LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A new Louisville spa fights lung and skin conditions through salt therapy.

Blue Halo Med Spa opened for business today, and it's the only spa in Louisville to offer halotherapy. The owner says it a non-medical treatment that is free of side-effects. It includes imported Himalayan salt and mist.

"'Halo' actually means salt," said Rhonda Hatfield, owner of the spa. "And it is the driest you can make the salt -- it is pulverized into a very fine mist. You breathe it in and it is cleansing to your lungs and respiratory system."

Halotherapy sessions at the new spa are free this week. Blue Halo will start offering other treatments like facials, massages, waxing and botox on Oct. 6.
