If you’ve ever visited our salt therapy studio, you may have noticed the white device mounted on the wall of the salt cabin – the halogenerator. This seemingly modest device is actually a key component of salt therapy, as simply having salt bricks or other decorative elements in the room isn’t enough to achieve therapeutic benefits. For effective therapy, it’s essential for the halogenerator to grind salt crystals into minuscule particles, approximately 0.1–2 microns in size.
Why are microscopic particles important?
Only microscopic particles can penetrate deep into the lungs, where they effectively alleviate symptoms of respiratory and skin diseases such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, COPD, cystic fibrosis, eczema, psoriasis, and many others. Larger salt particles, on the other hand, settle in the upper respiratory tract or are not inhaled at all. Therefore, they often end up on the floor of the salt room, significantly reducing the effectiveness of halotherapy.
How are the particles dispersed throughout the cabin?
To ensure even distribution of microscopic salt particles throughout the entire cabin, a so-called salt deflector is located on the inner wall of the cabin, opposite the halogenerator. This element separates larger particles from smaller ones and ensures their even distribution throughout the cabin. In this way, the conditions for effective inhalation of salt microparticles are optimized, the risk of mucosal irritation is minimized, and the overall effectiveness of the therapy is increased.
Halogenerator: Guarantee of effective salt therapy
So, the next time you see a halogenerator on the wall of a salt room, remember that it is the one that transforms ordinary salt into a fine aerosol that you inhale. Thanks to it, your airways will be cleansed, you will be relieved of cough and other ailments, and you will feel refreshed and relaxed.
