TO TOE TO SOUL Asheville Salt Cave & Healing Arts Room
Asheville’s only salt cave, located in the heart of downtown, is a therapeutic retreat built of 20 tons of pure pink salt, replicating the unique microclimate of a salt mine. The air in the manmade cave is saturated with negative ions, and the salt rock crystals release 84 trace elements and minerals that are necessary for the homeostasis of our bodies. Soak up those good vibes in a public session, a private session, or a couples massage. AshevilleSaltCave.com
