Halo/Air Salt Rooms in NYC

Twenty million years ago, an ocean covered what is now known as Eastern Europe. Once the seas dried up, salt was left 10 to 300 meters below the ground. This area below the surface became known as "salt caves." As they we never exposed to pollution above the ground, the air inside them was clean.

The air has been known to help clear the airwaves and revive the skin.

For the first time in the U.S. this micro-climate has been replicated and can be found in the salt rooms of Halo/Air. The rooms are completely covered in Ukrainian salt mined from 300 meters below the ground. The patented HaloGenerator creates humidity, filters the air, and grinds and atomizes the salt into air particles.

Lisa Mateo visited their facility in Chelsea to find out more about this alternative treatment. A single session (adults 60 minutes and children 30 minutes) is $99. A package of four runs $249.99 and a package of 14 costs $999.99.

Halo/Air is located at 133 W. 22nd Street. For more information log onto www.HaloAir.com or call (646) 666-0554.
