The Salt Cave Opening In Newtown

Newtown will soon have a therapeutic salt cave.

The Salt Cave, with a location in Doylestown, will be opening in Newtown soon. The Salt Cave will be located on State Street, across the street from The Temperance House. It is expected to open in September, business representatives tell Patch.

The therapeutic salt cave uses pink Himalayan salt to offer relief for numerous conditions, including asthma, allergies, depression, common colds, cystic fibrosis, acne, arthritis, and more, according to its website. It is known as Halotherapy.

"For centuries, monks used naturally-occurring salt caverns to treat respiratory ailments. Today, manmade Saltrooms recreate salt caverns, with one huge improvement over nature: in a Halotherapy room, a salt vapor machine pumps pharmaceutical grade dry aerosol salt vapor into the air, so you can breathe it deep into your lungs.

Sessions are 45 minutes long.

"Relax and detox in a tranquil and beautiful environment in one of our zero gravity recliners, Pillows and blankets are also available for your added comfort. While chilling in the cave, meditative music plays as you escape from the everyday busy life," the website says.

The Doylestown location is on North Main Street.
