Service Description

The Indiana Holistic Center offers Halotherapy in a custom built salt cabin (and can also be set for far-infrared therapy, as well as a sauna. Halotherapy is an exposure to kinetically-activated dry salt where the micro-sized particles are being inhaled while the large salt particles are spread on the top of the skin. Since dry salt is antibacterial and super-absorbent, it actively kills bacteria and reduces the inflammation in the respiratory system; it also improves skin conditions such as: psoriasis, eczema and itching. A device called a halogenerator grinds salt into microscopic particles and releases them into the air of the cabin. Once inhaled, these salt particles absorb irritants, including allergens and toxins, from the respiratory system. 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. Ancient healers and philosophers recommended salt inhalation for the respiratory system and health problems. Dry salt therapy originates from speleotherapy (cave therapy) and the Wieliczka salt cave in Poland, where workers exhibited fewer respiratory illnesses. There are thousands of salt rooms in Europe and beyond. The benefits of salt therapy are wide-ranging. Salt levels affect our cell activity, energy and blood sugar levels.
