Hood River Salt Cave Salt Room for Halotherapy

Long COVID Treatment

Respiratory relief & improved lung function

  • Mucus thinning and airway clearing: Salt particles may thin mucus, helping open up airways and improve mucus clearance—benefits observed in chronic respiratory conditions.
  • Enhanced breathing and oxygen intake: Multiple salt centers report improved lung capacity, increased oxygenation, and easier breathing for post-COVID patients.
  • Reductions in inflammation: Salt therapy is suggested to have anti-inflammatory effects on the respiratory system, potentially easing long COVID–related inflammation

Support for overall well-being

  • Stress reduction & relaxation: The serene environment of salt rooms may help alleviate stress, fatigue, and even brain “fog”—common in long COVID

  • Immune boost & cleansing: Salt is claimed to have mild antimicrobial properties and to help “cleanse” the bronchi, aiding in respiratory hygiene
