Salt therapy is a natural remedy that has been used around the globe for centuries… and luckily, the U.S. has taken note lately. The process involves relaxing in a warm, dimly lit cave full of dry, heated pharmaceutical grade salt. And while many people will swear by its health benefits, this would be an amazing place to spend an afternoon regardless. We have a beautiful salt cave right here in Montana called SaltBox Dry Salt Therapy, and you’ll definitely want to experience it for yourself.

SaltBox Dry Salt Therapy opened in early 2019 in Whitefish.

After years of suffering from regular sinus infections, Pam Barberis discovered salt therapy, which offered her immediate relief. She was so convinced of its benefits, she left her landscape gardening business and opened this one.
Here's how it works: the dry pharmaceutical grade salt is heated, then it's ground and crushed into tiny particles and dispersed into the salt cave.

As you relax in the cave, you breathe in those tiny particles, which penetrate your lungs and sink into your skin. This is called halotherapy, and it's said that it boosts immunity and helps with chronic illnesses, asthma, skin conditions, and more.
At SaltBox, you can book a 45-minute session in the salt cave (for $37) and choose between a public session and a private room.
