Halotherapy is a 100% natural, drug-free therapy that takes place in a controlled environment with a high dispersion of negatively charged dry saline aerosol. This therapy is based on Speleotherapy, which involves prolonged exposure to the specific microclimate of natural salt caves and mines. The therapeutic method, which is patented, utilizes dry salt aerosol to provide relief from respiratory conditions, ENT problems, and skin allergies. Salt therapy delivered at specialized spas built inside salt caves or mines is traditionally referred to as Speleotherapy.

During a Halotherapy session, a Halogenerator disperses dry sodium chloride aerosol containing ultra-fine particles ranging from 1 to 5 micrometers in size. The negatively ionized salt particles are released into the Salt Therapy rooms, where larger particles settle in the nose and throat, while smaller ones penetrate deep into the lungs. The negative ionization of salt aerosol enhances its healing properties, making the air hypo-allergenic, hypo-bacterial, and incredibly light, allowing for effortless breathing. Salt, known for its powerful antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and mucolytic (mucus-loosening) properties, plays a vital role in clearing airways, reducing inflammation, and eliminating airborne pathogens like pollen and allergens. The dry salt aerosol, generated by a medical-grade Halogenerator, consists of approximately 80% repairable particles, which work to reduce bronchial inflammation, remove pathogens, and accelerate mucociliary movement—the body's natural mechanism to clear mucus and debris from the respiratory tract.

As a result, Halotherapy helps alleviate symptoms such as nasal congestion, chronic cough, asthma attacks, and sleep disturbances caused by respiratory conditions like COPD, asthma, sinusitis, and other lung diseases. Many patients who undergo Halotherapy report significant improvement in their symptoms and often find themselves reducing or even eliminating their dependence on antibiotics, corticosteroids, inhalers, antihistamines, and other medications—not because they are advised to stop but because their symptoms naturally subside.

Each session typically lasts about one hour, and the number of sessions required for noticeable and long-term benefits depends on the severity of the individual’s condition. While modern pharmaceuticals can provide temporary relief from chronic illnesses, they often come with serious side effects, especially with prolonged or repeated use. Continuous reliance on medications can lead to antibiotic resistance, allergic reactions, gut dysbiosis, and long-term immune system suppression. Halotherapy offers a safe, natural, and effective alternative to manage and improve respiratory health, ensuring long-term well-being without the risks associated with pharmaceutical drugs.

Salt has its own unique properties of sterility,
anti-inflammatory,
and anti-microbial
naturally. These are the factors which
accelerate wound-healing also. Once inhaled, ionised therapeutic salt particles help to clear the respiratory tract and its mucolytic action disintegrate mucous. The anti-inflammatory
qualities of salt also help to repair and
regenerate tissue, skin conditions, and inflammation of joints. The lung function improves, and it works in its fullest, as a result of Salt Therapy, the condition of compromised bronchi is restored,
breathing became easier and quality in function of breathing improves. This facilitates the normalization of other bodily systems. Due
to a fortified immune system, days of sickness will decrease and patients will become more resilient.In cases of asthma and croup, the inflammation causing spasms of the bronchus will cease and the passage of air through the bronchial tubes will normalise, leading to the reduction in attacks.

The dry sodium chloride (salt) aerosol has a considerable level of negative charge of the particles and this is leading to a negative
ionization of the air surrounding the salt ions. The inner surfaces of airways have a slight positive charge, negatively charged particles of
dry sodium chloride aerosol move in the lumen of respiratory tract and settle more intensely while neutral particles can’t achieve
the desired result. In addition, the negative charge increases aerosol stability and therapeutic action.

Some salt caves have a device that blows in aerosol before or during the session. In these cases, there is no sensor in the room, so the device cannot adjust the particle size or concentration. These devices also cannot personalize the air flow based on the room's size, shape, or the specific needs of patients with different respiratory conditions. As a result, the healing effect of a non-controlled microclimate is much lower than that of a controlled one.

At our facility, we use a laser sensor that collects data and sends real-time feedback to the device every second. This allows continuous adjustments to maintain a stable and efficient aerosol concentration, ensuring optimal health benefits for our patients.

The microclimate in The Salt Cave is three times cleaner than a sterile surgical room in a hospital, making it almost impossible to catch an infection during therapy. A stable hypoallergenic and hypo-bacterial environment is maintained in the therapy room.

Studies on microbial contamination during Halotherapy show that 1m³ contains only 90–200 saprophytic microorganisms, well below the WHO standard of less than 300 microbial bodies per m³ for air sterility.

Additionally, the 2 tons of salt in the cave naturally neutralize bacteria. Even if any bacteria manage to enter, the 15-minute ventilation process after each session ensures they are completely removed from the space.

The humidity has to be in proper range in the room at all times. If the air is too dry or too humid the efficiency of the therapy will drop
as the particles cannot get into the smallest parts of the lungs (alveoli). This is why fountains or other water related appliances cannot be installed in a salt cave. The laser
sensor installed in the room monitors the humidity and temperature every second.

Unlike natural salt mines, our clinic features an artificial "Salt Cave" equipped with a state-of-the-art halogenerator, creating a controlled environment where the concentration of salt aerosol, temperature, and humidity remain constant. The size of the salt aerosol is carefully regulated, allowing it to penetrate even the smallest bronchioles. A high-tech laser sensor continuously monitors the aerosol size every second, transmitting real-time data to the halogenerator, which then optimizes the necessary conditions for effective therapy. The air in our Salt Cave is hypo-microbial, allergen-free, and saturated with dry sodium chloride aerosol, ensuring a clean and therapeutic atmosphere.

Each session in our Salt Cave lasts 60 minutes, with the number of sessions tailored to the patient’s specific health condition to maximize benefits in this carefully controlled setting. In contrast, natural salt caves require individuals to spend 2–3 hours a day for extended periods, where humidity and temperature fluctuate, making the therapeutic effects less predictable.

Healthy individuals or those seeking preventive care can benefit from daily exposure to the salt atmosphere for approximately 30–60 minutes per session. For optimal results in prevention and body mineralization, it is recommended to undergo therapy for 5–7 days each month over several months or as needed, based on a clinical evaluation by our doctors. Countries such as Romania, Poland, Austria, and Germany have successfully implemented Salt Therapy, with patients experiencing easier breathing, improved lung function, and relief from symptoms like sneezing, coughing, and shortness of breath, while significantly reducing their dependence on prescription medications.

Salt Therapy at our Salt Cave replicates the natural salt environment found in Central and Eastern European salt mines, allowing patients to experience noticeable improvements in as little as 7 to 30 days. This therapy effectively treats a variety of conditions, including allergies, respiratory and ENT complaints, skin conditions, childhood health issues, age-related ailments, and smoking-related concerns, including secondary smoking effects. Additionally, it enhances sports performance, helps with multi-chemical sensitivity syndrome, and aids in sleep disorders. Patients often report feeling stress-free, completely relaxed, revitalized, and rejuvenated after therapy.

For different conditions, the recommended duration ranges from 30 to 60 minutes per session for 14 to 24 days to achieve optimal health benefits. This therapy can also be combined with other treatments for enhanced results. While excessive salt intake in the diet may have negative effects, inhaling dry salt aerosol in a controlled environment benefits the lungs by reducing inflammation, clearing mucus, and preventing infections. Particularly during seasonal transitions when the body is more susceptible to illness, Salt Therapy can be repeated under medical supervision to maintain respiratory health and overall well-being.

Since the 1940s, doctors have recognized the effectiveness of Speleotherapy—treatment in natural salt caves—as a successful method for managing respiratory conditions. Thousands of patients in Canada, Russia, Hungary, Romania, Poland, Austria, and Germany have benefited from this therapy, experiencing easier breathing, improved lung function, and relief from symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. Additionally, many patients have reported a significant reduction in their reliance on prescription medications after undergoing treatment. Salt Therapy at our Salt Cave replicates the natural salt environment found in Central and Eastern European salt mines, offering a controlled and optimized setting for respiratory healing. Patients can expect noticeable improvements in as little as 7 to 30 days, making it an effective and natural solution for respiratory health and overall well-being.

Eating too much salt is associated with high blood pressure, which can increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes. However, Salt Therapy involves inhaling dry saline aerosol into the respiratory system, not consuming it, so it does not affect the stomach, heart, or kidneys. The salt concentration in the Salt Cave ranges from 1-10 mg/m³, which is significantly lower than the recommended daily salt intake for adults (6g/day). This means that the amount of salt entering the respiratory system is minimal. Even if ingested instead of inhaled, this small amount would not cause any health concerns.

The natural self-defense mechanism of the respiratory system is not fully developed before the age of 9. During this period, even larger pollution particles can reach children's lungs since their cilia are not yet efficient at filtering them out. Additionally, children are shorter and breathe air closer to the ground, where pollution levels are higher. Their faster heart rate requires more oxygen, causing them to breathe more frequently than adults. As a result, they inhale more polluted air while having an underdeveloped filtering system, making them more vulnerable to respiratory issues.

Salt Therapy is a 100% drug-free treatment with no artificial elements, making it suitable for children of any age, even as young as one month old. Children respond to the therapy quickly and effectively. It is completely safe! Dealing with flu and colds in infants and small children can be challenging, but Halotherapy provides real relief by opening and clearing the airways, easing nasal congestion, and improving sleep. It also strengthens immunity, increasing resistance to flu and colds while promoting faster recovery. Additionally, Halotherapy is safe and beneficial for pregnant women. However, for babies under six months old, we strongly recommend seeking medical supervision from our doctors before starting the therapy.

Many people have noticed that they sleep better after the Halotherapy session. This is because it helps in clearing and widening all the airways and sinuses, leading to easier breathing and proper oxygenation of blood. When you wake-up in the morning you'll feel refreshed and more clear mind.

In the auditory tube, oedema of the Eustachian tube mucosa is very common, causing obstruction and otitis media. Halotherapy helps in reducing it naturally without pain and the symptoms will be diminished, leading to widening of the airway passages, better drainage of the secretions & better aeration behind the tympanic membrane. The inhaled aerosol, which has anti-inflammatory, bactericidal bacteriostatic properties will help.

For many snorers, it has been noticed that they don't snore as loud as before or they stop snoring. The sodium ion reduces the oedema and inflammation of oro-pharyngeal tract and soft palate, resulting in improvement and diminishing of snoring.

Yes! Because of its general healthy and hygienic effects.The therapy is recommended not only for people suffering from respiratory or skin or other problems, but also for healthy people to increase the immunity and the lung function. The therapy affects the flow of secretions of the respiratory passages and strengthens the movements of cilia, allowing the secretions to be removed and cleared quickly. Bringing an easier and comfortable breathing pattern. The Therapy frequently helps in clearing the nasal passages and sinuses diminishes the snoring and obtain a more relaxed and sound sleep and feel revitalised.

Salt Therapy is 100% natural, safe and drug free. It provides effective long-term relief from various illnesses. It can be used as a complementary treatment. The visible effects can be seen as soon as the first session. It boosts your immunity, its anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties clears congestions of sinuses, increases ciliary movements resulting movement of mucous much easier, Improve lung functions, resolve ENT problems, young & old age related problems, and skin problems giving healthy life.

The salty air will not harm your eyes because the salt micro particles are very small, under 5 microns with a majority under 1 micron; you cannot feel the salt into air or taste salty. Also, in Halotherapy, it has been noticed the allergen free micro environment helps to improve and lead to healthy skin due to bactericidal and bacteriostatic properties of the salt.

No! The salt micro particles are so small that won't be able to affect negatively a low-salt diet or if you have high blood pressure. When you breathe the aerosol, the total amount of the inhaled salt is extremely small (under 0.2g/day in the first 10 days of usage and under 0.1g/day in the first month). These quantities of salt reach the epithelium surface and are eliminated with the mucus. Considering this, it is estimated that the persons with salt restrictions, would have nothing to worry about. The action of natural salt is very low, but after ionising, salt’s therapeutic value is unleashed.

No, Not at all. The therapy is a complementary treatment and does not interact with any classical treatment, you can have all your prescribed medicines complications. without any

Salt therapy is a natural risk free complimentary treatment method, there are no serious side effects associated with repeated or prolonged use. While modern pharmaceuticals provide effective relief from diseases, continuous drug therapy is associated with the possible development of allergic or toxic reactions, development of antibiotic tolerant species of microorganisms and long term immune system destruction. To add up to this we are introducing additional alternative methods of treatments like homoeopathy, yoga, meditation, food and nutrition, acupressure, and acupuncture treatment for long term drug-free relief.

Halotherapy will definitely help you to get rid of your steroids and harmful drugs and improve your lung function along with improvement of your immunity giving you a drug free life. But, you have to consult our doctors before taking any steps like that. Though this therapy will drastically improve your health conditions and boost your immunity, it is not advisable to stop your medications in early stages even if you get good results.

If one is having acute outburst of Infections accompanied by fever, severe high blood pressure, Cancer, Renal Disease, Severe Heart Problems, Tuberculosis, Hyperthyroidism, and Cirrhosis, they are not good candidates for Salt Therapy. Consult our doctors for whether you are a proper candidate for the therapy.

Salt has the natural ability to balance the
positive charge by binding the excessive
positive ions with its negative ions. Therefore,
the neutralizing forces of salt can cancel out
positive charged and harmful electromagnetic
vibrations in our environment (electro-smog),
as well as in our body. Hence, salt therapy has
de-stressing, relaxing effects; it is beneficial for
calming the nervous system.
