Mihika V, a management consultant and user of indipepal.com from Mumbai, India, recently published a virgin diary entitled “I have Never…Tried Salt Cave Therapy” in which he describes his experience trying salt therapy for the first time. Before salt therapy, he had tried any number of cures to help him with his sinus issues, ranging from waking up every morning with a stuffed nose, a running nose during the day and a wheezy chest. He was also allergic to so many things that it only “would take a single whiff of a flower or someone’s strong perfume to send me into a tizzy state of sneezes.”
Desperate, Mihika flew all the way to London to give salt therapy a try. He was surprised by what he found:
As I entered the man-made salt cave, I immediately warmed up to it. It reminded me of a winter wonderland and the beaches of Miami at the same time. The walls and the floor were completely covered in a thick dense crust of white salt. The sun loungers, footstools with magazines, and the sound of waves filled the room. But only this was better, the saline smell that usually bothered me at the beaches wasn’t present here. As the lights were dimmed, I settled on my bench.
I spent the next one hour, flipping through magazines, meditating for a bit and even caught a wink in the last 15-minutes. The air in the room just felt exceptionally clean and clear. An hour later, when the lights went up, I felt invigorated and most importantly my nose felt less blocked.
Returning home, Mihika found that his sinuses remained clear for about a week following his time at the UK Salt Cave and his friends even commented that he sounded less nasal than before.
