St. Petersburg, Russia is the birthplace of modern Salt Room Therapy (early 1990s). In 2013 we fine-tuned our knowledge about Halotherapy in Russia with the physician most responsible for its development, Alina Chervinskaya, MD.

While Salt Room Therapy is a MUST for anyone with chronic lung/sinus conditions, it is also widely used by athletes, singers and many others who depend on outstanding respiratory function.

To clear up a misconception about Salt Therapy, the Salt Room is not hot like a sauna nor excessively humid. The tempurature is between 72-74 F and the humidity between 45-55%. Any clothing can be worn, though loose fitting is best when possible. You may want to bring additional layers if you tend to get cool at normal room temperatures.
A 45-MINUTE SALT THERAPY SESSION PROVIDES THE HEALTHFUL BENEFITS OF FOUR DAYS SPENT BY THE SEASIDE, AND THEN SOME!

ATHLETES - Outperform the competition when your lungs become able to absorb more oxygen...naturally.
Welcome to the Midwest's First Salt Therapy Center
You may not have heard of Halotherapy yet, but throughout the world it is quickly becoming one of the most popular ways to find relief from an array of health problems naturally, effectively and inexpensively. ‘Halos’ means salt in Greek, thus the name Halotherapy. Salt has had plenty of bad press lately, and rightly so. Conventional salt that we use daily has been responsible for numerous health problems. But in salt therapy, very small amounts of high quality salt, in the form of a completely natural dry mist, penetrate the deepest portions the lungs and the skin, where the greatest benefit is produced. We also take advantage of the negatively charged ions released by salt in our salt room that contains thousands of pounds of Dead Sea salt, known for its incredible healing powers, and also mineral rich Himalayan salt.
Introduction
Our salt room was constructed using the same technology of Halotherapy chambers that have been spreading across Europe and throughout the world for years, and only recently to the United States. Actually, salt has been used for thousands of years to effectively treat a long list of common ailments, but most notably asthma and psoriasis.
Back in the mid-1800s, it was discovered that people who worked in the salt mines of Poland had a remarkably low rate of respiratory illnesses. Soon within one of these salt mines a clinic was placed, which is still in operation today. In order to simulate the therapeutic effects within salt mines, artificial caves were constructed on the surface in mainly Eastern European countries, where people would visit routinely to breathe the air which was saturated with beneficial salt particles and negatively charged ions.
Recently engineers created a device called a Halo-generator, which not only simulates the conditions in salt mines, but accelerates the effect. A dry salt mist fills the air with particles ranging in size from .5 to 10 microns, which have been clinically proven to deliver the most optimal results.
For Adults and Children
Halotherapy is beneficial to people of all ages, and actually children often experience the greatest results. Separate sessions are offered for adults, who typically prefer a peaceful, relaxing and undisturbed atmosphere, and for children, where play and chatter is encouraged in the unique setting.

Salt Pipes and Salt Inhalers
We are occasionally asked about these. Before we opened our Salt Room, our daughter with asthma and allergies regularly used a Salitair Salt Inhaler, hoping for some results. But unfortunately we noticed nothing. Some people might report a slight positive effect from using these, but the quantity of salt, and particularly those particles of the optimum size for penetrating deep into the lungs, are just not present. Nor are the negative ions. Salt pipes and inhalers were developed due to the enormous success of salt caves and salt rooms, but they can by no means come close to the effect of real salt therapy, produced either by a huge quantity of salt (tons) and/or by the use of a high quality Halogenerator. None of the models we've looked at seem any more promising, including Solay Therapeutics or Solay Wellness inhalers / Cisca Salt Pipe / Himalayan Salt Crystal Inhaler or Higher Nature Saltpipe.
* More and more doctors in the St. Louis area are seeing their patients improve dramatically after Salt Room Therapy, and approve of its use.

How Salt Therapy Restores Respiratory Health
Medical Explanation From Wikipedia.org
(translated from the Russian)
Halotherapy is applied widely both in resort and medical facilities of Eastern Europe and Russia.
Tiny inhaled salt particles prevent the spread of microflora in the airways and prevent inflammatory processes. Adaptation to the specific micro-climate of the salt room is followed by activation of the sympatho-adrenal system, and strengthening of hormone production by endocrine organs. The quantity of phagocytic macrophages and T-lymphocytes increase; immunoglobulin A, G and E decrease; and the activity of lysosomes in the blood's serum increases. For patients with bronchial asthma, halotherapy provides a longer period of remission and transitions the patient to a lower degree of severity, which in turn creates the possibility of transitioning to smaller doses and more sparing forms of basic medicinal therapy.
-A.V. Chervinskaya, MD (2005)
