Salt Therapy: Could Salt Be Your Secret to Better Breathing?

Ever struggle with congestion, allergies, or respiratory discomfort? Research suggests halotherapy (salt therapy) may offer significant benefits, including:

  • Improved respiratory function
  • Reduced inflammation in airways
  • Better sleep quality
  • Easier breathing

Why It Works:

During a salt therapy session, your body benefits from:

  • Natural antibacterial properties that help clear airways (like how gargling salt water soothes a sore throat - now imagine that for your whole respiratory system!)
  • Anti-inflammatory effects to calm irritated tissues
  • A deep cleanse that works from your nose to your lungs

The Ocean:

Have you ever noticed how refreshed you feel after spending a few days by the ocean? The salty breeze and sea air naturally cleanse and soothe your respiratory system. Salt therapy provides a similar experience, making it a great alternative when you can’t be near the beach.

Next-Level Therapy:

Many wellness studios now pair salt therapy with infrared sauna sessions. While salt particles target respiratory health, infrared heat boosts circulation and promotes detoxification (making it a powerful combination).

Getting Started Safely:

  • Sessions typically last 15–45 minutes (depending on whether you use it alone or with a sauna).
  • Start with one session to see how your body responds.
  • Avoid if you have a fever or infection.

This natural therapy might just be the breath of fresh air you've been looking for!
