Halotherapy
WHERE IT’S AT: Salt Cave (saltcave.us), located
in Naples, Florida.
DESCRIPTION: Covered with fine, pure
Himalayan pink crystal salt, specially imported
for the facility, Salt Cave provides a dry, sterile
place for visitors to relax. The large amount of dry
rock salt creates a special microclimate identical
to underground salt caves popular in Europe.
Patients relax on comfortable chairs during the
sessions, soothed by calming music and absorbing
the energy and healing benefits of a salt-infused
aerosol provided by a salt generator.
BENEFITS: According to the Salt Cave’s website,
the salt chambers don’t only have healing effects
but its resonant vibration activates one’s self-healing
and self-regulating powers. When someone’s body
is lacking its natural frequency, salt can bring them
back to normal—back to a balanced state. Salt
treatment is also believed to help with bronchitis,
COPD, asthma, nervousness, poor concentration,
sleep disorders, ADHD, acne, eczema, psoriasis,
snoring, ear infections, arthritis, relapsing
pneumonia, cystic fibrosis, amongst other aliments.
HISTORY BEHIND THE SERVICE: Salt mines
and their therapeutic properties have been noted
since Hippocrates. They were once utilized by the
monks who would take their sick to the salt caves
and let them breath in salt particles from crushed
stalactites. Halotherapy has also been embraced
in numerous Eastern European countries; including
the former Soviet Union and Great Britain.
