What is halotherapy?

Halotherapy, or salt therapy, is a therapeutic and 100% natural, drug-free, non-invasive treatment of inhaling pure, dry, micronized salt air particles. These particles reach the deepest area of the lungs absorbing bacteria and pollutants and providing an anti-inflammatory and cleansing effect. This process supports and strengthens the body’s immune system by eliminating toxins and allergens that are trapped within the mucus lining of the respiratory system.

If salt is drying, how is this good for your skin?

The salt on the walls and floor are pharmaceutical grade sodium chloride and are actually a moisturizer, completely different than table salt. It helps condition the skin by absorption.

As a natural disinfectant, the salt is tasked with trying to clean the soles of the shoes.
