Salt Therapy (Halotherapy)

A 45-minute session in a dedicated salt therapy room where pharmaceutical-grade salt is dispersed into the air as a fine aerosol. Breathing this salt-enriched air may support respiratory health, skin conditions, and relaxation. Salt therapy (halotherapy) has roots in Eastern European spa traditions and is used as a complementary wellness modality.

Salt therapy — also known as halotherapy — involves sitting in a controlled environment where pharmaceutical-grade sodium chloride is ground into microscopic particles and dispersed into the air using a halogenerator. The resulting salt aerosol is inhaled during the session, allowing the fine salt particles to reach the respiratory tract. The practice has origins in Eastern European salt cave traditions, where workers in salt mines were observed to have fewer respiratory complaints than the general population. Modern halotherapy rooms replicate this environment in a controlled setting, with walls and floors often lined with Himalayan or Dead Sea salt to create an immersive atmosphere. Proponents of salt therapy suggest that the inhaled salt particles may support mucociliary clearance (the mechanism by which the respiratory tract removes mucus and trapped particles), reduce inflammation in the airways, and have mild antibacterial properties. Some individuals with conditions such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, sinusitis, or allergies report subjective improvement following salt therapy sessions, though the clinical evidence base varies in quality and the modality is considered complementary rather than a primary medical treatment. At House of Salt, the 45-minute session takes place in a dedicated salt therapy room. The relaxing environment — dim lighting, salt-lined walls, comfortable seating — also provides a meditative experience. At 300 DKK per session, salt therapy is one of the more affordable treatments on the menu and can be combined with other modalities such as HBOT or infrared sauna.
