Asheville’s Therapeutic Salt Cave  Salt Cave and Salt Spa is a family owned and operated business located in downtown Asheville, NC.

We are increasingly exposed to pollutants in the air we breathe and the water that we bathe in. It is not surprising that there are visible increases in respiratory and skin problems. These health issues take the form of asthma, seasonal allergies, breathing difficulties, heart and metabolic disturbances, skin rashes, depression and countless other modern diseases.

Every breath of salty air we take in is an irreplaceable, natural benefit for many of our ailments. On the basis of medical knowledge and experience, we have created our unique therapeutic salt cave, where you can find the same environment as you would in natural underground salt mines. The salt in our cave comes from mines in Poland and is over 250 million years old. It is anti-bacterial, uncontaminated by dirt, and is free of toxins and pollutants.

The secret of healing in the salt cave is simple. The air is intensely saturated with negative ions along with 84 trace elements and minerals. By breathing in these elements, the body gets in balance and begins to heal itself. Our therapeutic salt cave will leave you with a newly discovered energy accomplished without medications, through a natural healing process. Our goal is to afford people of all ages the opportunity to experience a complete, holistic health benefit.

What Can Salt Therapy do for you?

During a 45-minute salt therapy session, you relax in zero-gravity lounge chairs while being immersed in calming sounds in our unique micro climate. Shoes must be removed. We will provide booties or you may bring clean white socks to wear in the cave. Breathing in the salt air is said to foster good sleep, alleviate symptoms of allergies and asthma, relieve hypertension and stress and even cure hangovers. However we make no medical claims.

The salt cave is something like an oasis of fresh air in the heavily polluted environment in which we live.

As an alternative treatment our therapeutic cave helps patients who suffer from acne, arthritis, asthma, bronchitis, congestion, chronic and acute otitis, cystic fibrosis, hay fever, skin conditions of all types, ear infections, migraines, snoring, poor concentration, allergies, eczema, ear nose and throat conditions, psoriasis, relapsing pneumonia, frequent viral infection, weakened immune systems, and countering the effect of smoking and pollution.
