Salt Room Halotherapy
Breathing can feel clearer, and sitting still in a quiet room is rest in itself. The salt is in the air, and all you do is breathe.

Salt fine enough to breathe
Halotherapy, or dry salt therapy, recreates something of the air inside a natural salt cave. A halogenerator releases fine particles of dry sodium chloride into the room, and as you breathe, some reach your upper and lower airways.
Dry salt is thought to draw moisture into mucus and loosen it for a while, though its exact effects and how often to come are not yet established.
The Himalayan salt bricks in the walls, lit from behind in white and rust red, give the room its warm light. The salt you breathe is separate.
Your visit
For 45 minutes you sit in a comfortable chair in your own clothes, breathing as you normally would. Read, meditate, work quietly or close your eyes. A mild salty taste or a tickle in the throat may come and go, and afterwards you carry on with your day.
- A short consultation comes first, about your health, your breathing and why you came.
- Allow a little extra time for it, and there is nothing else to prepare.
Is it right for you?
- Time away from the outside world
- Rest with no mask, tube or touch
- Mucus that feels slow to clear
Tell your doctor about asthma, COPD, cystic fibrosis, heart or kidney disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure or any ongoing condition before you book.
Afterwards
One session may leave your breathing clearer for a while, or bring no immediate change. Results vary.
Some people cough during or after as mucus moves, and sensitive airways can feel irritated for a time. If your chest tightens, you wheeze, feel dizzy or struggle to breathe, leave the room and tell us.
