South Carolina has been home for AnneMarie since 2001. Her favorite part of the state is Lake Jocassee. An App State alumna, it's always the mountains; the lake bonus makes it heavenly. When not writing about the state, she may be spending time with family, relaxing by the pool, or out somewhere enjoying nature.
There are certain times in day-to-day life or the overall course of our lives that come with higher levels of stress, such as the holiday season, major events, and dealing with times of crisis or loss, for example. Finding ways to mitigate stress and its effects is crucial to overall physical and mental health and well-being. This is where things like the Shvaas Spa salt cave in South Carolina come into the picture. And we can’t wait for you to see it and the other experiences this spa offers!
The cave is nature-inspired, created with tons of pure pink Himalayan salt, a natural recreation of the micro-climate of a natural salt mine. A relatively new concept for a spa in the United States, halotherapy is a method used to help cleanse and detox the lungs as well as invigorate the entire body with increased lung capacity and oxygen intake. Healthy lungs and a clean respiratory system are essential for vitality, energy, and longevity, and halotherapy has been shown to help reduce stress.
The Sunlighten saunas feature Chromotherapy, which adds an additional state of relaxation to the experience. Chromotherapy is the science of using colors to adjust body vibrations to frequencies that result in health and harmony. The color blue especially helps with stress and tension.
This type of massage allows you to remain clothed and dry for privacy and comfort with no post-session clean-up of oils or contaminated water.
The spray bar travels forward and back, massaging the full length of the body or a specific area can be selected for concentration during the massage.
The water jets simulate a fingertip massage from the center of the body to the sides of the body, and the force can be adjusted to suit your sensitivity and preference, with a consistency that cannot be duplicated by manual massage or other massage devices.

There's also a Meditation Zen Garden experience. This is an ancient Japanese-themed peaceful private sanctuary with comfortable, zero-gravity, massaging, leather chairs you can relax in while listening to guided meditations for mental health and wellness.
