Most People Don’t Know There’s A Healing Salt Cave Hidden In A Barn In New York
There are a lot of relaxing places in New York. We may be home to the Big Apple, one of the busiest cities in the world, but we’ve also got plenty of calming waterfalls, relaxing trails, and serene lakes. One place you might not expect to provide much tranquility is a strip mall in the small village of Chestnut Ridge. But hidden inside this barn-shaped shopping area is a peaceful salt cave. Salt caves are becoming increasingly popular as a form of therapy for those suffering from stress and anxiety. Salt of the Earth Center for Healing is a holistic healing center that offers homeopathic therapies for various ailments.
This strip mall looks pretty typical. It's more attractive than most with its barn-style exterior, but you certainly wouldn't expect it to be hiding a salt cave.
Tucked away inside one of these shops, though, is the Salt of the Earth Center for Healing. For the last five years, this tranquil place has been helping New Yorkers to relax using homeopathic methods.
Salt of the Earth's therapies are intended to be used in conjunction with traditional medical practices.
Salt cave therapy, also known as halotherapy, uses pink Himalayan salt to stimulate healing. The cave's walls are made of thousands of pounds of salt, and additional aerosolized salt is blown into the air via a fan.
Halotherapy is believed to help with breathing problems, skin issues, and it's also just plain relaxing! A 40-minute session in the salt cave will have you forgetting all your worries.
