Salt Therapy Booth FAQ

What is Salt Therapy?

Also known as Halotherapy, Salt Therapy is a dry salt therapy that utilizes a halogenerator to grind and crush salt into micronized particles that are dispersed into the SALT Booth® via a dry salt aerosol that works to aid respiratory concerns and skin conditions.


How does it work?

A halogenerator heats and then grinds 99.99% Pure Grade Sodium Chloride into very tiny microparticles. These dry aerosol microparticles of salt are then dispersed into the SALT Booth® where they are inhaled and penetrate deep into the lungs, bronchi bronchioles and alveoli. The non-inhaled salt particles fall onto the skin and are absorbed.

Dry salt acts like a sponge attracting foreign substances along its path through the respiratory tract. It cleans the respiratory system by removing the build-up of foreign elements that cause various respiratory ailments and conditions.


Isn’t salt bad for you?

While consuming a high salt diet is linked to increased blood pressure, a dry salt therapy uses extremely fine particles that enter the respiratory system directly, and in smaller quantities.


How is a Salt Booth different from a Salt Room?

Since cubic airspace is smaller in a SALT Booth® as opposed to a a Salt Room, there is a higher concentration level of salt, and only 10-minute sessions are needed to experience the full effect of Dry Salt Therapy.


What can Salt Therapy treat?

Inhaled dry salt particles may help to reduce inflammation in the entire respiratory tract and widen the airway passages. A Clean respiratory system naturally results in high oxygen intake, increased energy, and an improved immune system. In addition, they act as an anti-bacterial agent, dissolving bacteria and pollutants lodged in the respiratory tract. These are then either coughed up or naturally expelled by the body.

According to the Salt Therapy Association (STA), many people who undergo halotherapy as a complementary treatment on a regular basis may find relief from a variety of respiratory conditions such as:

  • Asthma
  • Chronic Bronchitis
  • COPD
  • Cystic Fibrosis
  • Allergies/Hay Fever
  • Emphysema
  • Ear Infections
  • Sinus Infections/Sinusitis
  • Snoring & Sleeping Problems

Dry salt therapy is also extremely beneficial to your skin in treating:

  • Acne
  • Eczema
  • Psoriasis

In addition, dry salt therapy has been shown to reduce:

  • Stress
  • Fatigue
  • Anxiety

Who can participate?

Halotherapy benefits adults and children alike, as well as athletes and animals. However, it is not recommended for people with contagious diseases, fever, open wounds, cancer, severe hypertension, mental disorders, and active tuberculosis. As with most treatments, Pregnant Women should consult their physicians before beginning halotherapy.


What are the side effects?

When your session is over, you may notice a faint trace of salt on your lips and the slight taste of salt on your tongue. Any salt that collects on your clothing can be easily brushed off. A runny nose or increase in coughing means your body is clearing out mucus and toxins.

Me and my boyfriend walked out and felt like we were walking on air seriously! We were traveling and only going to be in town for a few days I googled and found Dee Dee's. I picked her because of all the excellent comments. Comments have nothing on the total experience. I feel like I've never had a pedicure until today!! My boyfriend walked out chanting "Dee - Dee do your feet... make my feet feel really sweet" Lol! What a great person what a great experience. Can't wait until the next time... Thank you so much Dee Dee!

Pedicures are pedicures, right? Wrong. Since I first met Dee Dee, I was struck by her passion for people's feet. Her passion is also educational; she taught me, for example, that water on the skin dehydrates, but water in the body hydrates. Maybe everyone else knows that, but I didn't. She also explained that while other facilities may sanitize their implements she sterilizes her's in a autoclave, in the same way a hospital would for surgical equipment. Each time our path would cross she would say, "you have to come in so I can show you what I do." Well, you can only resist her so long...I'm glad I gave in, what a great experience. As you walk into her studio you feel like you're walking into her home, it's very warm and inviting. I waited about 6-7 minutes while she finished with the customer ahead of me. When she brought me back she made me comfortable in a giant leather recliner. Then she began to work her magic! Since Sole Purpose is a water-less system I didn't have the endless foot aerobics like you have at typical shops; in the water, out of the water, in the water...etc. It's far more relaxing to kick the recliner back and watch her do what she loves. Even working on my cuticles, there was never any pain like I'd experienced in the past at other salons. May I also say, the paraffin treatment is terrific! (Worth it!) So in about 45 minutes or so my feet were perfectly tended and ready for my socks that she kindly warmed first. Really a class act both the facility and Dee Dee. Well done!
