Salt therapy, often called halotherapy, is a wellness practice built around salt-rich environments or salt aerosol. Its modern popularity has led to a wide range of claims, but it is important to separate historical interest from conclusions about health outcomes.
What it involves
Some venues use a dry salt room or a salt aerosol system; others simply use salt décor. These are not equivalent experiences, and the presence of salt in a room does not by itself establish a particular effect.
What the evidence means
Research is limited and varies widely in design, setting and outcome measures. That does not support claims that salt therapy treats respiratory, skin or other medical conditions.
Practical considerations
If you choose to try a salt-room experience, check the venue’s hygiene, ventilation and safety information. Anyone with symptoms, a diagnosed condition or questions about suitability should seek advice from an appropriate healthcare professional.
