What is a Salt Cave?

What is a Salt Cave?A salt cave is ultimately an artificial replica of an authentic salt mine microclimate.

Basically, it consists of a temperature and humidity controlled environment hosting a rich salt aerosol atmosphere, that is completely consumed by and constructed with Himalayan salt. Various value-add enhancements are sometimes incorporated like a salt-brine cascade, also known as a water-cascade.

A Brief History of Salt Caves

The benefits of a salt environment were discovered in the early 19th century by a Polish physician who observed that salt miners had significantly fewer respiratory ailments, and looked much younger for their age than coal miners. He believed these health benefits were a result of breathing in the air in the salt-rich atmosphere in the salt mines.

Shortly thereafter, going to salt mines and caves for healing purposes became popular form of therapy throughout Europe.

This method of therapy — of breathing in salt-rich air, became known as halo therapy.
