Halogenerators breathe life into the salt cave, chamber, or room. They are unique pieces of equipment that provide a safe, effective, form of dry salt therapy. The main benefit of this type of therapy comes from the pure salt that is crushed, ground down, and spread into the air from the halogenerator.

There are some salt caves and salt rooms set up without halogenerators, but they are not authentic. Without the halogenerator, there is no halotherapy. There may be salt décor on the walls and floors, but the only way dry salt therapy can be administered is with the salt being dispersed into the cave, chamber, or room.
