Benefits of Salt Therapy (Halotherapy)
Halotherapy is a dry salt therapy that utilizes a halogenerator to grind and crush 99.99% Pure Grade Sodium Chloride (medical grade salt) into micronized particles that are dispersed into a salt room, salt cave, or salt chamber via a dry salt aerosol that works to aid respiratory concerns and skin conditions.
