A HaloGenerator is a device that grinds pharmaceutical grade rock salt into microscopic particles and then disperses them into the surrounding air.  It is the basic component of salt rooms and halotherapy.  This dry salt mist is said to be beneficial to a wide range of respiratory ailments.

Those who use salt inhalation therapy say that it attracts the water in our airways to dilute the mucus collections, making it easier to expectorate phlegm. This promotes better breathing and relieves symptoms of COPD.

Salt inhalation therapy attracts the water in our breathing passages which helps dilute the mucus collected there.  This makes it easier to clear the lungs and breathe and provides relief from asthma symptoms. 

Absolutely. This is precisely the reason we created Sauna Zen. We believe that many spa type treatments such as salt therapy, float therapy and sauna therapy are more effective when done in the comfort and privacy of your home where they can be scheduled to your convenience and not be adversely affected by driving to and from a spa.

Halotherapy (Halo means salt in Greek) involves using a HaloGenerator to create a dry mist of microscopic salt particles. This dry mist is inhaled where salts natural anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and astringent properties can aid in clearing the respiratory system.

In theory, you can place your HaloGenerator anywhere you want to. In reality, you need to consider a few things before you decide where to put it. Your HaloGenerator will distribute an ultra-fine salt mist in the surrounding air when in use. This mist will settle and over time you will be left with a covering of salt residue on anything in the area. Not only is this unattractive, but it can be a real pain to clean up, and it certainly doesn’t do electronics or anything metallic any favors.

HaloGenerators grind or crush pharmaceutical salt into microscopic particles (0.5 microns to 10 microns). These particles, about the size of a bacteria cell, are invisible to the naked eye. After grinding the salt to size, the halo generator then uses a fan or blower to disperse these salt particles as a dry mist.

Halo Therapy is the inhalation of the dry salt mist created by a HaloGenerator. This therapy makes use of the natural anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and astringent properties of salt to relieve respiratory problems. It is a natural, drug free, holistic therapy designed to benefit respiratory conditions like asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, snoring and sinusitis.

Depending on your HaloGenerator, and how long you choose for your Halo Therapy sessions to last, ten pounds of pharmaceutical grade salt should be sufficient for at least 100 sessions.

You should only use pharmaceutical grade salt. This is the only form of salt that will dissolve 100% in water so it doesn’t stay in the lungs. As much as we love our Himalayan salt, the very minerals that give rise to the fabulous colors in Himalayan salt crystals won’t dissolve in water and they will remain in your respiratory system.
