Purify your lungs. Calm your inflammation. Restore your resilience. Step into a medical-grade sanctuary designed to neutralize city pollution and strengthen your respiratory immunity, a grounding ritual in your “Look Fresh, Feel Strong, Live Long” journey.
Why Choose Apollo House for Salt Therapy
Living in New York City means your lungs are constantly filtering exhaust, particulate matter, and allergens. At Apollo House, we view the Salt Room not as a spa novelty, but as an essential tool for “Respiratory Hygiene.”
Medical Expertise First
True Halotherapy requires more than just salt on the walls. It requires a medical-grade Halogenerator to crush pharmaceutical-grade salt into microscopic particles for inhalation. As a physician-led clinic, we ensure that particle size and concentration are calibrated to penetrate deep into the bronchial tree, offering genuine therapeutic benefit rather than just aesthetic relaxation.
Integration with Longevity
We treat the skin and lungs as the body’s first line of defense. By reducing systemic inflammation via the respiratory tract, we lower the overall toxic load on your body. This integrates seamlessly with our Immunity IV Drips and Infrared Sauna, creating a “Detox Ecosystem” that helps you “Live Long” despite the environmental stressors of urban life.
Commitment to Clinical Purity
Salt is naturally antibacterial and antimicrobial. Our environment is pristine, private, and rigorously maintained. Unlike crowded “salt caves” where you share air with strangers, our Founding Members enjoy a private, controlled environment optimized for deep breathing and meditation.
About Salt Room Therapy: What You Need to Know
What is Halotherapy?
Halotherapy (Salt Therapy) involves breathing air saturated with micronized salt particles. At Apollo House, our advanced Halogenerator grinds pure sodium chloride into particles as small as 1-5 microns. Because these particles are dry, they are able to travel deep into the lungs and sinuses, where they dissolve mucus and kill bacteria.
What the Salt Room Treats
- “City Lungs” & Allergies: Clears the airways of pollen, dust, and particulate matter, significantly reducing the symptoms of seasonal allergies and chronic congestion.
- Respiratory Conditions: Acts as a natural anti-inflammatory for asthma, bronchitis, and lingering post-viral coughs.
- Skin Conditions: The salt particles land on exposed skin, balancing pH and reducing bacteria. This is highly effective for eczema, psoriasis, acne, and dermatitis.
- Stress & Fatigue: The environment mimics the negative ion concentration of the ocean, which helps to lower cortisol, improve mood, and stabilize serotonin levels.
Expected Results & Timeline
- Immediate: You will notice it is easier to take a deep breath. Sinus pressure often relieves within the first 15 minutes.
- Post-Session: A “glow” to the skin and a deep sense of mental calm. Many clients report the best sleep they’ve had in weeks following a session.
- Long-Term: Regular use strengthens the respiratory immune system, leading to fewer colds, clearer skin, and improved athletic performance due to better oxygenation.
Whether you seek aesthetic refinement or deep cellular recovery, our evidence-based protocols are designed to help you live vibrantly at every age.
The Apollo House Difference: The Halotherapy Experience
We have elevated salt therapy from “wellness trend” to “clinical necessity.”
Pillar 1: Medical Precision (The Micro-Climate)
Dr. Ghalchi’s team recognizes that lung health is heart health. By ensuring optimal oxygen intake and reducing respiratory inflammation, we reduce strain on the cardiovascular system. We monitor humidity and temperature strictly—keeping the room dry and comfortable (around 70°F–75°F) to ensure the salt particles remain airborne and effective.
Pillar 2: Holistic Integration (The “Immunity Stack”)
We combine Halotherapy with internal medicine.
- The “City Detox” Protocol: We recommend pairing a 30-minute Salt Room session with our “Immunity+” IV Drip.
- Why: The salt clears the external barriers (lungs/skin), while the IV fortifies your internal defenses (bloodstream). It is the ultimate reset for frequent travelers or during flu season.
Pillar 3: Exclusive, Personalized Care
Your time is valuable. Our Salt Room is designed as a multi-functional sanctuary. Founding Members can use this time for silent meditation, guided breathwork (pranayama), or simply to disconnect from the digital noise of NYC in a private, negative-ion-rich environment.
Pillar 4: Results with Purpose
“Looking Fresh” starts with oxygen. By clearing the lungs, we improve oxygen delivery to the skin and organs. This isn’t just about feeling good for an hour; it’s about maintaining the biological machinery required for a long, vibrant life.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the Stone Sauna?
- Stone Sauna: High Heat (180°F), Sweat-inducing, Cardiovascular workout.
- Salt Room: Comfortable Temperature (70°F), Dry Air, Respiratory & Skin focus.
- You do not sweat in the Salt Room; you breathe.
What should I wear?
Because the salt is beneficial for the skin, we recommend exposing the areas you want to treat (e.g., arms, legs). Many members wear shorts and a tank top, or swimwear. We provide luxury robes and wraps for your comfort.
Will I taste the salt?
You may notice a faint taste of salt on your lips, similar to spending a day at the beach. It is subtle and pleasant.
Is it sanitary?
Extremely. Salt is naturally antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral. Bacteria cannot survive in this environment. Additionally, our state-of-the-art ventilation system cycles the air completely between sessions.
How often should I come?
For acute issues (like a bad allergy flare-up or cold recovery), 2-3 times a week is ideal. For general wellness and “respiratory hygiene,” one session a week is excellent maintenance.
Can I bring my phone?
We recommend leaving electronics in your locker. The salt particles can be corrosive to sensitive electronics over time, and this is intended to be a digital detox space.
Does it help with snoring?
It can. By reducing inflammation in the airways and clearing mucus, salt therapy often opens the nasal passages, which can reduce snoring and improve sleep quality for you (and your partner).
Complementary Treatments at Apollo House
- Immunity+ IV Drip: Boost your immune system from the inside while the salt clears the outside.
- Infrared Sauna: Detoxify your cells through sweat after clearing your lungs.
- Hydrafacial / Glacial Glide: Pair the skin-calming benefits of salt with a deep-cleaning facial.
