Halotherapy, or salt therapy, involves breathing in air with medical grade salt particles to improve your breathing. Halotherapy is considered an alternative treatment for lung problems such as asthma, bronchitis, and cough. This therapy can also help you relax with the sensation of concentrated mineral energy within the room and may help with skin conditions and allergies.
The History of Halotherapy
In the 12th century, the practice of visiting salt caves for therapeutic reasons, or speleotherapy, was common in Eastern Europe. In the 1800s, salt miners in Poland found a more modern version of what’s now halotherapy. Despite working in mines all day, the Polish miners didn’t have any respiratory conditions and were unusually healthy. They weren’t likely to get the colds or coughs that were common among other people.
Research showed that the salty air the miners breathed helped keep their lungs free from infection and allergies. Over time, Eastern European salt mines or caves became popular tourist destinations. People from all over the world visited to inhale the salty air and ease their lung problems.

Dry methods
The dry method of halotherapy is usually done in a man-made “salt cave” that is an average of 35 to 40% humidity or less. The temperature is warm, set to an average 75°F during cooler months and under 70°F during warmer months . Our sessions are on average 40 minutes.
A device called a halogenerator grinds salt into microscopic particles and releases them into the air of the room. Once inhaled, these salt particles are claimed to absorb irritants, including allergens and toxins, from the respiratory system. Advocates say this process breaks up mucus and reduces inflammation, resulting in clear airways.
The salt particles are said to have a similar effect on your skin by absorbing bacteria and other impurities responsible for many skin conditions.
Salt is also said to produce negative ions. This theoretically causes your body to release more serotonin, one of the chemicals behind feelings of happiness. Many people use Himalayan salt lamps to get the benefits of negative ions at home. However, there’s no evidence that these lamps have any benefit other than adding ambience.

Energy Enhancement System
The EE System uses custom-built computers and screens arranged in a specific geometric pattern to generate an energy field that includes "scalar waves”. These waves along with light chromotherapy, Schuman resonance, create a zero point energy field that neutralizes EMFs and all negative frequencies that bombard the body everyday within our network of daily life.
When you sit or lie in this field, it begins to "charge" your cells, raising their electrical potential. This causes your cells to regenerate, detoxify and actually start to repair DNA to function better.
The system doesn't heal directly but creates an optimal setting of positive life enhancing energy for your body to repair itself.
Improves circulation, oxygenation, and immune function; reduces inflammation, pain, and stress; balances hemispheres for better focus and mood. Being within the field allows one to enter their brain state, enhancing a more meditative experience.
