Frequently Asked Questions

     What are Halotherapy (salt aerosol) treatments?
     Halotherapy (salt aerosol) treatments produce an antibacterial environment of micro-
        particles which destroys the bacteria and fungi found on mucosa. At the same time they
        are shown to strengthen the body's immune system

        rhinitis -  which often completely disappears
        
        Halotherapy treatments are particularly effective at soothing the body's nervous
        system. Their saturation of negative ions counteract the positive ions produced by
        electronic devises, helping to restore the body's natural balance and thereby relieving
        stress as well as anxiety
