxation and reducing stress.
These benefits are presented for reference purposes only and no implication of halotherapy creating a cure for or treating any disease is implied nor should it be inferred. If you have a health condition, are taking prescription drugs, or are pregnant, please consult your physician before starting halotherapy.
Who Should Avoid Halotherapy?
While generally safe, halotherapy may not be suitable for everyone. Those with severe respiratory conditions, open wounds, or severe skin issues should seek medical advice before partaking. Pregnant individuals or those with high blood pressure should also consult a healthcare provider.
