Salt therapy, also known as halotherapy is a natural therapy that involves spending time in a salt-infused environment. By way of halogenerator, the air saturates with tiny salt particles, which you breathe in. These salt particles are proven to have various health benefits, especially for respiratory and skin conditions. Salt therapy is a relaxing and drug-free way to support your overall well-being
A halogenerator grinds pharmaceutical grade sodium chloride into tiny micro-particles, which are then dispersed into a salt room using a fan. Extensive clinical studies have established optimal concentration levels, protocols, and dosing for effective use.
In 1843, Dr. Feliks Boczkowski, a Polish physician, made a fascinating discovery. He noticed that salt mine workers had remarkably low rates of respiratory illness compared to workers in other industries. This led to the exploration of speleotherapy, which involved spending time in salt mines. Fast forward to 1976, when Russian doctors and scientists developed the first halogenerator.
