Salt Therapy Booth by Sole Purpose Foot Care
What is dry salt therapy?
Halotherapy 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. If there is no halogenerator, there is not halotherapy.

How Dry Salt Therapy Works – The Three Fundamentals of Dry Salt Therapy
Dry salt acts like a sponge attracting foreign substances along its path through the respiratory tract. The dry salt can be imagined behaving like a toothbrush that cleans the respiratory system removing the build-up of foreign elements that cause various respiratory ailments and conditions.
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.
The dry salt particles 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.
What happens during a Salt Booth® Session?
Dry salt therapy acts to cleanse the respiratory system and the skin, which helps to relieve congestion, inflammation and skin conditions. Sessions are non-invasive.
Once you enter the SALT booth®, you can sit and relax. You can choose to listen to relaxing music, read a book or magazine, meditate or simply rest. You will find pure relaxation and tranquility away from your everyday stress, leaving you rejuvenated and fully energized. (Cell phones, electronics and jewelry are usually not permitted since salt can be corrosive.)
The salt, 99.99% Pure Grade Sodium Chloride, is heated and then ground and crushed 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.
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.
Who benefits from dry salt therapy?
Halotherapy benefits adults and children alike, as well as athletes and animals. It is natural and safe and there are not side effects. 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:

How long is a typical salt booth session?
Since cubic airspace is smaller SALT Booth® as opposed to a a Salt Room, the customer experiences a higher concentration level of salt, and only 10-minute sessions are needed to experience the full effect of Dry Salt Therapy.
How should I dress in a SALT booth®?
Loose, comfortable, light-colored clothing that you can relax in works best. If you are using Dry Salt Therapy for a skin condition, you’ll want to have that area exposed.
How many sessions do I need? How often?
Based on your condition and symptoms, this can vary. For best results, the Salt Therapy Association recommends a series of treatments. Some individuals prefer to use Dry Salt Therapy as a continuous preventative measure.
Are there any side effects of dry salt therapy?
There are no potentially harmful side effects of Dry Salt Therapy. The treatment is completely natural. A slight cough or a runny nose is possible, but this is simply the salt working to remove mucus and toxins from the lungs and airways.
