There are those times in our lives when it's necessary to slow down and take care of ourselves. Self-care is of utmost importance and, in my opinion, we don't do that enough. So, how does one practice self-care? Well, we can turn off our electronics and meditate for a while each day, go for a hike to immerse ourselves in nature, head to the gym, read a book, or, my personal favorite, visit a spa. If you find yourself in Albuquerque and need some R&R, let your worries and stress melt away by spending time at The Salt Cave in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

If you're in need of some self-care, a spa is the way to go. In Albuquerque, one place to consider booking some time is at The Salt Cave.

If you've never had a salt cave experience, it's truly unique! Your salt cave experience is held in a room filled with Himalayan salt, including the walls. While the walls are made of pink Himalayan salt rocks, the ground is made of pink Himalayan salt crystals.

Just find a chair and relax into a meditative state as you breathe in the salty air.

There's also a more private experience in the Salt Room which has walls constructed with Himalayan salt bricks.

The Salt Cave also offers a special meditation and sound healing experience in the salt cave once in a while. This just adds to the already unique experience you'll have here!

Follow The Salt Cave's Facebook page for information on the next meditation and sound healing session.

Not only does this spa have a salt cave and a salt room but an infrared sauna. Using both dry heat and red light therapy, this is another treatment that will leave you feeling refreshed and relaxed.

You may also choose to book a foot detox during which you'll soak your feet while seated in a massage chair. The warm water bath is charged with ions that help draw out toxins through your feet. This is another experience I've had before and it was certainly interesting!

The Salt Cave offers a Day Package that includes the salt cave, an infrared sauna session, and a detox foot bath for a reasonable price.

If you've never had a salt cave experience before, I highly recommend it. It made me feel so relaxed once my session was over.

The Salt Cave is located at 8001 Wyoming Blvd NE Suite D1 in Albuquerque, NM. Find out more about spa services and book your appointment on The Salt Cave's website.
