Origins

Modern dry salt has its origin from the salt mine sand caves

in Europe and Russia. As the workers were mining the salt

(through chiseling, grinding and hammering at the salt), micro-

sized salt particles were being disbursed into the air. Additionally

there were ideal conditions below the Earth's surface where air

pressure and circulation and humidity and temperature affected

the quality of the environment. In this environment, miners were

receiving many natural health benefits by breathing in the salt

particles. Considering that mining jobs were usually recognized as

dangerous to life and health, salt miners seemed to thrive on good

health. They rarely had any respiratory issues and also looked

younger due to great skin appearance.

How It Works

Active dry salt therapy is simple to understand. There are three primary characteristics of pure sodium chloride, NaCl, know as salt:

 

1. Salt is super absorbent (especially when it is completely dry).

2. Salt is anti-bacterial.

3. Salt is anti-inflammatory.

​

This type if dry salt is placed into a halo generator that then grinds the salt into specific micro-sized particles and then disperses the salt aerosol into the air. As the salt travels in the salt booth, these salt particles of dry sodium chloride are inhaled into the respiratory system. The dry salt naturally starts absorbing antigens, toxins and foreign substances located in your lungs and throughout your respiratory tract. Dry salt may help to reduce inflammation and open airway passages. The micro-sized crystal structure of pure NaCl particles breaks loose and clears out all of the "bad stuff". This is the basis for how dry salt therapy can impact people suffering from respiratory conditions like allergies, asthma, bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, COPD and others.

​

The properties of dry salt also absorb impurities and provide anti-bacterial properties that benefit the skin such as acne, psoriasis and eczema as well as regulates the skin's micro-circulation. The smaller particles can reach beneath the skin's surface and absorb moisture towards the skin. The larger salt particles land on the skin and absorb any bacterial and foreign substances. The dry salt accelerates cell rejuvenation and improves skin rigidity.
