Why Salt & Infrared Sauna Create the Ultimate Wellness Combo

The HaloSauna from Halotherapy Solutions is the only product on the market that integrates dry salt and infrared sauna therapy in the same unit, combining and amplifying the benefits of both modalities

Halotherapy Solutions gives users – and gyms looking to step up their recovery offerings – the best of both worlds when it comes to wellness – salt and sauna, to be exact.

Halotherapy Solutions’ stand-out product in this regard, the HaloSauna , also known as the HaloIR , is the only product on the market that integrates dry salt and infrared sauna therapy in the same unit, according to the brand.

“We spent years getting this product custom-engineered and have been selling it for four,” said Steven Spiro, CEO of Halotherapy Solutions . “It brings multiple modalities together synergistically in a relatively small footprint at a very reasonable cost.”

The HaloSauna separates itself from the pack not just with its unique combination of infrared sauna and salt therapy, but with its high-end utilization of both. The HaloSauna features far infrared light, which emits long-ranged infrared waves so no showers are required, making it the most efficient form of IR. But the full spectrum upgrade is an option.

The HaloSauna takes you on a 5-sensory journey, with its medical-grade chromotherapy, aromatherapy, guided meditation through Bluetooth, the deep warmth of the infrared, and the subtle taste of the salt on your lips.

The Unique Benefits of Salt x Sauna

Sauna and salt therapy combine to help with breathing with skin conditions, blood circulation, muscle recovery, pain relief, stress or anxiety relief, detoxification and weight loss.

“A core benefit is to help people breathe better naturally,” said Spiro. “It’s great for those with seasonal allergies, asthma, COPD, and bronchitis. It’s also great for athletes who want to have healthier lungs to help with training, performance and recovery. Another core benefit is helping with skin conditions like psoriasis or eczema since pure pharmaceutical salt is anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial.”

Importantly, salt and sauna therapy have coefficient effects, making the HaloSauna exponentially beneficial.

“The combination of the two modalities is synergistic as the heat of the infrared causes the lungs to expand allowing the salt to penetrate and impact a larger surface area,” Sprio explained. “As the pores on the skin open up with the heat, the salt then gets deeper to help with skin inflammation.”

The Wellness ‘Explosion’

Halotherapy reports it has tripled its business since 2021. The brand credits that growth to next-gen innovative products like the HaloSauna and the patented Vitality Booth Plus (RLT & Salt), as well as a post-pandemic surge in demand for wellness.

“The best way to describe the growth of these modalities in the last few years is explosive,” said Spiro. “While the pandemic was obviously devastating in so many ways, the one positive result was that individuals became much more aware of the importance of self-care and preventive health. This has been especially true regarding respiratory health, hygiene and immunity — significantly contributing to the dramatic growth of salt therapy.”

The shockwave of this “explosion” has forced health and wellness operators to change the way they think about their business and its offerings.

“With the demand for wellness growing, ‘typical’ wellness facilities began to add more modalities like we offer,” Spiro added. “Plus, and maybe more significantly, ‘non-traditional’ facilities are evolving to become more ‘wellness centers.’ We’ve seen huge growth in a variety of verticals like spas, gyms, tanning salons, yoga studios, wellness real estate communities, senior living, and more.”

Why Gyms Need Wellness

By giving members access to in-demand wellness amenities, gym and studio operators open the floodgates for new revenue streams. Through upgraded memberships or other points of access, operators can monetize Halotherapy products in a variety of ways, the brand says.

“If gyms are offering salt therapy, why not have it integrated with the very popular infrared sauna modality,” said Spiro. “If they are providing a sauna experience, why not add salt therapy as part of the experience? They will have happier, healthier customers and they will make more money.”

Gyms that already feature the  HaloSauna and other Halotherapy devices have already seen notable results.

“​​Based on our participation at IRSHA earlier this year, and the many one-on-one calls from gyms of all sizes since then, we are more convinced than ever that the HaloSauna is a necessary addition for gyms in 2024 and beyond,” said Spiro. “Feedback has been incredible as facilities are telling us they have existing customers coming back more often, and they’ve seen an increase in new customers — both contributing to significant revenue growth.”
