WHAT ABOUT THE CONCERN THAT SALT IS BAD FOR YOU?
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.
WHAT TYPE OF SALT IS USED?
Not all salts are created equal. Only 99.99% Pure Grade Sodium Chloride (salt) is used with halogenerators, which are machines that crush and grind the salt into microscopic particles and disperse it into the booth. 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 of eliminating and removing all debris and contaminants. It is not processed with any additives or caking agents such as table salt. Other types of salts are often used as a decor element such as Himalayan salt, but only 99.99% Pure Grade Sodium Chloride is used in the halogenerator.
