Salt Therapy 101: Why Sitting in a Salt Chamber Isn't Just "Sitting Around"

Let’s Clear the Air — Literally
We get it. Sitting in a room made of salt sounds like something dreamed up in a health-nut’s basement. But salt therapy, also called halotherapy, is one of those quietly powerful wellness practices that’s been around longer than any of us — and science is finally catching up to what ancient healers already knew: breathing in pure, dry salt air can support your body’s natural cleanup system.
At Healing Souls, our Salt Chamber is built to do exactly that. A halogenerator grinds pharmaceutical-grade salt into tiny airborne particles — and as you breathe, those particles start doing their work where it counts most.
So, What Actually Happens in There?
Here’s the simple version:
Salt is naturally anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. It helps loosen up mucus, open airways, and reduce irritation.
On your skin, it’s calming and balancing. Salt draws out impurities and helps normalize oil production.
In your mind, it’s grounding. The stillness and soft lighting create a meditative, peaceful state — something we could all use more of.
You’re not just “breathing salt.” You’re letting your body re-learn how to exhale stress and absorb stillness.
How Often Should You Come In?
It depends on your goals — but here’s a general breakdown.
Respiratory Support (asthma, allergies, sinus issues)
2–3 times per week for
4–8 weeks
30–45 minutes
Think of it as a “reset” phase for your airways.
Skin Health (eczema, psoriasis, acne)
1–2 times per week
30–45 minutes
Salt helps draw out impurities over time.
General Wellness or Stress Relief
1 session weekly or biweekly
30–45 minutes
Perfect to maintain calm, especially during cold or allergy seasons.
Once you feel the benefits — clearer breathing, calmer energy, maybe even better sleep — you can taper to a maintenance schedule.
What to Expect
Before your session:
Just show up. Comfortable clothes are fine. Skip perfumes or heavy lotions — salt does its best work in clean air.
During your session:
Take a seat. Breathe normally. Some clients meditate, some nap, some just stare at the salt wall and zone out (highly recommended).
After your session:
Drink some water. You might notice a slightly dry throat or mild coughing — that’s your body clearing things out. Most clients feel lighter and calmer, like their lungs just got a fresh rinse.
Who Should Check with a Doctor First
We’re all about safety and transparency. If you have severe chronic lung disease, uncontrolled heart conditions, open wounds, active infections, or are pregnant, talk with your healthcare provider first. Salt therapy is meant to support, not replace, your medical care.
Why We Love It
We’ve seen clients come out of the chamber breathing easier, sleeping better, and smiling wider. It’s not magic — it’s chemistry and calm working together. And in a world that keeps getting louder, Salt Therapy For Better breathing and Skin
