Breathe Salt Vault

For a relaxing experience focused on wellness, Breathe Salt Vault is the perfect place to unplug with dry salt therapy.
While a machine called a halogenerator disperses pure sodium chloride into the air, you will simply lay back to relax and unplug during a 45-minute session. Bring a warm pair of socks and your favorite cozy blanket to snuggle in during your visit. You may choose the Relaxation Salt room with a serene feel and glowing wall of Himalayan salt or the Oceanside Salt room with the sound of beach waves and a floor covered in salt.
Dry salt has three natural properties; it is anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and super absorbent. This makes halotherapy a safe modality to ease respiratory, sinus, and skin issues including bronchitis, asthma, lingering congestion and cough, snoring, COPD, ear infections, psoriasis, eczema and much more. Dry salt therapy can also enhance lung capacity and stamina for athletes, singers, and presenters. The negative charge and high surface energy of dry salt particles from a halogenerator aids to calm and relax helping with stress, anxiety and fatigue. Many adults and children who visit Breathe Salt Vault have been known to experience an exceptional night's sleep after they visit. To add even more bliss to your salt session, visit during a massage pop-up date and enjoy the warmth of hot Himalayan salt stones in our Oceanside Salt Vault!
Inhale. Exhale. Be Well.
