Halotherapy

DRY SALT THERAPY (aka Halotherapy) AT REVELATIONS HOLISTIC CENTER, DORVAL, QUEBEC

Come and experience the benefits of breathing in salt-infused air, without leaving town!    We are very pleased to offer this in Montreal’s West Island.   Originally practiced in Eastern Europe over a century ago, it is now popular all over Europe, Israel, North America, Australia, and many other countries.

WHAT EXACTLY IS HALOTHERAPY?

It is a unique and natural practice of inhaling dry salt aerosol,  created by a halo-generator which grinds pharmaceutical-grade 99.99% pure sodium chloride into precise micro-sized particles.  You are in an enclosed environment whereby the salt concentration is monitored and maintained at certain ‘parts per million’ settings.

WHAT DOES A SESSION LOOK LIKE?

You arrive 15 minutes before than your allotted time, fill out a consent form, and then get comfortable our beautiful salt booth, close your eyes, listen to soothing music, and breathe!  A beautiful, zen-like Salt Room is also available for a 45-minute mini-vacation, whereby you are reclined in one of our extremely comfortable zero-gravity chairs, covered by a soft blanket, and you close your eyes and drift away……and lastly, you can enjoy our Hand & Foot Detox corner, where you rest your hands and feet on our beautifully warm Himalayan salt domes for 30 minutes!

WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS?

To paraphrase Dr. Vladeva of the Medical University of Varna, during the session, certain side effects might be observed, such as increased coughing and more abundant secretion, which is actually considered a positive effect because it leads to respiratory tract clearing.  Skin irritations are rare side effects and are normally resolved by the third or fifth session.  Also, it is recommended to keep the eyes closed if eye irritation is experienced, (or to simply avoid the possibility).

CONTRAINDICATIONS?

Claustrophobia, hyperthyroidism, active tuberculosis, high-grade hypertension, cardiac insufficiency, cardiovascular and respiratory failure, acute-stage blood disorders, contagious diseases, fever, open wounds & sores, malignant diseases, late-stage lung cancer, and any other physical, mental or emotional acute issues.
