What do you do when you’re feeling stressed? Many of us veg out on the couch, plan trips to resorts, or commune with Mother Nature. But there’s an interesting new way of relaxing that might be just what you need to help you unwind. Salt therapy, or halotherapy, is a popular treatment for those with respiratory problems, but it is also a wonderful way to relax. Luckily, you don’t have to go far to try out the treatment. Here in Minnesota, we have six incredibly relaxing salt caves that you’ll never want to leave. Take a look:
At what is perhaps Minnesota's most popular salt cave, guests have a chance to experience the benefits of salt in a few different ways. Classic salt therapy involves settling in on a comfortable chair in the dimly lit cave for a relaxation session unlike any you've ever had. If you'd prefer to be a bit more active, why not take a yoga class in the salt cave? Whatever you choose, it's guaranteed to be a unique - and totally rejuvenating - experience. Address: 4811 Nicollet Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55419.
Here's another completely relaxing salt cave that will transport you to another world. The salt-lined walls and dim lighting of this salt sanctuary will help you put your worries away. Most sessions run about 45 minutes, and there's even the option of adding guided meditation if you need a little help letting go. Address: 240 Minnetonka Ave. S. #103, Wayzata, MN 55391.
SALT is a full-service spa whose mission is to help guests feel at home no matter what treatment they're there for. Salon services include haircuts and microblading, but the salt room is not to be missed. A 45-minute session is $35, and you'll walk away completely relaxed. Schedule a salt room massage for added relaxation, and feel the tension melt away instantly. Address: 3947 Excelsior Blvd., Minneapolis, MN 55416.

Those at Just For Me Spa have thought of everything. While awaiting salt spa treatment, guests are invited to warm their feet on Himalayan salt domes!
