Although Halotherapy is new to the U.S., it is frequently used in many countries of Eastern Europe and all over the world as a natural alternative and complementary way of improving general wellness, respiratory issues, skin conditions, detoxification, athletic and musical performance. The Salt Therapy Association has compiled several research articles and studies posted below. We will be constantly adding new research, information, and feedback here and encourage all members to provide feedback as well.
