Does your salt therapy provider adhere to industry standards?

The popularity of halotherapy, also known as dry salt therapy, has been steadily growing in recent years due to its ability to help people worldwide alleviate symptoms of various respiratory and skin conditions. However, not all facilities offer truly effective and safe halotherapy. Therefore, the Salt Therapy Association (STA), a non-profit organization in the United States, has established industry standards for halotherapy providers. Does your salt cave or wellness center adhere to these standards?

Key points of salt therapy standards

For genuine halotherapy, it is essential to use only pure pharmaceutical-grade sodium chloride that is certified for purity and quality. This ensures that the salt used is safe and effective in alleviating symptoms of respiratory and skin problems.

Sodium chloride, or dry salt, is inserted into a specialized device called a halogenerator, which grinds it into microscopic particles smaller than 5 microns. The smaller these salt particles are, the deeper they can penetrate the respiratory system and skin.

These miniature particles are then evenly dispersed into an enclosed space, such as a specialized room, cabin, or other type of chamber, which must be regularly ventilated. This ensures the optimal salt concentration to achieve the desired effectiveness of halotherapy. The minimum duration of therapy typically ranges from 10 to 45 minutes and is determined based on the cubic volume of this space.

Halotherapy customers often seek out the aesthetically pleasing environment enhanced by salt on the walls and floor or through various salt architectural or decorative elements. However, these aesthetic additions merely create a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. Unlike a halogenerator, they do not provide any direct therapeutic benefits and do not emit negative ions, even when heated.

Finally, according to STA standards, it is prohibited to claim that halotherapy is a cure for any health condition, declare therapeutic effects, or provide misleading statements to customers that could mistakenly motivate them to participate in halotherapy. While halotherapy can significantly help alleviate the symptoms of various health problems, it does not replace doctor-recommended treatment and prescribed medications.
