What to Know

There’s a kind of magic that happens when light meets the body — not just sunlight warming your skin, but a deeper, cellular communication. Red light therapy works with that light language of the body, reminding your cells how to repair, renew, and radiate.

Halotherapy (from the Greek halos, meaning “salt”) is a natural therapy that mimics the healing microclimate of salt caves. In a halotherapy booth, pure pharmaceutical-grade salt is gently ground into microscopic particles and released into the air. As you breathe, these particles travel deep into the respiratory system — cleansing, soothing, and supporting the body from the inside out.

Some elements simply belong together — like sunlight and sea air. Red light and salt therapy are much the same. Each has powerful effects on its own, but when combined, they create a layered experience of restoration that touches the body, mind, and spirit all at once.

Alberta’s winters are long and dry — and lately, wildfire smoke has become a recurring challenge. Together, these extremes can leave our lungs heavy, our skin parched, and our energy low. The HaloRedO₂ at Material Moon Refuge brings balance back through a unique blend of halotherapy and red light therapy — helping you breathe deeper, recover faster, and feel lighter all year long.

The benefits of halotherapy are safe and supportive for children as well. Sessions can help with respiratory issues, allergies, and general immune health — and for little ones who struggle to slow down, it’s a gentle way to breathe and reset together. Parenting doesn’t leave many quiet spaces, but this one can. The HaloRedO₂ booth is a cocoon of calm — a place where the world gets quieter and your breath deepens.

Whether lifting, running, or stretching, your body deserves more than effort — it deserves restoration. The HaloRedO₂ combines red light therapy and halotherapy to enhance recovery, performance, and overall wellness.
