​What is Behind the Science?
The HaloRed booth has roots in a NASA study that measured the effects of light waves on salt particles in the earth's atmosphere.
​
The translucent, multi-sided salt crystals in our system work by refracting light, creating billions of micro-bursts of red light, making it the most powerful and effective red light therapy available worldwide. During each session, red light waves energize and heat salt particles, enhancing their dryness and effectiveness beyond traditional halotherapy, offering a dual-benefit therapy unmatched in efficacy.
What is Red Light Therapy?
Red and near-infrared light are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and more specifically, part of the spectrum of light emitted by the sun. These wavelengths of light are “bioactive” in humans.
​
Red light between 600-700nm offer benefits for skin texture and tone, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, promoting collagen production and generally rejuvenating the appearance of skin and hair.
​
Near-infrared light (NIR) 700nm – 1100nm. penetrates deeper into the tissues to assist with wound healing, muscle recovery, nerve injury, and joint pain.

Red light therapy is thought to work by acting on the “power plant” in your body’s cells called mitochondria. With more energy, other cells can do their work more efficiently, such as repairing skin, boosting new cell growth, and enhancing skin rejuvenation. More specifically, certain cells absorb light wavelengths and are stimulated to work.
Red light therapy works in skin health to:
-
Stimulate collagen production, which gives skin its structure, strength and elasticity.
-
Increase fibroblast production, which makes collagen. Collagen is a component of connective tissue that builds skin.
-
Increase blood circulation to the tissue.
-
Reduce inflammation in cells.

​What is Halotherapy / Dry Salt Therapy?
Halotherapy, also known as dry Salt Therapy, is a fast-growing holistic approach that mimics the microclimate of a salt cave.
Clients breathe in the micro-sized salt particles, which are immediately transported to every part of the respiratory tract, even the smallest alveoli, and bronchioles. Then the dry salt molecules dissolve and attract small impurities, the reason why it is called the toothbrush of the lungs.
Salt therapy may eliminate the root of inflammatory respiratory illnesses in the lower and the upper tract like asthma, bronchitis as well as allergies, by destroying bacteria and restoring health and immunity.
How Does It Work?
Micro-sized salt particles are dispersed into an enclosed environment (room, bed, booth,cabin) through a unique process generated by a halogenerator. These less then 3 micron sized salt particles while creating an antibacterial environment draw out the excess moisture, the mucus and impurities that are in the airways and on the skin. Therefore it is essential to use a high quality halogenerator that produces the right size particles in order to achieve the desired results.
Benefits of Dry Salt Therapy
Respiratory →
-
Anti-microbial, Anti-bacterial, Anti-viral, and Anti-inflammatory
-
Opens the bronchial tubes in the lungs, helps to reduce inflammation in the sinuses & small airways
-
Breaks up and clears mucus
-
Increases PH level – reduces acidity
Skin →
-
Naturally triggers skin microcirculation and membrane activity
-
Enhances skin’s protective and reparative properties
-
Anti-microbial, Anti-bacterial
Athletic Performance →
-
Expands the airways for increased lung functions and capacity
-
Enhances performance
-
Increases oxygen saturation and exchange
-
Helps with muscle endurance and recovery
Ear Infection →
-
Halotherapy can greatly relieve the swelling and pain that is common with an ear infection by penetrating the ear canal with salt particles.
-
Salt as an anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory agent reduces the swelling of the tubes in your ear, allowing the fluid to drain.
-
Over 70% of children suffer from ear infection.
​
There are typically no side effects of salt therapy/halotherapy other than potential thirst. However, if someone is on any medications or suffers from any serious medical issue, please seek medical advice before any therapy.
