Salt Therapy (Halotherapy) is a natural method of therapy used to support respiratory health and skin wellness. Why not try it out at our wellness centre outside Dungannon, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland.
Halotherapy is a well known natural salt therapy which involves breathing in air infused tiny salt particles. Our salt room is design to mimic the microclimate of natural salt caves. This natural method of therapy is to support respiratory health and skin wellness.
The lungs are the organ most exposed to external environmental factors. The surface area of the respiratory system is approximately 50-100 square metres and during the day we inhale on average 15,000 litres of air. The development of lung diseases is closely related to the deterioration of the ecological situation and the increasing spread of infectious agents.
Microbes, viruses, industrial and domestic dust, car exhaust fumes, cigarette smoke, dust, mold fungi and others are a huge mass of harmful substances constantly entering the lungs during breathing.
Halotherapy is considered beneficial because it provides a natural, non-invasive way to support respiratory health, skin conditions and overall well-being. Many people use it as a complementary therapy for various health concerns.
Our halogenerator dispenses fine salt particles into the air in controlled environment and our clients will sit in a specially design room where you relax and breath in the salt-infused air. This is type of Halotherapy is called - Dry Halotherapy
During the treatment session, thanks to calm music and comfortable armchairs, there is a relaxing atmosphere. The therapeutic aerosol has a beneficial effect on the respiratory system and skin. Many people like to stay in the salt therapy room in light clothing so that the halotherapy session can have a positive effect on the largest possible area of the body.
We organise special treatments for children, where music or fairy tales are played, and the salt on the floor can be used for playing, like sand on a beach.
Respiratory Health - Salt particles help clear mucus and reduce inflammation in the airways. It acts as natural antibacterial helping to cleanse the respiratory system and reduce allergy symptoms, and can lead to improvement of lung function and breathing capacity, particularly for individuals exposed to pollution or smoking.
