Holiday Week at the Salt Cave

Salt of the Earth, Center for Healing will provide half-price salt cave sessions ($20/person) from December 26 through 31. This is a great time to reset after the holidays alone, with friends, and family, or a private group session with out-of-town guests. Get the new year off to a healthy start.

In the cave at Salt of the Earth, clients are surrounded by thousands of pounds of pink, Himalayan salt in an environment that recreates the microclimate of naturally occurring subterranean salt caves (speleotherapy). In addition to the salt on the walls and floor, a halogenerator crushes salt into micron-sized dry particles that are inhaled. This is known as halotherapy, a non-invasive method of natural healing of asthma, allergies, COPD, sinusitis, and more.

Gift certificates are available. Location: 811 Chestnut Ridge Rd., Chestnut Ridge, NY. To book sessions or for more information, call 845-290-0678 or visit saltoftheearthcfh.com.
