I suffer from sleep apnea. After my first visit I went home that night and didn’t use the sleep machine to see if the session helped. It did, and I was able to sleep for 4 hours without the machine. I snored but it wasn’t a gasping for air type of snore — it was a light snore and it has been this way for the last two nights. I would recommend the Salt Room for anyone suffering from sleep apnea or snoring. I will definitely be back on my next visit to Orlando. — Flora from Punta Gorda, FL

Tried and Tested: Salt Cave Therapy

The Treatment Room of the Salt Cave in London Wahanda content editor Judy Johnson recently made her first visit to The Salt Cave in Wandsworth, London and reported about her experience at Wahanda’s Wellness Wonders blog. She entered the Salt Cave with a blocked nose (“courtesy of the winter cold and flu season) but after only a short time felt both clear, calmer, and appears to have had a good experience.

In her article, Ms. Johnson raises some interesting facts:

1 in 3 Londoners have an allergy
1 in 13 suffer from asthma
Salt caves are incredibly common in Eastern Europe, where people with chronic conditions often spend two to three hours a day in “salt grottos”
In Russia, salt caves were approved for medical use almost 15 years ago.
After around 20 sessions, the benefits last up to 6 months
It is particularly effective for children with respiratory issues.

In her article, Ms. Johnson describes the The Salt Cave (which is located within a 100 year old converted church) as having a hygienic, clinical interior, a friendly waiting room and “a room resembling a snow covered chamber” (filled with salt!).

I Have Never…Tried Salt Cave Therapy (Review)

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.
