Ever been to a salt cave?

Hypothyroidism (my fixed problems now) thanks to Selenium and iodine (both in tablet forms and new salts)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothyroidism

In the process of fixing my thyroid, lost a lot of the weight I'd gain. Selenium is lacking in Scotland in general. Certain foods helps if you're problem is not major.

Exactly. I havenā€™t been taking my selenium or zinc along with vitamin D to help with my thyroid condition but a member here reminded me the other day. Those minerals really do help a lot. Thanks šŸ™

I have been to a salt cave or really a salt mine in South Poland, near the city of Krakow. It was interesting. They had a chapel down there. However, it wasn't sexy nor did they play Gregorian Music. Guess they really weren't into the tourist thing in that way! That was years ago. Maybe now they are really into the tourist business like everybody else on this planet.

I've always wanted to see the salt mine in Poland. The photos are amazing.
 
In southwestern Ontario, there are a number of commercial salt mines that run out under Lake Huron. These supply all types of salt products, from table salt to rock salt used on our highways in the winter time, to melt snow and ice. One of the oldest business types in The Bahamas is "salt panning " which uses large but shallow metal pans into which sea water is pumped. The water sits in the sun, and the water slowly evaporates, leaving rough salt crystals behind. In the 1700's, Bahamian salt was sold by the barrel, to buyers in Europe, and to the fishing trade in Eastern America and Canada. JimB.
 
Oh yes! I've been to two salt caves. I find them relaxing and I can really BREATHE in there. Hoping to go to another salt cave on my birthday next month.

By the way--Himalayan Sea Salt has another benefit. Its Pink color represents self love and compassion. :)

Salt caves are wonderful, relaxing places to go. Benefits: "Salt caves may help alleviate symptoms of asthma, allergies, respiratory issues, anxiety, depression and many other ailments." Here's a picture of the one I go to:

They have ergonomic zero gravity chairs and light therapy built into the walls. It also plays quiet Gregorian chant type music and has a twinkling starry sky on the ceiling to help with relaxation. 1 hour of bliss!!

This salt cave looks wonderful. I've enjoyed salt caves twice and definitely recommend them if you're feeling stressed or want to treat yourself to a sublime healing experience.

I have salt lamps, which I enjoy if only for the soft glow through the crystals. Iā€™m wondering if a salt cave might be a little too claustrophobic for my taste; do you feel ā€œhemmed inā€ while in one? I guess some are bigger than othersā€¦

I thought I would feel claustrophobic, too, but I wasn't. Great for meditation!
 
My sister and her husband took me to one of those salt cave experiences in the Chicago area. It wasn't a real cave, but they did a pretty good job of simulating one. It was relaxing. You just laid back in a reclining thing and listened to music and nature sounds. I didn't feel any different when I got out, but the experience was enjoyable.

However, I did tour an actual salt mine once. Yes, I licked a wall, and yep... salt. I couldn't resist.

I have been to those salt mines twice because my Dil is from Poland. Actually the miners carved many different chapels for various religions down there. The workers spent a lot of their off time praying because the work was so dangerous. All the statues, etc carved out of salt was really something to see.

Krakow is my favorite city in Europe. It was so lucky that they didnā€™t lose their beautiful churches, etc during WW 2.
 
There is a Salt Mine in Southern Germany. Not operational, only open to visitors (for a few coins) It was interesting..........
