Halotherapy (Dry Salt Therapy)
Halotherapy, also known as, Dry Salt Therapy involves breathing in air infused with tiny, pharmaceutical-grade salt particles, which are immediately transported to every part of the respiratory tract, even the smallest alveoli, and bronchioles.
Then the dry salt molecules dissolve and attract small impurities, the reason why it is called the toothbrush of the lungs.
Salt therapy may eliminate the root of inflammatory respiratory illnesses in the lower and the upper tract like asthma, bronchitis as well as allergies, by destroying bacteria and restoring health and immunity.
