With four locations in the Downstate area (two specifically being in the Big Apple), Breathe Salt Rooms are a popular place to visit for therapeutic salt treatments. The salt rooms at Breathe Salt have more of a modern look, providing equally relaxing experiences. One of the reasons this place is one of our favorite salt locations to visit is because the spa offers salt beds.
