What is Halotherapy / Salt Therapy?

Halotherapy, or Salt Therapy, is a unique, natural, and safe alternative respiratory and skin treatment. A micro-climate mimicking the environment of a salt mine is created by our halogenerator, which produces high concentrations of salt air by grinding the crystals into tiny (0.3 microns) particles of dry pharmaceutical grade salt (NaCl) propelled into the air. The Himalayan salt on the floor and walls merely adds to the overall ionization, sanitation, and atmosphere of the salt room.

Can I smoke before my session?

The Salt Vault is an allergen-free facility. We take precautions to protect patrons with respiratory conditions from reacting negatively to strong odors such as pet and body odors, smoke, perfume etc. Halotherapy reduces inflammation to open airways and revives Paralyzed Cilia, so they can move mucus; things that smoking reverses. We ask clients to refrain from smoking at least an hour before attending their session. This will allow the salt to do its job without restraint, help avoid strong smells building up in the sealed micro-climate, and avoid negative respiratory reactions from other patrons in the session. Changing clothes or showering beforehand will help defend against strong pet and body odors and will free skin of dead cells. Thank you all for your help in keeping The Vault allergen-free!
