Welcome to the Salt Cave at Purple Sage
A peaceful, mineral-rich sanctuary for breath, skin, and spirit.
What Is Salt Therapy?
Halotherapy, also known as salt therapy, is a natural treatment that disperses pharmaceutical-grade salt into the air to help cleanse the respiratory system, soothe the skin, and promote a deep state of relaxation.
As you recline in our zero-gravity chairs, microscopic salt particles work gently to reduce inflammation, ease congestion, and support whole-body wellness.
