Side Effects, Concerns, and Contraindications

There are several clinical studies and research projects on halotherapy. To date there are no known contraindications to halotherapy. However, there are health conditions with recommended restrictions to sodium chloride, as well as in health code situations in public environments, conditions such as:
  ▢ Active tuberculosis
  ▢ Contagious conditions
  ▢ Late-stage lung cancer
  ▢ Acute issues and fever
  ▢ Open wounds and sores
  ▢ Cardiac insufficiency

We encourage individuals to consult their local physician before beginning any regiment of dry salt therapy.

Salt Concerns: Some people are concerned about the intake of salt because of issues relating to diet, high blood pressure, and hypertension. This type of salt intake is connected to the digestive tract. Dry salt therapy is different as it is associated with the respiratory system. When inhaled, the amount of micro salt particles entering your respiratory system is extremely low, so it doesn’t present any risk to your health. It kills bacteria, reduces inflammation, and expands airways.
There have been no reports stating that inhaling the amount of salt being utilized in a salt therapy session can provide any type of disruption or elevation of high blood pressure or hypertension.

Salt Type and Quality: Halotherapy requires the highest-quality salt available, which means that the cleanest salt available should be used. All the clinical studies and research for halotherapy involve only using 99.99% pure grade sodium chloride. This salt comes from the earth and seas but goes through a process eliminating and removing all debris and contaminants. It is not processed with any additives or caking agents such as table salt.

For Best Results

During a course of therapy, chronic sufferers should try to complete sessions as consecutively as possible - daily is best, but at least 3 times a week are usually needed for challenging cases. Back-to-back sessions - two in a row - can be greatly beneficial for sinus and skin conditions, though are not always recommended for chronic lung conditions.

Dry Salt Therapy Treatment Protocols

Based on an individual's condition and symptoms, this can vary, since like many wellness and health regimens, individuals respond differently. Many individuals will notice a positive effect in just in one session, however, a series of sessions is recommended for optimal results. Some people go two to three times a week for a three to four-week ritual during allergy and cold seasons, some people go twice a week for six to eight weeks for more chronic conditions. Those who go for general wellness, stress relief, and relaxation simply go as often as they like. For best results, a series of treatments is recommended. The Salt Therapy Association additionally recommends using dry salt therapy as a continuous preventive measure to strengthen the immune system against colds, cough, allergies, and sinusitis. There are some people who have salt therapy in their homes and do a daily ritual. There is no reported overdosing from salt therapy.

Although the FDA has yet to establish official protocols for dry salt therapy in the United States, some European countries have incorporated the following duration of treatment:

Asthma (mild): 12-14 days
Asthma (severe): 18-21 days
Acute bronchitis: 12-14 days
Recurrent bronchitis: 12-14 days
Chronic simple bronchitis: 18-21
Chronic obstructive bronchitis: 18-21
Pneumonia after acute stage: 12-14
Cystic fibrosis: 20-25 days
Chronic sinusitis: 14-18 days
Acute sinusitis: 3-5 days
Hay fever: 12-14 days
Smokers: 12-14 days

7 Senses Sauna Therapies:

FAR-Spectrum Infrared Saunas

Our FAR-Spectrum Infrared Sauna is more effective at stimulating health benefits and is gentler on the body than traditional hot rock saunas and steam rooms. You'll get a deep, cellular sweat that has youthful benefits for your skin and is energizing for your body. You’ll FEEL the difference with infrared heat!
This heat mimics exercise. It triggers the body to push blood from the core through extremity muscles. Consistent use is a great way to reset your health and wellness journey. It's also a great way to add to one's already stellar health!

What is an Infrared Sauna?

Infrared light (experienced as heat) is part of the invisible part of the sun's spectrum which penetrates our skin to produce a host of health benefits. It is naturally occurring from the sun and is the basis for the technology in infrared saunas. Sauna therapy has been known for centuries to help alleviate harmful stress while providing a healthier stress. The FAR-spectrum infrared saunas go even further by heating your body’s core at a cellular level. The penetration of infrared produces a host of anti-aging health benefits and has made infrared saunas a vital therapy for next-level healthier living. FAR-Spectrum Infrared Saunas heat the body deeply rather than simply warming the air. Each spectrum provides significant benefits in key areas of cellular health and induces much more metabolic activity and sweat than traditional steam sauna. Better complexion, tone, texture, elasticity are just some health benefits for your skin. But it doesn't stop there.

What are Infrared Wavelengths?

The sun produces a combination of visible and invisible light. One of those invisible spectrums is infrared rays. Invisible infrared wavelengths are what makes the sun feel warm. Scientists have established that infrared waves are beneficial to the human body as they increase the thermal energy in the body. Infrared does this without any of the harmful rays. There are three main categories of the infrared spectrum: far, mid, and near infrared.

Far Infrared is the closest of the wavelengths to the infrared heat given off by our own body. Far infrared is readily captured by the water molecules in the body, contact releases energy. Since far infrared wavelengths feel natural to us, we feel as if our own energy is heightened.

Mid Infrared wavelengths are captured by water molecules while temporarily increasing circulation through the dilatation of blood vessels, promoting temporary increase in blood flow, and temporarily elevating heart rate and overall metabolism.

Near Infrared is not captured by water in the body, penetrating the deepest to increase your core thermal energy. Near infrared stimulates Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy-carrying molecules in every living thing. Animal and human ATP usually get chemical energy from the breakdown of food.

Health Benefits of Infrared Sauna Treatments:
Detoxification The liver and kidneys perform most of our body’s detoxification. However, when those systems are overwhelmed, sweating pitches in above and beyond its function as the body’s cooling system.

So How Does Sweating Help?

Increased blood circulation – promote liver and lymph node activity.

Replenishing fluids after sweating – promotes kidney function.

Stress relief – though the heat and sweating are mild stressors to the body, if we intend and experience a relaxing calm, we are lowering the stress hormone cortisol. With less cortisol coursing through our blood there’s more room for toxins to get expelled.

Sweat contains metals and other toxins not only from our blood plasma, but from our skin. If our environment coats us with toxins – sweating before and after a shower may be more beneficial than just a shower at ridding the surface and lower dermal layers of toxins.

Arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury may be excreted in appreciable quantities through the skin, and rates of excretion may match or even exceed urinary excretion in a 24-hour period. This is of particular interest should renal compromise limit urinary excretion of toxic elements. It has been noted that among people whose health is compromised by toxicants, heat regulatory mechanisms of the autonomic nervous system are often affected, resulting in a failure to sweat readily. In these cases, along with diet and nutritional supplementation to remediate biochemical imbalances, interventions to consider include brushing the skin, niacin (a B vitamin) to assist with vasodilation, and exercise prior to sauna use. Clinical experience is that with persistence and ample hydration patients do eventually start to sweat. This is often a sign that the autonomic nervous system function is beginning to improve. With enhanced ability to sweat, detoxification is facilitated, which can ultimately result in clinical improvement.

Improved Immune System

Skin is a physical barrier that prevent microbes from reaching potential sites of infection. Sweating not only helps keep us cool and our skin protected through hydration, it also helps our skin's microbiome maintain homeostasis. Sweat glands produce and excrete antimicrobial peptides for defense against skin infection.

Relaxation

Long-term stress is the cause of countless negative physiological effects on the body. Infrared sauna technology delivers therapeutic heat so you can be enveloped in soothing warmth to relieve stress, ease your muscles, and help you fully relax.

Lower Blood Pressure

High blood pressure increases your risk of getting heart disease, kidney disease or even having a stroke. Infrared sauna therapy dilates blood vessels and reduces the volume of their inner lining, increasing circulation to promote healthy blood pressure.

Improved Circulation

Heating muscles with infrared rays (especially mid-range) produces an increase in blood flow similar to exercise. Regular HaloIR™ sauna use can stimulate blood flow up to twice the normal rate.

Skin Purification

Restore skin’s youthful appearance with the help of near-infrared sauna therapy. Clients have experienced a reduction in wrinkles, crow’s feet, as well as improved skin tone, softness, smoothness, elasticity, clarity, and firmness.

Weight Loss

Infrared heat helps you burn calories. Our HaloIR™ saunas are clinically shown to aid in weight loss and lower waist circumference in three-month of regular use.

Pain Relief

Infrared sauna heat works by penetrating joints, muscles, and tissues, increasing circulation and speeding oxygen flow. Near-infrared heat therapy has been shown to help the production of white blood cells which alleviates swelling and inflammation from infections (viral and bacterial), and trauma. These are key factors in easing bodily pain. Imagine using less or no pain medication because you’re giving your body better conditions and resources to improve and heal.

Halotherapy - Taste, Inhale, and Feel the Dry Salty Air

What is Dry Salt Therapy (Halotherapy)?
Halotherapy is a dry salt therapy that utilizes a halogenerator to grind and crush salt into micronized particles that are dispersed into the air of the salt booth to aid respiratory concerns and skin conditions.

What Happens During a Salt Session?

Sessions are non-invasive. You can sit and meditate in the salt booth. You can read, relax, rest, listen to music, and dim the lights.
You should find relaxation and tranquility, a wellness respite from your everyday stress. You may leave rejuvenated and energized.
The salt, 99.99% Pure Grade Sodium Chloride, is heated and crushed into tiny and dry microparticles. These microparticles are dispersed into the booth where they are inhaled, penetrating deep into the lungs. Salt particles are also absorbed by the skin.
When your session is over, you may notice a trace of salt on your lips, and a taste of salt on your tongue. Any salt on your clothing can be easily brushed off. A runny nose or an 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 no side effects. According to the Salt Therapy Association (STA), many people who undergo halotherapy as a regular complementary treatment find relief from a variety of respiratory conditions such as:

Asthma
Chronic Bronchitis
Coughs, Colds & Flu
Emphysema
Sinus Infections
COPD
Cystic Fibrosis
Allergies/Hay Fever
Ear Infections
Snoring & Sleeping Problems

Dry Salt Therapy is also extremely beneficial to your skin in treating:

Acne
Psoriasis
Eczema

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

Stress
Anxiety
Fatigue

How Does Halotherapy/Dry Salt Therapy Work?
3 FUNDAMENTALS OF DRY SALT THERAPY

Super Absorbent: Dry salt acts like a sponge attracting foreign substances. It cleans the respiratory system and skin by absorbing the build-up of foreign elements. These elements are then coughed up or naturally expelled by the body.

Anti-Inflammatory: Inhaled dry salt particles may help to reduce inflammation and widen airway passages. A clean respiratory system results in better oxygen intake, increased energy, and an improved immune system.

Anti-Bacterial: Dry salt particles act as an anti-bacterial agent, dissolving bacteria and countless pollutants throughout the respiratory tract and skin. Again, these are then either coughed up or expelled by the body.
