How sterile is the microclimate in The Salt Cave®?
The microclimate is 3 times cleaner in The Salt Cave® than in a sterle surgery room in a hospital therefore it is almost impossible to catch any infection or bacteria during the therapy. A stable hypoallergenic, hypobacterial environment is maintained in the therapeutic room. The assessment of the microbial contamination during a session of Halotherapy proves that 1m3 contains from 90 – 200 saprophytic microorganisms (according to WHO standards on air sterility, 1m3 should contain less than 300 microbial bodies). If somehow any bacteria would get into the Cave during and it would not be killed by the 2 tons of salt located in the Cave due to the 15 minutes ventilation after each session it would be blown out from the building.
