The Term “Halotherapy” Comes from the Greek word “Halo” which means Salt.
At Saltitude, our cave uses a Halo-generator, a device that grinds and gently disperses pharmaceutical grade salt particles into the air. The halo-generator produces a dry salt aerosol concentration which is controlled using optoelectronic sensors within the room to maintain ideal conditions. At least 80% of the aerosolized salt particles disperesed measures less than 5 microns allowing for effortless absorption.
The cave’s microclimate is ionized and saturated with a low vapor concentration of highly dispersed Himalayan Salt which has been shown to have beneficial effects on the body. The pink Himalayan crystal salts on the walls and floor of the cave further enhance the experience and help to create a calm, relaxing environment.
Himalayan Salt naturally cleanses and detoxifies the body, it aids in water regulation, balances alkaline and acidity, aids in normalizing blood pressure, may reduce cravings, and is a natural stress reliever. Regular visits to the salt cave can be very advantageous.
There are approximately 84 natural elements found in Himalayan Salt that are absorbed by the body, a few of which are Iodine, Calcium, Magnesium, Bromine, Iron, Copper, Selenium, Potassium, Sodium and Chloride. These naturally occurring elements are very beneficial to health and well-being.
