Most studies looking at halotherapy as part of a treatment for respiratory conditions show very few adverse events or unwanted side effects; the complementary therapy is generally well tolerated by most adults.
Some studies report that a normal side effect of halotherapy can include a temporary increase in cough frequency as mucus clears, and some individuals may be able to taste the salt particles in the air. Additionally, some study participants have reported an unwanted scratchy throat after using halotherapy.
While these side effects are not unexpected, if they are bothersome to you, or you experience additional unwanted side effects, we encourage you to turn the unit off and discontinue use.
