The Little-Known Salt Cave In Louisiana That Will Melt Your Worries Away

Halotherapy, also known as salt therapy, has many health benefits. Not only is it believed to improve lung problems including asthma and bronchitis, but it also can improve dry itchy skin and reduce your stress levels. Sounds incredible, right? Lafayette Salt Cave in Louisiana offers several different experiences that will leave you feeling like a brand new person. Let’s check it out:

Welcome to Lafayette Salt Cave, home to the largest salt cave in Acadiana.

Halotherapy has been a common practice, especially in Eastern Europe, since the 12th century. Studies have shown that halo therapy can help with respiratory conditions, skin problems, and allergies while being an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, natural ingredient.

There are many different salts used for this practice, and Lafayette Salt Cave uses pink Himalayan Rock Salt.

The room is scored by the melodic tunes of ambient music and dimly lit for a perfect atmosphere to relax.

The process is simple: sit back, relax, and breathe.

One thing you will hear is the halogenerator. This machine grinds the salt down to nano-sized particles that are small enough for you to breathe in. You can turn the music up so you won’t hear it as much, if you want!

Each session lasts for one hour, and you can reserve the cave to have all for yourself or just reserve a spot and share the experience.

Solo sessions are $95/hour and a shared experience is $25.

Lafayette Salt Cave also has an infrared salt room, which combines the healing properties of salt with a sauna.

You can book a 30-minute session in the infrared set booth for $45, or go with a half-and-half option so you get the best of both worlds! Split your hour with time in both the salt cave and the sauna for $95.

Visit the Lafayette Salt Cave website to book your experience today, and be sure to follow Lafayette Salt Cave on Facebook so you don't miss out on any upcoming events. Stay salty, y'all.
