Voted “Best New Therapy” of 2011 in Orlando Weekly
The Salt Room
Isak Dinesen said that salt water can cure anything – whether it’s sweat, tears or the ocean.
The Salt Room isn’t offering anything that will make you perspire or weep, just a “salt cave” (a big white room full of chaise lounges) with a salt-air circulator and the promise that “halotherapy” alleviates asthma, sinus infection, eczema, allergies and other skin and respiratory ailments. It might seem illogical to pay for artificial sea breezes when we’re only an hour from the actual beach, but who knows – that hour behind the wheel might negate the therapeutic gains. It’s not cheap – about a dollar per minute unless you buy an unlimited pass – but at a certain point in the spring when the pollen count starts to soar, we’d consider paying almost anything to stanch the sniffles.
