Halotherapy / Salt Room

Service Description

What is Salt Therapy? Dry Salt Therapy, also known as Halotherapy, is an ancient practice that harnesses the anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties of salt to promote health and healing, specifically for the respiratory, immune, and skin systems. The therapeutic inhalation of salt is made possible through the use of a halo-generator that disperses micro-sized salt particles into the air. Looking for relief from allergies, asthma, colds, stress, or skin conditions? BeWell houses the only therapeutic salt room in the Upper Peninsula. How Does Salt Therapy improve the respiratory system? Scientific research has found that inhaled dry salt particles have bactericide, mucokinetic, hydrophilic and anti-inflammatory properties, which may help to reduce inflammation in the entire respiratory tract and widen the airway passages. Dry salt particles are also known to accelerate the transportation of mucus, the elimination of residual tar and foreign allergens. A clean respiratory system naturally results in higher oxygen intake, increased energy and an improved immune system. What type of respiratory conditions may improve?

A therapeutic salt session lasts 30 minutes. The room is a normal, comfortable temperature. There are no special clothes needed. You can simply relax in a big, anti-gravity chair or on cushions on the floor. Read a book, take a nap, do an art project, chat with your friends, play with your kids, stretch your body… whatever you’d like.* Or you can receive a private session from any of our practitioners* in the salt room. BeWell’s salt room is unique in that we also have a 10,000 lux light-therapy box for those who want to combat winter darkness by feeling like they’re sitting under the sun. (Harmful UV light is filtered out) * Since part of the benefit of halotherapy are the (-) ions that counterbalance the excess of (+) ions we are exposed to in this electronic world we live in, we ask that you do NOT bring phones or electronic devices into the salt room. *Availability and approval dependent upon each practitioner.
