I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
Do you ever forget to breathe? Or find yourself holding in tension, unwanted thoughts, stress… all sorts of negative energy? Same. As a working mom of four who has a tendency to “hold the weight of the world” on her shoulders, I have a hard time relaxing and often need permission, or at least a sign, to just let go. Well, let today’s feature destination be your sign. Located in one of the most glorious regions of Ohio, Hocking Hills Serenity Salt Cave is a marvelous destination on a marvelous mission: to let guests relax, refresh, and breathe.
As soon as you step foot inside Hocking Hills Serenity Salt Cave, you'll undoubtedly say "ahhhh."
This salt cave in Ohio is a self-described "sacred space" that invites guests to come and relax, unplug, unwind, and simply find peace from hectic days and daily stressors of life.
There are a few ways to achieve total R&R here, depending on what you're seeking. The Zen Den (pictured here) is exactly as it sounds: this low-lit room features a chorus of heated Himalayan salt domes which are touted for their potential to increase circulation, reduce inflammation and toxins, stress relief and relief of aches and pains for a variety of conditions.
However, if you arrived at Hocking Hills Serenity Salt Cave for the titular caves, you won't be disappointed! Book a single-person session, where you'll be in a room with up to three other people, or a private group session, which reserves the entire cave for parties of up to six people.
So what exactly happens inside a salt cave? Magic! Well, basically. Inside this Ohio spa's handcrafted salt cave, you will find a perimeter of Himalayan salt boulders, some weighing up to 350 pounds, and a bed of Himalayan granulated salt resting amid the floor.
The Himalayan salt is millions of years old and sourced directly from the Himalayas. It contains 84 trace minerals absorbable by the human body.
Whether you opt to "zen" out or give halotherapy a try, one thing's for certain: you'll leave this Ohio salt cave much lighter, less stressed, and more content! Ahhh.
Are you as fascinated by this holistic therapy as I am? Taking a “time out” to soak up the benefits of halotherapy sounds like a day well spent, for sure! Learn more and book your experience at this Ohio salt cave by visiting the Hocking Hills Serenity Salt Cave website.
