Living with chronic pain can feel like a full-time job—one that no one applied for. Whether it’s joint stiffness, muscle soreness, or that ever-lingering low back pain, it wears you down and makes even simple tasks feel monumental.
At YF Wellness, we’re all about helping you feel better, move better, and live better—without relying solely on medications or invasive treatments. One of our most-loved therapies for pain relief? Our Halotherapy Infrared Sauna, a powerful one-two punch of healing heat and therapeutic salt.
Let’s break down how this combo can bring real relief—and what the science has to say about it.
🔥 What’s a Halotherapy Infrared Sauna?
Glad you asked! At YF Wellness, we’ve taken the benefits of a traditional infrared sauna and kicked it up a notch by adding halotherapy, also known as dry salt therapy.
đź”´ Infrared heat
Infrared saunas use infrared light to warm you from the inside out—unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you. This deep-penetrating warmth helps ease joint stiffness, relax muscles, improve circulation, and support recovery.
🧂 Halotherapy (dry salt therapy)
At the same time, micro-particles of pure salt are dispersed into the air. As you breathe them in, they travel through your respiratory system, clearing mucus, reducing inflammation, and helping you breathe easier. Bonus: it’s also great for your skin.
Together, infrared heat and salt therapy create a calming, deeply therapeutic experience that supports the body, breath, and brain—all in one session.

🔬 What the Research Says: Chronic Pain & Infrared Therapy
Pain isn’t just physical—it affects your sleep, energy, mood, and even how you connect with others. Here’s how the halotherapy infrared sauna works to address chronic pain from several angles:
1. Reducing Inflammation
Chronic inflammation is a major driver of pain in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, and even sore muscles from overuse or injury. Infrared therapy has been shown to lower inflammation markers in the body, which leads to reduced swelling and less pain.
A 2008 study in Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology found that far-infrared therapy had a “potent anti-inflammatory effect” particularly beneficial for people with autoimmune pain conditions.
đź’ˇ In other words? Less inflammation = more relief.
2. Boosting Circulation
If you’ve ever had cold hands or feet that ache, you’ve felt what poor circulation can do. Good blood flow delivers oxygen and nutrients to your muscles and joints—fueling healing and recovery.
Infrared heat stimulates the release of nitric oxide, a natural compound that opens up blood vessels and helps your body send oxygen-rich blood to where it’s needed most.
A study on patients with peripheral artery disease found significant improvements in circulation and comfort after regular infrared therapy sessions. Better blood flow also supports detoxification and immune health.
3. Relaxing Tight Muscles & Easing Tension
When your body is tense, your pain can skyrocket. The heat from an infrared sauna penetrates deep into your muscles, helping them relax naturally without force or pressure.
A 2011 study in Clinical Rheumatology found that people with chronic low back pain experienced less pain and more mobility after regular infrared sauna use.
And when you add salt therapy to the mix? You breathe easier, which supports your body’s rest-and-digest mode, helping muscles release even more tension.
4. Lowering Stress & Lifting Mood
Let’s not forget the emotional toll of chronic pain. It’s draining. The good news is that infrared sauna therapy also supports mental and emotional wellness.
The heat helps release endorphins (your body’s natural feel-good chemicals), while halotherapy promotes a sense of calm and mindfulness with every breath. Together, they help regulate stress hormones and can lead to better sleep and reduced anxiety.
A 2023 PLOS ONE study found that sauna use helped people enter a theta brain wave state, a deep relaxation mode that supports recovery and mood balance.
đź’ˇ Bottom line? You walk out feeling lighter, mentally and physically.
🌬️ Why Halotherapy Matters in the Chronic Pain Equation
Now let’s talk salt.
Halotherapy might sound like a beach daydream, but it has some serious science behind it. The dry salt particles used in halotherapy have natural anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal properties.
When inhaled, these tiny salt particles help reduce inflammation in your airways, which can actually reduce systemic inflammation too. Plus, improved breathing supports better sleep, lower cortisol, and even reduced muscle tension.
Some people with chronic pain also struggle with asthma, allergies, or sinus issues, which can make pain worse due to poor sleep or shallow breathing. Halotherapy supports better respiratory health, which in turn supports your healing.
