I love Salt Spas. I could easily spend an hour or more sitting in a room made entirely of salt. Are you with me? Isn’t there something luxurious about letting all your cares float away for an hour? If you’ve ever felt stuck physically or emotionally, a salt spa visit is for you.

In this post discover the different types of salt room spas, how to get the most out of a salt spa experience, and how to create a chakra balancing salt spa experience at home by using Himalayan Salts, Epsom Salts, or Dead Sea Salts. Whether you’re ready to visit one now or not, I hope you find this post gives you information on unblocking chakras, cleansing chakras, and balancing chakras using Himalayan Salt.

THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SALT SPAS

Not all Salt Spas are created equal. Salt Caves are naturally occurring caves full of salt found underground. Usually, they are in remote locations and not easily accessible. Some natural salt caves can be found in the United States, Spain, Pakistan, Iran, Jordan, Columbia, Poland, Bermuda, and Romania. But due to the limited access to natural salt caves, the salt cave experience has been created above ground with the invention of the Salt Room.

A Salt Room, Salt Room Spa, or Salt Spa contains large quantities of Dead Sea Salt or Himalayan Salt and may or may not look like a natural salt cave. Salt rooms can vary from rooms lined with sea salt bricks to rooms that mimic the look of natural salt caves. Salt rooms can be either active or passive.

Active Salt Rooms (Salt Room Spas or Salt Spas) are also known as controlled salt rooms. They may look the same as natural salt caves or passive salt rooms but, they use Halogenerators to finely crush salt and spread it into the air of a controlled space. The humidity, temperature, and ventilation of salt rooms are closely monitored as they are separate microclimates. Salt particles in the air are inhaled by the occupants and believed to improve the respiratory system, detoxify the lungs, increase the vibration of the energy field and, open the chakras.

Passive Salt Rooms (Salt Room Spas or Salt Spas) may look the same as natural salt caves or active salt rooms but, they are different in that they do NOT use Halogenerators, separate controlled rooms, humidity control, or ventilation. Passive salt rooms are rooms filled with either Dead Sea Salt or Himalayan Salt. Passive salt rooms will raise the vibration of the energy field and open the chakras but since there are no salt particles in the air, they will not be as therapeutic for treating the respiratory system or detoxifying the lungs.

HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR SALT SPA EXPERIENCE

Relax and breathe. If you’re in a Natural Salt Cave or Active Salt Spa every breath you take allows you to inhale salt particles. As you breathe in, the salt particles flow through your respiratory system opening each chakra. On each exhale, congestion, cloudiness and low vibrational energy are released.

You’ll want to remove makeup before entering a Salt Spa to allow your skin to absorb the salt and release toxins and congestion.

Salt is hydrophilic so it will draw water out of your body and can be dehydrating. Counteract the dehydration by drinking plenty of water during your session. Water will also help facilitate chakra cleansing as it adds fluidity to the energetic field.

When the session is complete, you’ll want to shower to remove salt residue and sweat that may have accumulated on your skin. Finish your session with the application of a good moisturizer.

WHAT YOU MAY NOTICE

During the session, you may feel tingling on your skin as the salt draws out impurities. You may also feel lightheaded as toxins are being drawn to the surface of your body and as your chakras begin to cleanse. It’s normal to feel both refreshed and tired after a session as you adjust to the increased vibration in your energy field.

At home, continue your salt spa experience by having regular Epsom Salt, Dead Sea Salt or Himalayan Salt baths.

Whether your Salt Spa experience includes a Salt Cave, Active Salt Room or Passive Salt Room it’s worth the investment. Due to the high trace mineral content of the salts, congestion and toxins are released raising your vibrational frequency which promotes good health.
