Along the way, pioneering researchers learned many valuable facts about transforming a natural, yet difficult-to-access therapy.
Early attempts to replicate the salt-mine environment above ground revealed a fundamental fact: though scientists could recreate the look and feel of natural salt caves by encasing the interior surfaces of rooms in numerous layers of salt, these lab-created facilities did not convey the benefits of the underground mines. Researchers soon realized that they would need a technological solution to saturate the air with salt in concentrations similar to those found in salt mines. This led to the development of the first dry salt aerosol generator, or halogenerator.
Halogenerators grind salt into an ultra-fine powder, which is then dispersed as dry salt aerosol. Halomed researchers have developed Halomed halogenerators that do just that, plus they constantly monitor and control a salt room’s concentration of salt aerosol, and adjust aerosol output accordingly.
