The Science
What is Halotherapy?
Halotherapy (salt therapy) involves breathing in professional-quality sodium chloride in a controlled environment — our Himalayan salt room. A halogenerator crushes pure salt into tiny particles (1–5 microns) that move through the respiratory tract and settle on the skin.
Salt is naturally anti-inflammatory and deeply cleansing. When inhaled, these micro-particles create a uniquely supportive environment for the airways and skin — promoting comfort, clarity, and ease of breathing.
Rooted in centuries of Eastern European speleotherapy (salt cave tradition), halotherapy has a growing body of research exploring its potential wellness benefits. Individual results vary, and SoliVana's sessions are offered as a complementary wellness experience, not a medical treatment.

Your Experience
What to Expect
01
Enter the Salt RoomYou'll recline in a comfortable chair in our private Himalayan salt room. The walls are lined with Himalayan salt. Wear comfortable, light-colored clothing — avoid heavily perfumed products before your session.
02
Breathe NormallySimply breathe naturally. The halogenerator disperses micro-particles of professional-quality salt into the air throughout the session. No special breathing technique required — just rest and relax.
03
Rest & NoticeMany clients notice a sense of deeper breathing within minutes. Some experience a brief period of increased mucus clearance after the session. This is a common response as the airways naturally clear, and typically passes quickly.
Optimal Protocol
Recommended Frequency
Respiratory Support3x per week for 4–6 weeks for those seeking consistent respiratory wellness support. If you have any lung, airway, or breathing health considerations, please consult your provider before booking. Individual results vary.
Skin Wellness2–3x per week alongside your existing skincare routine for those seeking skin wellness support. Salt micro-particles reach skin and scalp during each session. Consult your dermatologist if you have a skin condition.
Wellness MaintenanceOnce or twice a month for general immune support, stress relief, and respiratory tune-up — especially popular during seasonal transitions and winter months.
Why It Works
The Benefits of Halotherapy
Respiratory Wellness
Salt micro-particles create a naturally cleansing, anti-inflammatory environment in the airways. Many clients report a noticeable sense of openness and easier breathing after regular sessions. Individual results vary.
Skin Wellness
Deposited salt particles reach the skin during each session, creating a naturally supportive environment for skin comfort and tone. Many clients report a noticeable smoothness after sessions. Individual results vary.
Immune Support
The salt room's naturally cleansing environment supports the respiratory tract's defenses. Regular halotherapy is a popular seasonal wellness ritual among clients who prioritize immune resilience.
Nervous System Calm
The ionic microclimate of the salt room creates a deeply calming environment for the nervous system. Many clients experience profound relaxation during and after sessions — comparable to meditation.
Sinus & Airway Comfort
Salt micro-particles support the natural movement of mucus through the sinuses and airways. Many clients report improved sinus comfort after regular sessions. Individual results vary.
Breathing & Performance
Easy, comfortable breathing is foundational to physical performance and recovery. Halotherapy is a popular complementary wellness practice among athletes and active individuals seeking better breath capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is halotherapy safe for children?
Halotherapy is generally considered a gentle, natural wellness experience. However, if your child has a respiratory or skin condition, please consult their pediatrician before booking. We recommend children under 12 are accompanied by a parent or guardian during their session.
Will I taste or smell the salt?
You may notice a very subtle, faintly salty taste in the air. The concentration is far below any level that would cause discomfort. The room smells clean and neutral.
Can I do halotherapy if I have a respiratory infection?
Please wait until acute infections — such as flu, active COVID, or any illness with fever — have fully passed before booking. We want to protect both you and other guests. Halotherapy is best suited for ongoing wellness support, not acute illness.
Is it messy? Will salt get on my clothes?
The micro-particles are invisible and leave no visible residue on clothing. You may notice your skin feels slightly smoother after a session — the salt settles gently on exposed skin during your time in the room.
Can I combine halotherapy with float therapy?
Yes, and it's a wonderful pairing. Many clients do halotherapy before their float to promote relaxed, open breathing going into their session. Ask our team about combination session options.
Halotherapy pairs powerfully with SoliVana's other recovery modalities — Float Therapy, Fire & Ice, PEMF, and Bioenergetics — creating a complete respiratory, immune, and nervous system reset protocol.
