A halogenerator is a specific type of technological equipment that is used to create an effective modality of providing dry salt therapy. A halogenerator is the most important piece of equipment that providers of halotherapy utilize in transforming a chamber into a salt room.
How Does a Halogenerator work?
Yes, a halogenerator is needed for dry salt therapy (halotherapy). If there is no halogenerator, there is no halotherapy. The halogenerator takes pure grade sodium chloride and grinds, crushes, and disperses it in a salt room or SALT Booth®. Thus, the halogenerator is the most essential part of a therapeutic salt room.
That salt is then inhaled to combat respiratory conditions and absorbed by the skin to help with skin issues.
The only salt to be used in dry salt therapy (halotherapy) is pure grade sodium chloride. Salts such as Himalayan salt and dead seas salt have no respiratory benefits and should only be used as decor.
Only salt rooms that provide active halotherapy have halogenerators.
All salts are not created equal! There are a variety of types of salts being used in salt rooms including Dead Sea, Mediterranean, Himalayan, Regular Sea Salt, different blends, and pharmaceutical grade salt. Salt is used as décor and salt is used in halogenerators.
Dead sea salt, Mediterranean salts, salt blends, etc… often have trace elements and various mineral content. Depending on the region where the salt is cultivated, there could also be some moisture, clay, and dirt particles that when crushed and ground, could harm the components inside the halogenerator. Likewise, people who have certain respiratory issues could have some adverse effect or reactions to some salts.
All of the validated clinical studies and scientific research for halotherapy involve using pharmaceutical grade salt in the halogenerator. Therefore, S.A.L.T. Chamber, Inc. highly recommends only using pharmaceutical salt for our halogenerators.
The salt on walls and floors do not inherently provide any therapeutic value, except that Himalayan salt in its natural form as bricks or panels, does provide some electrolyzed ions that add to the therapeutic benefit of the treatments.
The most important aspect of providing effective dry salt therapy is utilizing a reliable and programmable halogenerator. With just a halogenerator, you can provide effective salt therapy in a climate-controlled space. However, the space does not have to be a room where multiple people sit for a 45-60 minute session. Specific halogenerators have been designed for other delivery methods such as a SALT Booth®, which is designed for individual or two-person usage.
Because the volume of airspace in this type of chamber is much smaller and the concentration levels of the salt from the halogenerator can be adjusted, the sessions in these type of units are significantly less and range from 10-20 minutes per session.
These units can simply be plugged into a standard wall outlet and be used right away. There are no other factors that need to be considered such as the construction, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, exhaust, or anything else! These types of units can easily fit into small spaces. These can be an attractive alternative given the costs of these units compared to building a salt room is relatively small. Likewise, many customers enjoy the privacy, personalized settings of the session, and the time convenience.
There are no special requirements for installing a Halogenerator. There are, however, special factors to consider for designing and building an effective salt room such as:
