What Is Halotherapy?
Halotherapy, also known as salt therapy, relies on dry salt in a controlled environment to address various respiratory and skin conditions. It took its start from the salt mines and caves of Eastern Europe and found its way into modern wellness practices.

The salt particles are transported throughout the respiratory tract and dissolves to attract and draw out impurities.
