Throughout most of evolution humans walked barefoot and slept on the ground, largely oblivious that the surface of the Earth contains limitless healing energy.

Science has discovered this energy as free-flowing electrons constantly replenished by solar radiation and lightning. Few people know it, but the ground provides a subtle electric signal that maintains health and governs the intricate mechanisms that make our bodies work-just like plugging a lamp into a power socket makes it light up. Modern lifestyle, including the widespread use of insulative rubber or plastic-soled shoes, has disconnected us from this energy .

A practice called “earthing”, walking around barefoot or putting any body part in direct contact with the ground, introduces the planet’s powerful, amazing, and overlooked natural healing energy and how people anywhere can readily connect to it. Earthing may decrease pain and improve heart health. When you are earthing you’re absorbing the earth’s negatively charged electrons. They act similarly to antioxidants, balancing out positive free radicals that contribute to inflammation.

Walk barefoot to ground yourself to the earth.

Lack of grounding has a lot to do with the rise of modern diseases as it affects inflammatory processes in your body. The physical disconnect with the Earth creates abnormal physiology and contributes to inflammation, pain, fatigue, stress, and poor sleep. By reconnecting to the Earth, symptoms are rapidly relieved and even eliminated , recovery from surgery, injury, and athletic overexertion is accelerated.

Grounding thins your blood, making it less viscous. Virtually every aspect of cardiovascular disease has been correlated with elevated blood viscosity. When you ground to the earth, your zeta potential quickly rises, which means your red blood cells have more charge on their surface, which forces them apart from each other. This action causes your blood to thin and flow easier. By repelling each other, your red blood cells are also less inclined to stick together and form a clot.

Just 20 minutes of earthing eases pain and inflammation while 40 minutes begins to reduce blood viscosity.

To enjoy these benefits, go shoeless in your garden or wiggle your toes in the sand or come to our salt cave and walk on the granolas of Polish and Dead Sea Salt on thecave floor. This is great reflexology on your feet. Come give it a try!

We offer salt therapy in our nature inspired salt cave as well as a variety of massage therapy spa services in our healing arts rooms. Such as couples massage, therapeutic massage, hot stone massage, energy work, reflexology, and body scrubs.

The Asheville Salt cave is made up of all natural materials

Our cave is built with wood, water, rock and 20 tons of Polish salt crystals which are 250 million years old and come from 3- 5 miles below the earths surface. They are free of bacteria and unpolluted. The micro-climate is created by using Sole’ ( a highly concentrated solution of salt and water to feed the cave through two water features), keeping the cave at a constant temperature of 68-70 degrees and a constant humidity of 50%.

The interior of our cave is designed to recreate the unique microclimates found in the Wiellczka and Bochnia salt caves in Poland, which are at a depth of 350 meters. The unique healing attribute of the Asheville Salt Cave is due to the enriched air that circulates inside the cave. The air is rich in negative salt ions and 84 trace elements, which are absorbed by the body via respiration and through the skin. 45 minutes in our salt cave has an equivalent healing effect to being at the ocean for 4 days.

By breathing in this unique micro-climate and allowing our skin to absorb it, we are helping our bodies to maintain a balanced pH. When our body’s pH is balanced we are less prone to illness and infection.

Most of the salt caves and salt rooms you see grind a dry table salt into minute particles which are then sprayed into the room via a mechanical device called a Halo-generator. The salt used in halo-generators cannot even be the mineral rich pink himalayan salt. Only pharmaceutical grade table salt (stripped of its natural mineral content) can be used in halogenerators. Providing only the antibacterial benefit of salt and none of the mineral balancing benefits of our nature-inspired salt cave.

The Asheville Salt Cave is an extremely unique design based around speleotherapy.

The salt in our cave is antibacterial, growing and self-sustaining, due to our nature-inspired and carefully controlled microclimate. And the experience of absorbing the salts minerals is very similar to how one would naturally come in contact with these 84 trace elements and minerals – at the beach, visiting a naturally occurring salt cave, or eating pure Himalayan pink salt.

 

We offer salt therapy in our nature inspired salt cave as well as a variety of massage therapy spa services in our healing arts rooms. Such as couples massage, therapeutic massage, hot stone massage, energy work, reflexology, and body scrubs.

I was there on Sunday, June 24. I must admit I was a bit skeptical.  We did the 45 minutes community cave session.  It was one of the most relaxing, mentally healing things I’ve ever done.  Will most certainly be on my list of things to do the next time I’m in Asheville.

Have you ever had one of those random health things that pops up and has you completely confused and stressed out?

After having a systemic reaction to poison ivy about 10 years ago, I have managed to avoid that scary plant and not get a single exposure since! Until last week.

Somehow I must have let my radar down, and on Thursday felt a little itch between my toes.

I didn’t think anything of it, until later that weekend, after going swimming at in a lake, I notice my foot was a bit sore. By Monday it became so red, painful, and swollen that I could hardly walk. I called my telecom web doctor and received a Rx for prednisone to help alleviate the swelling. I am not one to jump at taking Rx medications, but there certainly is a time and place. The swelling went down, somewhat. But not entirely. And now I could see how purple my 3rd and 4th toes were. Not only purple, but I couldn’t even bend them or put any weight on my foot. I kept thinking it would start to ease up. 5 long days later and still no improvement and the excruciating pain continued.

So I finally take myself to the doctor’s office.

He tells me that the poison ivy scabbed over in such a way that infection took hold and couldn’t get out. Usually oozing and weeping from a wound is a way for infection to exit the body. He opened one of the scabs, applied neosporin, prescribed an antibiotic, and told me soak my foot in a highly concentrated salt water bath three times per day, for 30 minutes each time, over the next few days.

I feel like I should have thought of this myself, working at the Salt Cave and all: Solutions with a lower concentration of salt are attracted to those with higher concentrations of salt.

So by soaking my foot, which now has a small opening where the blister was, the infected fluids will be drawn out of my body simply because they are attracted to the super salty bath my foot is resting in. Not to mention the antibacterial properties of salt. After 2 days my foot was mostly better and now, one week later, I am once again running around with my active 2 year old!

Salt is amazing. It has so many more uses than simply flavoring our food! Salt water solutions have been used for centuries to help infections, sore throats, mouth ulcers, toothaches, and congestion.

Sound Healing is one of the oldest forms of healing known to man. Long before history and the written word, music and healing have been inseparable in the practices of shamanic healing and of mantra as a musical prayer for healing. At long last, science and western allopathic medicine are validating what shamans have known for millennia.

Contemporary holistic healers, spiritual healers, Reiki masters, shamanic healers, practitioners who work with crystal healing and chakra healing, and with the myriad other aspects of the alternative medicine healing arts: all are increasingly aware that with the introduction of the healing energy of sound, energy healing is catalyzed to potentate their healing abilities and the miraculous touch of their healing hands.

Sound Healing

The therapeutic application of sound frequencies to the body/mind of people with the intention of bringing them into a state of harmony and health.

Sound healing often includes:

Tibetan Singing Bowls, Crystal Singing bowls, Didgeridoo sounds, Gongs, Chanting, Handpan, Flute, Tuning forks, Solfeggio frequencies, Binaural beats

Everything in nature is vibrating

Each organism has its own vibratory rate. Every object in the universe has its own unique resonant frequency. Every organ, every bone, every cell in our body has its own resonant frequency. Together they make up a composite frequency like the instruments of an orchestra. When one organ in the body is out of tune it will affect the whole body. Through the principle of resonance it is possible to use sound to bring the body back into harmony.

Our body has a whole number of rhythms

Our heartbeat, breath, cranio-sacral pulse, gastrointestinal tract, stomach, brain waves, and body temperature each has its unique rhythm.

The unique, deeply relaxing (and therefore healing) benefits of harmonic overtones, which induce the rare state of Theta brain wave activity while still conscious; the pizo-electric stimulation of meridian lines, acupressure and acupuncture points by the vibration of sound and the alleviation of energy blockages in the chakras as the karma you are ready to release disappears quickly and with minimal effort: all are reported benefits of sound healing with a gifted channel of this energy

 

 

We host monthly sound healing concerts inside the Salt Cave, as well as private and community salt cave sessions. We also offer a variety of healing massage therapy spa services. Such as couples massage, therapeutic massage, hot stone massage, energy work, reflexology, and body scrubs.

The spiritual healing associated with the Chakras arose in India around the 1st century. Energy healers assess and then balance our 7 chakras or energy centers in order to maintain ones well – being. It is believed that one’s body holds the ability to heal itself.

Chakra work is gaining popularity around the globe.

Chakras are part of what is known as the energy body, an energy field that is believed to hold the power for the body to heal itself. Each of the 7 Chakras is thought to be a swirling focus of light radiating along the spine and according to the Hindu tradition each can reveal a lot about your physical and emotional well-being.

According to tradition, a variety of problems, from headaches to depression, can result from trapped energy, which is why the Chakras need to be rebalanced.

Each Chakra reveals clues about a particular area of the body. Each has it’s own specific purpose and is associated with certain organs, hormones, emotions and parts of the personality.

Chakra 1

The root chakra, associated with the color red, is located at the base of the spine, representing your foundation and feeling of being grounded.If this chakra is blocked it is associated with lower-back pain, immune problems, depression and varicose veins.

Chakra 2

The sacral chakra or womb chakra, associated with the color orange, is centered in the pelvis, lower abdomen and lower back. It symbolizes creativity and sexuality. If this chakra is damaged it is believed to result in hip pain, fertility problems, arthritis, and illnesses of the prostrate or ovaries.

Chakra 3

The solar plexus, associated with the color yellow, represents confidence, self-esteem and a feeling of being in control of your life. Found between the belly button and rib cage it regulates the liver, gall bladder, stomach and adrenal glands. If this chakra is weak it may result in ulcers, stomach issues, eating disorders and liver problems.

Chakra 4

The Heart chakra is represented with the color green. A healthy 4th chakra allows you to be compassionate and to forgive. As the middle chakra, it also navigates a balance between body, mind, and spirit. It affects the heart, circulatory system, thymus gland and lungs. If blocked it may cause heart problems, asthma, allergies and lung illnesses.

Chakra 5

Located in the throat and represented with the color blue, determines the ability to communicate. It symbolizes self-expression and truth. It takes care of toxins in the lymph nodes, thyroid, esophagus and mouth.

Chakra 6

Is the “famous” Third Eye. It is associated with the color indigo. It represents intelligence, intuition and the ability to see the big picture. It governs the brain, nervous system, eyes, ears and nose. If it is weak it may cause neurological illness, headaches and eye problems.

Chakra 7

The Crown Chakra symbolizes your spiritual side. It is represented with either the color purple or white. It takes care of the muscles, bones and skin. If this chakra is blocked it may cause a sort of spiritual discomfort

Rebalance your Chakras and enjoy a life of good health, well-being and peace.
