Salt therapy, or halotherapy, involves sitting in a room where a fine dry salt aerosol is dispersed into the air. Sessions are quiet and passive — you sit, you breathe, that is the whole of it.
Twenty to forty minutes, fully clothed. Some people notice a faint salt taste or a slightly dry throat afterwards. It is one of the easier things to slot into a day.
Halotherapy is often marketed with strong respiratory claims. The evidence is limited and mostly low quality, and we are not going to tell you it clears your lungs or strengthens your immune system. It is offered because guests find it restful.
If you have a respiratory diagnosis, this is a conversation to have with your own physician and ours — not a reason to come.
Anyone with asthma that is triggered by particulates, acute respiratory infection, active tuberculosis, or severe hypertension. Salt aerosol irritates some airways rather than soothing them, and that is worth finding out from your physician rather than in the room.
