Halotherapy for Asthma

How Salt Therapy (Halotherapy) Helps You Breathe Easier (Plus How Cryotherapy Supports Lung Health)

Asthma impacts millions of people worldwide, causing inflammation, tightness, and difficulty breathing. While traditional medical care remains important, many individuals are turning to natural, complementary therapies to support their respiratory health. One of the most effective and scientifically backed options is halotherapy, also known as dry salt therapy.

At Oasis Cryo and Health Spa, halotherapy is one of the most booked services for those looking to improve breathing, reduce respiratory irritation, increase O2 levels, and feel more open and clear in their airways.

What Is Halotherapy?

Halotherapy involves relaxing while a halogenerator disperses micro-sized particles of pure pharmaceutical-grade salt into the air. These tiny particles travel deep into the respiratory system, where they can reach the bronchi, sinuses, and even the smallest airways.

How Halotherapy Supports Asthma Relief

1. Reduces Inflammation

Salt is naturally anti-inflammatory. When inhaled in micro-particle form, it can help calm irritated airways—a primary challenge for individuals with asthma. Many people report feeling a noticeable sense of openness in their chest after a session.

2. Breaks Down Mucus for Easier Breathing

Asthma often involves thick, sticky mucus that restricts airflow. Salt is hydrophilic, meaning it attracts moisture and helps thin and loosen mucus- acting like an expectorant to get the junk out of your lungs. This supports better airway clearance, making breathing feel smoother and less strained.

3. Cleanses the Respiratory System

Salt is naturally antibacterial and antimicrobial. As you breathe in the salt aerosol, it helps:

• reduce airborne irritants

• cleanse the sinuses

• decrease allergen load

• clear pollutants and dust

This cleansing effect is especially beneficial for individuals who experience asthma flare-ups triggered by environmental or seasonal irritants.

• enhanced lung capacity

• reduced bronchial inflammation

• improved airway clearance

• reduced frequency of flare-ups

• improved quality of life

While not a cure, halotherapy can be a powerful, supportive wellness option.

What a Halotherapy Session Feels Like

During a session at Oasis, you simply relax while breathing naturally as salt microparticles circulate through the air. Sessions typically last 20–45 minutes.

Many people feel sinus relief immediately, with respiratory benefits increasing through consistent use.

Who Benefits from Halotherapy?

While asthma sufferers often see the biggest improvements, halotherapy also supports:

• allergies

• sinusitis

• bronchitis

• post-viral lung irritation

• chronic cough

• COPD

• athletes seeking enhanced airflow and recovery

• lung infections

• pharyngitis (throat infection)

• pneumonia

• tonsilitis

• skin Issues such as Eczema or Psoriasis

Use Halotherapy to beat those seasonal allergies, hay fever, stubborn cough, runny nose etc not just asthma.

How Cryotherapy Enhances Respiratory Wellness

Cryotherapy isn’t just for muscle recovery or pain relief—it also helps reduce whole-body inflammation, which can indirectly support improved breathing efficiency. Some additional benefits include:

• improved circulation and oxygen delivery

• reduced systemic inflammation

• reduced stress (a trigger for many asthma symptoms)

• improved recovery and energy

While cryotherapy does not treat asthma, its anti-inflammatory properties make it a powerful complement to halotherapy for overall wellness.

In conclusion

Halotherapy reduces airway inflammation, breaks up mucus, and improves breathing for individuals with asthma. It is a natural, non-invasive therapy that supports respiratory health. Cryotherapy complements this by reducing systemic inflammation and improving oxygen efficiency. Oasis Cryo and Health Spa offers halotherapy and cryotherapy as part of a comprehensive approach to lung health and overall wellness.
