Discover the Healing Power of Salt Therapy
Imagine stepping into a softly glowing salt lounge, where the air feels pure and light and your breath begins to deepen with every inhale. A sense of peace washes over you as stress dissolves and your energy begins to restore itself. This is the essence of Halotherapy — a centuries-old natural remedy reimagined for modern wellness seekers, now available at Maison Esthétique Christiane Bourque Spa in Danvers, MA to help you breathe, relax, and restore your body naturally.
Whether you’re looking to ease congestion, support radiant skin, or simply escape into calm, Halotherapy offers an experience that’s as rejuvenating as it is restorative.
What Is Halotherapy?
Halotherapy, also known as dry salt therapy, is a holistic treatment that replicates the natural microclimate of Eastern European salt caves. For generations, people visited these caves to find relief from respiratory ailments, allergies, and skin conditions — noticing how deeply the salt air helped them breathe and heal.
At Maison Esthétique, our Halotherapy Salt Lounge brings this ancient practice into a serene, modern environment. The room’s halogenerator disperses pharmaceutical-grade salt particles into the air, creating a therapeutic environment that helps to cleanse the respiratory system, calm inflammation, and balance the body’s energy.
It’s a gentle, natural practice that promotes both physical and energetic renewal — a perfect complement to the spa’s holistic approach to beauty and wellness.
How Halotherapy Works
Our state-of-the-art salt lounge uses a medical-grade halogenerator that grinds pure sodium chloride into microscopic particles and circulates them throughout the air. As you inhale, these tiny salt crystals travel deep into your airways, helping to:
- Absorb moisture and mucus buildup
- Reduce inflammation in the lungs and sinuses
- Neutralize bacteria and allergens
- Improve overall oxygen exchange
The result is cleaner breathing, clearer skin, and a calm nervous system. Negative ions released by the salt naturally boost mood, enhance energy flow, and help the body reset from daily stress.
At Maison Esthétique, this is enhanced even further by our Oakworks Curva loungers, chromotherapy lighting, Himalayan salt wall, and SoVi sound-vibration system, creating a multi-sensory healing experience unlike any other.

What Studies Say About Halotherapy’s Effectiveness
While Halotherapy has gained immense popularity in wellness and holistic health circles, science is beginning to catch up with what ancient healers already knew.
A 2017 study published in the Journal of Aerosol Medicine and Pulmonary Drug Delivery found measurable improvements in airway clearance and mucus reduction among participants exposed to salt-rich air. Similar studies have shown benefits for individuals managing asthma, chronic bronchitis, and sinus conditions.
Although larger-scale research is ongoing, most experts agree that Halotherapy can be a valuable complementary therapy — offering measurable improvements in respiratory health, relaxation, and overall wellness when combined with a healthy lifestyle.
Who Should Try Halotherapy?
Halotherapy is safe, non-invasive, and ideal for anyone looking to feel lighter, calmer, and more energized. It’s particularly beneficial for:
- Allergy and sinus sufferers
- Those with mild asthma or respiratory inflammation
- Individuals with dry skin, eczema, or psoriasis
- Anyone seeking natural stress relief or emotional balance

It’s also an excellent add-on before or after a facial, massage, or body treatment to enhance detoxification and absorption of nutrients.
