Salt Therapy Health Benefits: Why Visit a Salt Cave or Build Your Own

Explore the wellness benefits of Himalayan salt therapy and see how to visit our cave—or build your own salt room.

Breathe Better. Live Healthier. Relax Deeper.

If you've ever stepped into a Himalayan salt cave, you know the experience is more than just peaceful—it's healing. Salt therapy, also called halotherapy, has been used for generations to help with respiratory issues, skin conditions, and overall wellness. At Ocean Air Himalayan Salt Cave, we see the transformation in our guests every day. This video walks you through why salt therapy works—and how you can experience it whether you're visiting us or building a salt cave of your own.


Why Salt Therapy Works

Salt therapy uses fine particles of pharmaceutical-grade salt, released into the air in a controlled space. As you sit back and breathe normally, those tiny salt particles work their way deep into your lungs, clearing out mucus, reducing inflammation, and making it easier to breathe. People with asthma, COPD, allergies, and even long COVID often report noticeable improvements after just a few sessions.


Salt also helps with:


  • Skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis
  • Stress reduction and better sleep
  • Improved circulation and reduced inflammation
  • Athletic recovery and energy balance


And best of all? It’s completely natural.


Should You Build Your Own Salt Room?

For those looking to bring the benefits of salt therapy into a home, spa, or wellness business, it’s absolutely possible. Our friends at Salt Cave Builder specialize in designing and building custom salt rooms across the country. They’re the ones who built our cave—and we couldn’t recommend them more.


Whether you're thinking of starting a business or just want daily access to halotherapy, building your own salt cave is a powerful way to invest in wellness.
