What is salt therapy (halotherapy)?
Halotherapy is also known as dry salt therapy. Dry pure grade sodium chloride is ground into very tiny micro-particles in a special machine called a Halogenerator. These dry salt micro-particles are then dispersed into the salt room. As you relax, particles are inhaled as well as land on the skin. The particles penetrate deep into the lungs, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli, as well as into the deep layers of the skin. It is a holistic, drug free, natural therapy and promotes better breathing, healthier skin, sounder sleep, improved physical fitness, and over all wellness.
How do you clean the salt rooms and make them safe and antibacterial?
At Bodhi Salt, we prioritize cleanliness and safety to provide a relaxing, healthy environment for all guests:
- Regular Air Filtration: Our advanced air filtration system purifies and circulates the air continuously, removing airborne particles, allergens, and dust.
- Sanitization and Disinfection: After each session, we sanitize all surfaces and seating areas using eco-friendly, antibacterial solutions that are safe for children and adults.
- Natural Antibacterial Properties of Salt: Salt is inherently antimicrobial, helping naturally purify the air and inhibitbacteria or mold growth on surfaces.
Our combined approach ensures a pristine, safe space where you can focus on wellness.
Should I come to the salt room with mild symptoms of cold and flu?
Yes, if you’re experiencing mild symptoms such as a runny nose, mild congestion, or a cough, salt therapy can provide relief. Here’s how:
- Reduces Congestion: Inhaling salt particles helps thin mucus and clear sinuses, promoting easier breathing.
- Supports Respiratory Health: Salt’s antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties soothe irritated airways and combat respiratory discomfort.
- Boosts Immunity: Regular sessions support immune function, especially during cold and flu season.
For mild symptoms, we recommend booking an individual session in one of our private wellness booths to ensure comfort for all guests. Booths are thoroughly sanitized after each session.
If you’re experiencing fever or mores evere symptoms, we kindly ask you to reschedule your visit for when you’re feeling better.
Why don’t you use a UV lamp in a salt room?
At Bodhi Salt, we rely on the natural antimicrobial properties of salt, which make UV lamps unnecessary:
- Salt Integrity: UV light can degrade ordis color salt over time, reducing its purity and therapeutic benefits.
- Natural Antibacterial Properties: Salt is inherently antifungal and antimicrobial, naturally purifying the air and surface swith in the salt room.
- Microclimate Purity: The dry, salt-rich air minimizes microorganisms, making the environment self-sustaining and hygienic without additional chemicals or UV light.
Our salt rooms are designed to provide the purest wellness experience without compromising the natural properties of salt.
