If you've never heard of this kind of salt cave before, you might be a little confused. There is a type of salt cave that is quickly gaining popularity due to its therapeutic properties, either just to relax and cleanse you, or even to help people with sinus problems or allergies. Salt caves are great for everyone to experience from time to time and luckily, North Dakota has one!
The Salt Cave Wellness Relaxation Center is in Bismarck, North Dakota.
Though it looks like a normal building from the outside, there is a salt cave on the inside that will both amaze and totally relax you. This cave is formed from pink Himalayan crystal salt that covers the entire room. Spending 45 minutes in one of their zero gravity chairs in this salt room is said to be the equivalent of spending 3 days at the seaside. Just because we're one of the most landlocked states doesn't mean we can't enjoy the salty, fresh air that those on the coast get to enjoy!
The center promotes salt therapy, otherwise known as halotherapy, that can be beneficial to anyone.
Whether you are just looking to put your mind and body at ease for a little while or you have chronic allergies, asthma, and other issues, spending some time in a serene salt cave can really help alleviate some of your symptoms, which is why these caves are becoming so popular. The warm, dim lighting and the small twinkling lights in the ceiling paired with relaxing music and freshening air makes for quite the experience!
You can even take yoga classes in the salt cave for a completely rejuvenating experience.
The center hosts yoga classes right in the salt cave on the first and third Monday of every month.
If you can't get to the salt cave all the time, they have salt products that can help you right from home.
The pure Himalayan crystal salt the cave uses is also used in many other things, including salt lamps - that help purify the air around them - as well as everything from bath salts to shot glasses! They are both beautiful as well as useful and make for great gifts.
The Salt Cave Wellness Relaxation Center also has a sauna, massages, and just about everything else you may need to help you relax and refresh your body after life catches up on it. If you'd like to learn more or set up a session at the cave, visit the Salt Cave site here.
The cave is located at 1001 W Interstate Ave, Ste 120, Bismarck, North Dakota.
