Arkansans may be spoiled with spectacular forests and mountain ranges, but being able to breathe in the salty air from rolling beach waves is one thing this state lacks. Fortunately, there are a few places that have created the reinvigorating feeling felt from the ocean air. Dubbed “salt caves,” these darkened rooms are covered in salt and are anecdotally known to ease respiratory issues. The Salt Room, housed in the Lowell Therapeutic Massage Center, has aimed to revitalize clients using this salty remedy known as Halotherapy.
