What is Halotherapy?

Halotherapy is a completely natural technique that uses a saline environment to improve health. But it’s not just about breathing fresh air with a pinch of salt. The process is much more sophisticated. At ESPAI BO, the salt room is equipped with Halogenerators, devices that pump ecological salt in the form of microparticles throughout the room. This sterile space reproduces the microclimate of the salt mines, creating an environment conducive to recovery and well-being.

Halotherapy is especially known for its respiratory, dermatological and stress-relieving benefits. A session in the salt cave not only allows you to breathe better, but also relaxes your mind and body. Upon entering, you are immersed in a technology-free environment, without distractions, surrounded by quiet music and dim lights, which facilitates a total disconnection.

The salty air of the cave coats the airways with a thin layer of dry salt. This anti-inflammatory process facilitates the expulsion of congestion and improves breathing. Many people report that during the session they begin to cough, which is nothing more than the natural cleansing of the lungs in action. Respiratory conditions that can benefit from halotherapy include sinusitis, asthma, bronchitis and rhinitis. In addition, this technique is useful for those suffering from smoker’s cough, colds (in non-contagious stages) and allergies such as hay fever. The salt cave also helps relieve headaches, sore throats and ear infections.

For those who live in a city like Barcelona, where pollution is a problem, halotherapy can be a great ally. Cleansing the airways of smoke, dust and other allergens makes breathing in this environment a real luxury for the body.

The skin also benefits

It is not only the lungs that enjoy this saline environment. The skin also benefits greatly. The dry salt spray helps to improve the overall appearance and health of the skin, being especially effective in treating conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, acne and dry or irritated skin. One of the great advantages is that the salt cave is kept at a comfortable temperature, allowing treatments to be performed without discomfort. The salt particles improve the texture of the skin, making it smoother and revitalized. Users usually notice an improvement in the quality of their skin from the first sessions.

If you are an athlete or simply enjoy physical activity, halotherapy can become your best ally for recovery. Studies have shown that exposure to dry salt accelerates muscle recovery and helps cleanse the respiratory system, improving aerobic capacity and optimizing oxygen uptake. During exercise, the body produces free radicals that can damage tissues. Halotherapy combats these free radicals, promoting faster recovery after training. In addition, the antiviral and antibacterial properties of salt strengthen the immune system, protecting the body from possible infections.

A restful sleep

Sleeping well is essential for our physical and mental health. Salt, rich in negative ions, has a calming effect on the nervous system. This not only improves mood, but also helps you fall asleep faster and have a deeper rest. Many ESPAI BO salt cave users report that after a session they feel relaxed, less anxious and mentally refreshed. The feeling of well-being not only affects the body, but also the emotional state. In addition, by reducing inflammation in the airways, halotherapy is also an effective remedy to prevent snoring, improving the quality of sleep.

An oasis in Barcelona

ESPAI BO is not only a center for holistic therapies. It is a place where body and mind find a perfect balance, where a healthy lifestyle is encouraged. Halotherapy is just one of the many therapies they offer, but undoubtedly one of the most innovative and effective. The lack of technological distractions during the salt cave session allows you to reconnect with yourself. You don’t need to be an expert in meditation to enjoy the experience. You just need to lie down, relax and breathe. The combination of a sterile, pollutant-free environment and tranquil music creates a perfect space for introspection and calm. For those looking to improve their quality of life, alleviate respiratory ailments or simply find a space to relax in the midst of hectic city life, ESPAI BO’s salt cave is an experience not to be missed. Whether you are looking to improve your athletic performance, take care of your skin or simply unwind, halotherapy offers a natural and effective solution.

More than a therapy, a transforming experience
