Do You Ingest the Salt in Our Salt Chamber?

Do You Ingest the Salt in Our Salt Chamber?

At Beach Cities Cryo, during a salt therapy session, the salt isn’t ingested in the traditional way. Instead, tiny salt particles are dispersed into the air, where they can be inhaled—a process known as Active Salt Therapy.

How Does Salt Therapy Work?

Using a halogenerator, pharmaceutical-grade salt is ground into fine particles and dispersed into a sauna-like chamber. These microscopic particles are inhaled into the respiratory system and absorbed by the skin, rather than being ingested through the digestive system. While some particles may settle on your lips or tongue, the focus of halotherapy is to inhale the salt-infused air.

Who Can Potentially Benefit From Salt Therapy?

The purpose of halotherapy is to potentially promote general wellness and respiratory support. Some people may experience relief from minor respiratory issues like asthma or allergies and feel improvements in skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis. Additionally, salt therapy seeks to enhance overall well-being by breathing in salt air, similar to the sensation of walking by the ocean on a breezy day when you might "taste" the salt in the air.

Potential Benefits of Salt Therapy

  • Respiratory Wellness: Breathing in salt air may help clear out impurities in the respiratory system, improving general lung function.
  • Skin Health: Salt particles may help cleanse and improve the skin’s condition by drawing out toxins.
  • Relaxation & Stress Relief: Many users find that a salt session leaves them feeling more relaxed, possibly due to the calm environment and the soothing effects of deep breathing.

Disclaimer: While many clients report positive experiences, it’s important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine if this type of therapy is right for you. Salt therapy is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition.
