Introduction to Salt Therapy

Chi Hong Tong TCM is the first to bring Salt Therapy into Singapore. Salt Therapy is available at all our Herbox TCM outlets by Chi Hong Tong. Salt therapy is the inhalation and exposure of the body to dry salt aerosols. The therapy is a completely natural, safe and clinically proven technique. The main effect of dry salt aerosols is to cleanse and disinfect the respiratory tract and skin. It is beneficial to your health and is suitable for asthmatics, people with frequent colds and similar problems.

Salt therapy works by systematically blowing micron particles of dry salt aerosols of pure rock salt into the salt chamber using the Halogenerator salt therapy device, thus creating the microclimate of a natural salt cave. Due to its physical and chemical properties, dry salt aerosols have very deep penetration and significant therapeutic effects. Dry salt aerosols in the salt chamber create an atmosphere that is sterile, bacteriostatic, and full of negative ions. The more negative ions there are, the more efficient the cell metabolism is.

  • How It Works

    • Pure salt is micronized and dispersed into a controlled environment
    • Inhalation of salt particles helps cleanse respiratory pathways
    • Anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties of salt support skin health
    • Negative ions from salt improve mood and reduce stress
  • Key Benefits

    • Natural respiratory relief for asthma/allergy sufferers
    • Detoxification for skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis)
    • Strengthened immune system
    • Stress reduction & improved sleep quality
    • Enhanced athletic recovery

FAQs

Is salt therapy scientifically proven?

Over 100 clinical studies validate its benefits for respiratory and skin health. The European Respiratory Journal (2019) confirmed significant improvement in asthma patients.

How quickly will I see results?

Most clients report:

  • Immediate: Relaxation, easier breathing
  • 3-5 sessions: Reduced allergy symptoms, clearer skin
  • Long-term: Fewer respiratory flare-ups (8-12 sessions)

Is it safe for children?

Yes! Children as young as 3 can benefit, particularly those with recurrent colds or eczema. Parental supervision required.

How does your salt differ from table salt?

We use 99% pure pharmaceutical-grade sodium chloride with no additives. Our salt generators maintain optimal particle size (1-5 microns).

Can I combine this with TCM treatments?

Absolutely! Salt therapy complements acupuncture, cupping, and herbal medicine by reducing inflammation and improving qi flow.

What precautions do you take?

Our salt rooms are naturally antimicrobial.

We:

  • Sterilize between sessions
  • Limit capacity for social distancing
  • Use medical-grade air filtration
