Equine Halotherapy
Equine Salt Therapy
Dry salt therapy, also known as halotherapy, offers a non-invasive, drug-free complementary approach that can be incorporated into a horse's wider management and wellness routine.
At Natural Salt Therapy, we specialise in pharmaceutical-grade salt and professional halogenerator technology, helping equestrian facilities introduce dry salt therapy into their care and rehabilitation programmes.
How it works
What Is Equine Salt Therapy?
Equine salt therapy uses a specialist machine called a halogenerator to disperse microscopic particles of dry salt into the air. The horse then breathes in this salt-enriched air during a controlled session.
Unlike steam therapy or traditional saltwater treatments, dry salt therapy uses no added water to create the salt aerosol. Instead, the halogenerator processes dry salt into fine particles that can become airborne and be inhaled and therefore are more absorbent when travelling around the respiratory system.
Salt therapy is commonly explored as a complementary approach to supporting respiratory comfort and healthy skin condition in horses. It can be considered for horses across a range of disciplines, from leisure riding and eventing to racing, showjumping and professional equestrian sport.
The aim is to incorporate a carefully managed salt therapy session into the horse's existing care routine, alongside appropriate veterinary advice, good stable management, suitable ventilation and other established welfare practices.
Why it matters
Why Is Salt Therapy Beneficial for Horses?
A horse's respiratory system plays a vital role in its health, comfort and athletic performance. Horses are particularly exposed to airborne particles because of their environment, especially when stabled, exercising indoors or spending time around hay, bedding and dusty surfaces.
The skin is equally important, acting as a protective barrier against environmental irritants.
Dry salt therapy is an option worth exploring for facilities looking to complement their existing approach to equine wellbeing.
Benefits
How Salt Therapy Can Support Your Horse
01
Respiratory Support
Fine dry salt particles are breathed in during a session, offering a complementary way to support respiratory comfort, particularly for stabled horses around hay, bedding and dust.
02
Supporting Healthy Skin Condition
During a session, salt particles settle on the coat and skin, which may help support healthy skin condition alongside a good grooming and care routine.
03
Supporting Active and Performance Horses
Sessions can be planned around training and competition schedules as part of a wider care and recovery routine for horses in regular work.
04
A Non-Invasive, Drug-Free Complementary Approach
No medication and no added water are involved, so salt therapy can sit alongside veterinary advice and your existing stable management.
Our technology
Professional Dry Salt Therapy Technology for Equine Facilities
Introducing salt therapy to an equestrian facility requires more than simply adding salt to a room. The right equipment, appropriate salt, and a clear understanding of how the system operates are all important.
At Natural Salt Therapy, we supply and support specialist halogenerator technology, helping businesses explore how dry salt therapy can be incorporated into their facilities.
The IIRIS SaltEq halogenerator is designed for equine salt therapy applications, offering a specialist equipment option for facilities looking to establish a dedicated salt therapy environment.
Whether you're developing a new equine salt therapy space or exploring the equipment needed to expand your existing facilities, we can help you understand the considerations involved in selecting a suitable system.
