Halotherapy - Himalayan Dry Salt Therapy

Halotherapy, also known as Dry Salt Therapy, is a holistic, multi-therapy approach for all ages for treating various respiratory conditions, skin disorders and allergies. It is also for people who are looking for an overall wellness therapy. Salt is a natural, safe ingredient. With HaloTherapy at Ziba Medical & Day Spa, we use pharmaceutical-grade rock salt, which is heated and becomes a very dry, pure and more kinetically active form of sodium chloride. Then, through a unique process generated by a halogenerator, the sodium chloride is crushed into micro-sized particles and dispersed into the air within an enclosed environment, mimicking the microclimate of a salt cave and ocean air, while releasing natural, negative ions that treat immune deficiencies, remove airborne pollution (pollens, dust particles, smoke) provide relief from asthma, allergies, and other respiratory conditions. This climate contributes to improved well-being, stress reduction, as well as numerous therapeutic respiratory and skin benefits. The multi-color LED chromotherapy lights treat insomnia, improve circulation, and improve the appearance of your skin through increased collagen and elastin production.

Not only is Halotherapy anti-bacterial, anti-imflammatory and anti-allergic, it is also immunity-boosting and helps prevent infections, with a multitude of health benefits:

• Improved Skin Health: In addition to entering the body through the respiratory system, salt is also absorbed through the skin. The warmth of the enclosed environment opens up the pores of the skin, allowing easy absorption of many minerals present in salt. HaloTherapy sessions increase blood flow under the skin and work to reduce inflammation, redness, swelling, itching and dryness which can also reduce the frequency and severity of eczema flare-ups, as well as acne, rosacea, skin allergies, fungal infections, dermatitis/rashes, wrinkles and aging skin.

• Respiratory Benefits: Himalayan salt air can help stimulate the respiratory system’s natural ability to reduce inflammation, clear blockages, fight infections and reduce discomfort; making it extremely beneficial for those suffering from asthma, allergies, bronchitis and coughs by clearing up the respiratory system. HaloTherapy is a natural expectorant and helps to clear mucus from your airways, improving lung infections, sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, cold or cough, rhinitis, COPD and other breathing problems due to smoking, cystic fibrosis, respiratory allergies, tonsillitis, post-COVID respiratory problems and many more!

• Mental Wellbeing & Stress Reduction: HaloTherapy increases the levels of serotonin which are widely thought to positively impact digestion, memory, sleep, appetite and mood. HaloTherapy generates negative ions which clean and purify the air, providing: improved mental health, reduced depression & enhanced mood, increased concentration, a calming sensation, decreased tension and stress, improved sleep, increased energy and less fatigue.

HALOTHERAPY RISK & SIDE EFFECTS: Minor side effects from HaloTherapy may occur, such as coughing or increased mucus secretion as the nasal passages begin to clear. This is normal and expected, especially if you are new to Halotherapy. Rarely, one may notice skin or eye irritation. AVOID HALOTHERAPY if you have: fever, severe heart problems, hyperthyroidism, uncontrolled high blood pressure, blood disorders, such as anemia, clotting or hemophilia; open wounds, respiratory failure, infectious diseases, claustrophobia or tuberculosis.

ATTIRE FOR HALOTHERAPY: Bring or wear comfortable  clothing. Your clothes will get dusted with salt mist, which can easily be brushed or washed off. Or, you may wear one of our robes during your session. We also provide shower caps if you would like to cover your hair during your session.
