Abstract: A system and method of use for an operational halotherapy device and red light device in an enclosed space. The halotherapy and red light system generally comprise a machine disposed in the enclosed space that disperses salt particles into the air, and includes a red light device that emits red light waves. The combination of both devices produces a refractory phenomenon when the red light waves make contact with the salt particles dispersed in the air to cause a plethora of multi-dimensional dispersions of light waves. Moreover, every time a salt particle makes contact with a red light wave, a portion of the wave light is absorbed by the particle and its temperature increases, lessening the moisture in the particle. The lessening of moisture in the particle dries the particle further, which enhances the therapeutic properties of the inhalable salt particle.
