“Dating back hundreds of years, halotherapy is a natural health treatment that utilizes the antibacterial and antimicrobial properties of salt. The treatment can take various forms, including a salt bath, a saltwater gargle, or even a visit to the beach, but recently this ancient treatment is popping up in the United States in a new way: centers that enable patrons to breathe in and sit in heavily salted air. The idea is that, through the natural processes of breathing and exposure, the salt reaches airways and helps to thin and expel mucous, while also resting on the skin and enabling healing of skin conditions.

The Salt Therapy Association says this treatment can relieve ailments such as asthma, allergies, bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, colds, cystic fibrosis, ear infections, and sinusitis, as well as skin conditions like acne, eczema, psoriasis, rashes, and rosacea.”
