# Has the FDA approved salt therapy as a medical treatment?

## Answer

No. Dry halotherapy has not been evaluated by the FDA as a medical treatment. This magazine will not dress a wellness room up as an approved therapy.

That does not mean salt air is a scam and it does not mean your grandmother was foolish for loving the seashore. It means a salt cave is not a pharmacy, not a procedure code you should assume insurance will honor, and not a reason to stop an inhaler.

Industry associations collect studies. Journals publish small trials. Reviews ask for better ones. None of that is the same as “approved to treat your diagnosis.” If a cave’s website says “clinically proven to cure,” that is a red flag — ask better questions, or Ask the owner here and we will not send you to a house that talks that way.

Consult your physician. Use salt rooms as complementary rest, not as a substitute for care.
