HALOTHERAPY<br />

& RESPIRATORY WELLNESS<br />

Over the last 5 years, we have seen a slow, and steady increase of<br />

salt therapy/halotherapy facilities opening up, as well as spa and<br />

wellness properties adding halotherapy to their existing facilities.<br />

Driven by the pandemic, individuals are concerned about their<br />

respiratory health, hygiene and immunity and salt therapy is now<br />

in high demand. The industry is also experiencing a shortage of<br />

staff, so adding touchless wellness experiences that build healthier<br />

immune systems is a great option. As Tammy Pahel, VP Carillon<br />

Resort, <strong>Spa</strong> & <strong>Wellness</strong> Operations says “Halotherapy has become<br />

one of the most sought after treatments since we’ve reopened”.<br />

We also see the industry moving away from the traditional large<br />

salt rooms and caves to smaller, private enclosures. People<br />

don’t feel comfortable sitting with 5-7 others, and prefer<br />

to pay for private 20-minute sessions. Another<br />

trend is the combination of halotherapy<br />

with other popular modalities, such<br />

as halotherapy with far infrared<br />

and halotherapy with red<br />

light therapy. The GWI<br />

‘Exploring Salt &<br />

Halotherapy<br />

Initiative’ has just begun research on the impact of halotherapy on<br />

long covid, to be published in 2022. Initial results are positive and<br />

uplifting!<br />

Halotherapy and the importance of respiratory wellness is here to<br />

stay and has become a must have for spa and wellness businesses.<br />

Resort spa guests have often been breathing ‘airplane air’ for hours<br />

and may have been exposed to uncommon allergens. Resorts can<br />

offer guests a short halotherapy experience on arrival, followed by<br />

sessions every 3-4 days during their stay. In day spas, the local<br />

community can benefit by treating chronic respiratory illnesses and<br />

seasonal allergies while athletes can improve their performance and<br />

recovery, and the general public can support their respiratory<br />

immunity. Day spas typically offer multi-visit<br />

halotherapy packages or combination<br />

treatment packages as part<br />

of their spa menu.<br />
