Breathe Through the Season: Halotherapy for Coughs, Colds & Flu
When cold and flu season rolls in, so do the sniffles, congestion, and lingering coughs. While rest, fluids, and over-the-counter remedies can help ease symptoms, there’s a natural, drug-free solution that supports your body’s healing process from the inside out: halotherapy.
Also known as dry salt therapy, halotherapy is gaining widespread attention for its ability to relieve acute respiratory infections and support long-term respiratory health. At Iris Love Wellness, we offer state-of-the-art halotherapy sessions designed to help you stay strong, breathe better, and recover faster.
How Halotherapy Works During Cold and Flu Season
Halotherapy disperses microscopic particles of pure salt into the air using a halogenerator. As you breathe in these salt-infused particles, they begin working on multiple levels:
Loosening mucus and phlegm
Reducing inflammation in the airways
Clearing sinuses and nasal passages
Killing airborne pathogens and bacteria
This makes halotherapy a powerful ally in soothing coughs, easing congestion, and helping your body naturally fight off respiratory infections.
What the Research Says
A study titled Halotherapy for Acute Respiratory Infections showed that regular sessions reduced the duration and severity of cold and flu symptoms. Participants reported fewer episodes of sore throat, nasal congestion, and persistent coughing.
Another research publication, Respiratory Hygiene in Health Resort Medicine (2006), highlighted the role of salt therapy in supporting immune defense, especially in community health and wellness centers. The salt aerosol was found to have a cleansing and protective effect on the respiratory tract, making it an ideal preventative and complementary therapy during peak infection seasons.
Safe for All Ages, Effective for All Stages
One of halotherapy's greatest advantages is its safety profile. It’s suitable for both children and adults and can be used preventatively or during the acute phase of illness. It’s also a non-invasive way to ease recovery from lingering coughs and sinus infections without medication side effects.
