Halo Therapy

Halo Therapy (Salt Therapy)
Halo therapy, also known as dry salt therapy, uses pharmaceutical-grade salt dispersed into the air to support respiratory and skin health. At Float U Humboldt, halo therapy takes place in a controlled, calming environment designed to support breathing comfort, relaxation, and overall wellness without heat or physical exertion. Sessions are passive and accessible, making halo therapy an easy addition to a recovery-focused routine.

Who Halo Therapy Is For
Halo therapy is well suited for people seeking respiratory support, including those managing seasonal allergies, sinus congestion, or environmental irritants. It is also commonly used by individuals with asthma-like symptoms, frequent colds, or sensitivity to airborne triggers. Halo therapy may benefit people with certain skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis, as well as anyone looking for a gentle, low-impact wellness experience that supports breathing and relaxation.

Who Should Avoid Halo Therapy
If you have severe respiratory conditions, active lung infections, uncontrolled asthma, or allergies to salt aerosols. Individuals with fever or contagious illness should postpone sessions. If you have concerns or underlying health conditions, our team can help you determine whether halo therapy is appropriate for you.

What to Expect
Halo therapy sessions take place in a calm, seated environment where microscopic salt particles are released into the air. You simply relax and breathe normally while the session runs. A spa attendant will walk you through the process at the start of your appointment and answer any questions. Sessions are intentionally spaced to eliminate rushing and allow your body to settle before and after, supporting a relaxed and unpressured experience.

The Science Snapshot
Halo therapy works by dispersing fine, dry salt particles into the air, which are inhaled into the respiratory system. Salt has hygroscopic properties, meaning it can attract moisture, which may help thin mucus and support airway clearance. Research has explored salt therapy’s potential role in supporting respiratory comfort, reducing irritation, and creating an environment less favorable to airborne pathogens. Salt particles may also interact with the skin’s surface, supporting certain inflammatory skin conditions. While halo therapy is not a medical treatment, it is commonly used as a complementary wellness practice to support respiratory and skin health.
