Salt Cave

The Salt Room Experience

— What to expect and how it works

Dress comfortably for your appointment, but really whatever you have on for the day will be just fine. Once inside the Salt Room you will find yourself surrounded by thousands of pounds of beautiful pink Himalayan salt that cover the walls and floor. As we dim the lights, you can lounge back in one of our zero gravity chairs and listen to the sweet sounds of serene background music to help you relax. When you are comfortable a salt grinder, which breaks the salt grains into micronized particles, begins to run. Throughout the 45-minute therapy a dry, fine salt aerosol is delivered into the salt room by a fan. Inside the salt room a monitoring salt sensor is housed and is responsible for measuring the salt aerosol concentrations levels. It receives the information then transmits the data to a controller, which compares and adjusts the salt aerosol concentration based on the specific needs for the people in the room. With a consistently sustained concentration of the dry salt aerosol, the salt room’s environment provides the benefits of natural microclimates.

(New England Journal of Medicine)

We have tiled the walls of our cave with this special salt, and have also added two halo generators which heats, crushes, and disperses micro-particles of the salt into the caves. The concentrations of salt particles can be adjusted for varying respiratory issues. Medical research shows that in order for halo therapy to effectively treat respiratory and skin ailments it is necessary to have a concentration of 3 to 4 milligrams of salt per cubic meter of airspace. Bacteria or viruses cannot live in this high concentration of pure Himalayan salt and therefore cannot be spread through the air to other guests in the cave.

HISTORY OF HALOTHERAPY (Salt Therapy)

Although new to the United States, Salt Therapy has been around since the 1800s in Europe.

In 1843 doctor Felix Boczkowski formulated that the presence of the air in the salt mines in Wieliczka in Poland saturated with dry salt particles caused healing effects on people with pulmonary and respiratory problems.

Today the Wieliczka Salt Mine is operating as the largest Underground Rehabilitation and Treatment Center. They are the world leader in providing innovative rehabilitation and treatment of respiratory diseases by combining both the natural microclimate of the underground salt excavations and the best practices of contemporary medicine.

Doctors and scientists came up with a solution. That’s where Halotherapy comes in.

Halotherapy comes from the Greek, Halo, for salt. It is a modern holistic method that mimics the natural microclimate of the salt mines. You can get the benefits of three hours in a salt mine in only 45 minutes in a specially designed halo chamber, or salt room. Our halogenerator, designed by Dr. Alina Chervinskaya, the leading expert in Halotherapy, is used to crush pharmaceutical grade salt into micronized particles that are dispersed through the air in the salt room.

Clinical studies have shown that when people inhale this type of salt air, it can help to stimulate the natural ability of their respiratory system to reduce inflammation, fight infection, clear blockages and reduce discomfort.

Today, halotherapy rooms have been certified as medical devices in Russia, and the Israeli Ministry of Health has similarly recognized halotherapy as a medical treatment for pediatric asthma. That said salt therapy has become a very popular and effective treatment for children with asthma, as it is non-invasive and 100% natural.

SALT CAVES RULES AND POLICIES

Our Salt Caves experience is designed for convenience. We respect our clients and we ask that they please respect us and our time as well.

There’s no need to change your clothing. Casual, loose-fitting clothing is most appropriate.

The treatment rooms are equipped with security cameras for your safety.

You may bring electronic devices in the rooms at your own risk.  Salt is corrosive to these devices.  They must be on silent/vibrate.  Any device that uses a fan for internal cooling may not be brought into the salt room.

Most people want to relax or meditate during the session, so we ask that you remain quiet during your entire session.

We provide zero-gravity chairs for your comfort. Please note that these chairs have a maximum weight capacity of 350 lbs.

Please respect the salt room’s extremely delicate nature.

Please do not ever throw salt or touch the salt room’s walls.

APPOINTMENT POLICIES

Arrival Time

To ensure a relaxing and unhurried experience, we recommend arriving 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment. This allows ample time for check-in, consultation, and preparation before your treatment begins.

Guests arriving late may have their treatment time shortened to avoid disrupting appointments scheduled after theirs. The full service fee will still apply.

Treatment Time

All massage and facial appointments include approximately 10 minutes within the scheduled appointment time for your personalized consultation, changing, and post-treatment recommendations. This allows your therapist or esthetician to provide individualized care while ensuring appointments remain on schedule for all guests.

Guests Under 18

The comfort, safety, and well-being of our guests are our highest priorities. Clients under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian for the entire duration of their appointment.

Guests under 18 are welcome to enjoy a Salt Cave session; however, the session must be reserved as a private appointment, and a parent or legal guardian must be present for the duration of the experience.

CANCELLATION POLICY

To ensure every guest receives the highest level of personalized care, your treatment time is reserved exclusively for you.

As a courtesy to both our guests and practitioners, we require at least 24 hours’ notice for any cancellations, rescheduling, or appointment modifications, regardless of the reason. Providing advance notice allows us the opportunity to offer your appointment time to another client and helps us respect the schedules of our practitioners.

Appointments that are canceled, rescheduled, changed, or missed with less than 24 hours’ notice will incur a fee equal to 100% of the scheduled service cost.

We appreciate your understanding that late cancellations and no-shows prevent us from accommodating other clients who may be waiting for an appointment. As a courtesy, appointment reminders are sent 24 and 48 hours in advance to help you remember your upcoming visit.
