The ability of salt rooms to resolve breathing issues, skin problems and infections has been touted for almost 200 years. But what does the science say?

● PASSIVE SALT ROOM

Search online and there's no shortage of breathless testimonials about salt rooms. Anecdotally, people say they're life-changing, especially when it comes to easing respiratory issues or infections.

When it comes to proven research, though... Well, let's just say there's not a salt mountain of scientific evidence to support the claims.
"Sometimes, it can be frustrating that there aren't enough well-designed studies looking at a particular treatment or the different study outcomes can be conflicting," notes functional medicine specialist Melissa Young, MD. "But that doesn't mean there isn't a potential benefit to that treatment."
Here's why people say they go to salt rooms. It looks like a salt cave, with controlled temperature and humidity.


Benefits of salt room therapy

Improved breathing
If you have trouble moving air in and out of your lungs, odds are, your condition is on someone's list of health issues that can be made better through halotherapy. Various sites claim salt rooms can help address:
● Asthma,
● Bronchitis,
● Chronic obstructive pulmonary lung disease (COPD),
● Cystic fibrosis,
● Respiratory allergies,
● Smoker's cough (also known as chronic cough).

So, how does this salty air make a difference? "Breathing in the salt particles appears to thin mucus, which allows your cough to be more productive and makes it easier to get phlegm out," explains Dr. Young. "It gets things moving. That's often key for people with breathing issues."
But there's just not a lot of rigorous research supporting the theory. "The data is mixed on halotherapy," says Dr. Young.

Fight infection
The idea of using salt to clear the gunk out of your sinuses isn't exactly groundbreaking. Saline sprays and rinses are go-to methods to rinse out your nose and sinuses for better breathing.
But does breathing in dry salt accomplish the same thing? Again, there's not enough research to verify the claim, says Dr. Young.

Healthier skin
Allowing salt-saturated air to flow over your body is said to naturally boost your skin's hydration, leaving it feeling smoother and looking less splotchy. There's a lot of chatter about balancing out pH levels and clearing up eczema, too.
Is it true? You can probably guess the answer. "We don't have scientific proof," says Dr. Young.

Stress reduction
A calm and dimly lit salt-filled room with soft music playing certainly presents itself as a setting ideal for meditation. "It's an environment where you could definitely calm your nervous system and reduce stress.
But the same could be said if you took out the salt component. "You could get the same effect without it," says Dr. Young.


Is a salt room worth trying?

Could a salt room be beneficial for you? "Maybe," says Dr. Young. "It's something that may be worth trying, especially if you have some breathing issues. But view it as an extra to your normal treatments ― not a replacement."

● ACTIVE SALT ROOM

This can be any room that is equipped with a special machine called a halogenerator, to which salt is added. The equipment breaks down the salt into tiny particles that circulate in the room.

Are there risks to visiting a salt room?
If you're relatively healthy, spending a session in a salt room shouldn't cause any issues, assures Dr. Young. However, she offers a few notes of caution.

You may cough more. All of those salt particles in the air may increase your coughing for a bit. "I've had patients go and say they ended up coughing a lot afterward," reports Dr. Young. "It's just something to be aware of."

No defined halotherapy standards. "It's the Wild West, with everyone doing it a different way," says Dr. Young. She suggests looking for a salt room in an office or spa where treatment is overseen by a medical professional.

It's not the same as medicine. Don't confuse a salt room session with medical care. "It is not a substitute for your medication," says Dr. Young.

● More information
Rich in therapeutic properties, Himalayan pink salt is believed to improve blood circulation, reduce blood pressure, detoxify the body, and eliminate heavy metals. Comprised of 84 elements and 200 chemical compounds, this salt is a natural wonder with a wealth of benefits.

Himalayan salt is chemically similar to table salt and additionally contains several mineral elements:
● 95-98% sodium chloride
● 2-4% potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur
● 0.01% fluoride
● 0.01% iodine

● It's good to know
Himalayan salt walls function as natural ionizers, emitting negatively charged ions that interact with positively charged particles in the air, such as bacteria, pollutants, and allergens, which we exhale.

Through this process, the negative ions bind to these positively charged particles, forming dense particles that are too heavy to remain suspended in the air.

As a result, the air is purified and cleared of potential respiratory irritants, making these salt walls even more effective than traditional Himalayan salt lamps. While salt lamps still have their place for their ambient and aesthetic value, the salt walls offer a more comprehensive air purification solution.
