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

The health benefits derived from being out in nature are many, from the Vitamin D we get from the sun to the cardiovascular benefits from hiking our beautiful trails, not to mention the effects of being out in nature on our mental and spiritual health. Most of us find ourselves enjoying these benefits while outdoors for recreational purposes, while others work outdoors. It was an observation made about the work environment of Polish salt miners in the 1800s by a physician named Feliks Boczkowski that led to the discovery of halotherapy, a modern dry salt therapy that has become more popular in recent years. He noticed that the salt miners did not have the respiratory or lung problems common with other miners and began promoting salt therapy. Today, there are hundreds of salt rooms in the United States where you can try this type of therapy for yourself. Let's explore one of those together – an incredible salt cave in Hilton Head Island.

Pure Salt Studios is located on Harbourside Lane in the Shelter Cove Harbour and Marina.

Some of the other health benefits those who have experienced halotherapy have noticed include improved mood, feeling a sense of calm, pain relief, clearer sinuses, and improved skin.

The chairs in this salt cave in Hilton Head Island are comfortable heated massaging chairs to sink into for a 45-minute escape from any stresses of the day.

You're able to adjust the chair settings to whatever is most suitable or relaxing for you.

Everything is better shared, right? With a few hundred thousand pounds of salt in the cave, there's plenty for everyone.

Get the girls together and make this a part of your girls' day out! While you relax together, a state-of-the-art halogenerator grinds pure sodium chloride into tiny micro-particles that are dispersed into the room at a set concentration. As you inhale the particles, they reach the deepest area of your lungs, absorbing bacteria and pollutants and provide an anti-inflammatory and cleansing effect. This process supports and strengthens your immune system by eliminating toxins and allergens that are trapped within the mucus lining of the respiratory system.

Pure Salt Studios also offers private yoga sessions in the salt room if you'd like to experience the benefits of yoga along with salt therapy at the same time – it's like a multi-tasked self-care routine!

So if you live in Hilton Head Island or are planning a beach trip or girl's getaway there, make sure to plan some time for some salt therapy! Need a recommendation for a place to stay overnight? The "Eternal Summer Villa" across from the beach is a great option.
