The chemical composition of the salt crystal makes it a great source of negative ions, which are recognized as being a source of creating a sense of well-being. When oxygen atoms are charged with an extra ion, they are known as negative ions. They do not have smell or taste, and they are inhaled near waterfalls, in salt caves, and at the beach. This makes for a high energy and positive mood.

The impact that negative ions have is powerful. First, it was found that they help asthma patients. Later, it was found that they affect serotonin levels throughout the blood stream and more! Himalayan salt is the purest in the world, and makes for a positive experience in Salt Caves.

Salt caves truly look like a natural cave, and have salt on the walls and floors. They are dimly lit, and create a relaxing ambiance allowing for a stress free session. Patients sit down and inhale the salts for a given amount of time, before leaving in a better mental state. While the mental clarity seems instant, the skin and mental health effects take a bit longer to see the benefits. Typically, twenty sessions are required before seeing results.
