Salt Cave Photography

Photography is one of the things that my wife really enjoys which is good. This particular bit of photography is when she wasn't feeling well! Even not feeling well she has a knack for it that's for sure lol.

We've heard about Salt Caves as a way to help heal and keep people healthy for a few years but we never tried it until recently. My wife had a cold and it was one that was pretty bad for her on the mucus level. She kept getting the shit running and that of course turned into a cough, one hell of a persistent cough at that!

One of the things that we read for persistent coughs is, if you can and have one near you, try to visit a Salt Cave. The Salt Cave is exactly what it sounds like lol it's not a cave but it's a place that has a shit load of salt everywhere! There is a lot of research apparently on the positive benefits of being in an environment that has an abundance of salt in the air. They realized this when the salt miners were never getting sick despite everyone around them falling ill. They looked into it and it's got a lot of merit which is cool! They've even started using this to treat people with a bad cough from the China flu which is great! Alternatives are what we need more than anything for sure.

So my wife visited the salt caves and damn they were really awesome looking! Let's ignore the health benefits of it for a little while lol. The mood of the place is supposed to be deep as a way to try to bring relaxation and stuff. Using these dark amber colors really brings it out I think!

The place is kind of like a lounge, in that it's got these lawn chairs strewn all over the place and the salt is blown in through a vent in the wall on the right side I think there. They say you should sit somewhere around the room and you'll get the benefits but my wife was in desperate straights so she sat right underneath the damn thing lol gotta OD on the stuff sometimes!

The walls are filled with massive chunks of salt glued to them which is pretty cool. I don't know if it's recommended to lick it or anything.. but I guess anything is possible lol I wouldn't recommend it that's for sure!

The lights in the room really make it look pretty wild. I haven't gone myself but I do plan on going once or twice after she gets better, she's been fairly uncomfortable with the damn cough because it just persists. Thankfully we've got things like this nearby where we can go visit them and she can get some good alternative therapies!

The closeups she got were really awesome! I am digging it for sure lol she has a good eye for it. This kind of reminds me of a chunk of lava rock or something at the top of a volcano, pretty cool!
