Welcome to the Place Inbetween
Mineola's first Natural Himalayan Salt Therapy Cave
Halotherapy is also known as dry salt therapy. Dry pure grade sodium chloride is ground into very tiny micro-particles in a special machine called a Halogenerator. These dry salt micro-particles are then dispersed into the salt room.
As you relax, particles are inhaled as well as land on the skin. The particles penetrate deep into the lungs, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli, as well as into the deep layers of the skin.
It is a holistic, drug free, natural therapy that promotes better breathing, healthier skin, sounder sleep, improved physical fitness, and over all wellness.

What is Halotherapy?
Halotherapy, also known as dry Salt Therapy, is a fast-growing holistic approach that mimics the microclimate of a salt cave. Clients breathe in the micro-sized salt particles, which are immediately transported to every part of the respiratory tract, even the smallest alveoli, and bronchioles. Then, the dry salt molecules dissolve and attract small impurities, the reason why it is called "the toothbrush of the lungs".
Salt therapy may eliminate the root of inflammatory respiratory illnesses in the lower and the upper tract like asthma, bronchitis as well as allergies, by destroying bacteria and restoring health and immunity.
When our immune systems are fully operational, we eliminate long term conditions within the entire body. Mental, physical, and emotional balance is then achieved.
How does Salt Therapy work?
Pharmaceutical-grade dry salt is crushed to approximately 0.1-2 micron-sized particles and dispersed into an enclosed environment with the use of a special machine called a Halogenerator.
These micron sized salt particles, while creating an antibacterial environment, draw out the excess moisture, mucus and impurities that are in your airways and skin.
