Was ist Halotherapie?

Halotherapy is the practice of spending time in a room with a fine dry salt aerosol, inspired by the microclimate of natural salt caves.

From salt caves to salt rooms

Speleotherapy is the original practice of spending time in natural salt mines and caves. Halotherapy brings that idea indoors: a salt room recreates the cave atmosphere, and a halogenerator adds the salt aerosol in a controlled way.

What a halogenerator does

A halogenerator grinds pure salt without additives into a dry aerosol of particles between 0.3 and 5 µm and blows it into the room. In a salt room, the halogenerator is what creates the salt microclimate; a salt room without a working halogenerator is only a decorated room.

Controlled conditions

In a salt room the temperature, humidity and aerosol concentration can be kept constant. VivaSalt halogenerators work at an operating humidity below 60 %, and the concentration is set through programs or intensity levels.

A typical session

Sessions usually last 20 minutes for children and 40 minutes for adults, in a comfortable chair with soft light and quiet music. Operators of salt rooms set their own session plans.

Where it is used

Wellness and spa centres, hotels, salt rooms, homes, IR saunas and salt cabins, as well as stables and kennels with dedicated animal programs.
