What is a salt cave?

A salt cave is either a natural or man-made cave made entirely of salt, usually pink Himalayan salt and sometimes dead sea salt. There are many known benefits people can experience by visiting a salt cave. Breathing in salt particles’ negative ions from the air is said to benefit the upper respiratory system. Since salt is chockfull of minerals, you may see improvements in your skin. And it may help elevate your mood, but, most importantly, you will feel incredibly relaxed and will want to visit again and again!
