Salt Room – Common Questions

Halogenerator Salt
For halotherapy, your halogenerator requires pure sodium chloride crystals without any impurities, or added anti-caking agents. This can be either pharmaceutical grade, or USP grade sodium chloride.
Himalayan Salt Sauna
Regardless of what type of sauna you have, it can be easily “upgraded” to a salt sauna, by the addition of pure Himalayan salt boulders and bricks throughout the room — including the walls, the ceiling, and the bench.
Winter Road Salt
Generally, an application of road salt will “run off” into streams or rivers, and incoming fresh water or rain will wash away any residue. However, the persistent application of road salt every season, year after year, can cause a build up of sodium and chloride in the environment which can become harmful in various ways.
