Breathe Deep, Alaska: A Natural Wellness Oasis
Contributed by Billie Jo Christensen
Nestled in the heart of Wasilla, The Salt Cave of Alaska is now under new ownership and welcoming the Mat-Su community to experience the calming, detoxifying benefits of halotherapy, also known as dry salt therapy. Our man-made cave is located in the Clock Tower and contains 10,000 lbs of Pink Himalayan Salt.
Originating in Eastern Europe and gaining popularity across the globe, halotherapy involves sitting in a room filled with pharmaceutical-grade salt particles dispersed into the air by a specialized halo-generator. These microscopic salt particles are inhaled deep into the lungs and absorbed through the skin, helping reduce inflammation, clear congestion, and support overall respiratory and immune function.
“People are walking out breathing easier, sleeping better, and feeling more grounded after just a few sessions,” says Lindsey. “It’s gentle, safe, and effective for both adults and kids—and the best part is, you’re just relaxing in a peaceful, spa-like space while your body does the healing.”
Conditions that may benefit from regular salt cave sessions include asthma, allergies, sinus issues, chronic cough and congestion, skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis, stress, fatigue, and poor sleep. Lindsey explains, "We recently had a new testimony from a customer suffering from low oxygen. He came in at 83% and left the cave after a 45-minute session at 97%. He now comes in two times a week as part of his health care routine."
The Salt Cave of Alaska offers both private and individual sessions, as well as specialty experiences like sound baths, toddler time, and plans to add massage, reiki/guided meditations, and wellness events—all inside the beautifully designed cave with its glowing Pink Himalayan salt walls and peaceful ambiance.
Whether you’re looking to breathe easier, boost your immunity, or simply take a break from the hustle of everyday life, we have elevated the experience for our customers. This hidden gem is a must-visit for those seeking natural ways to recharge and restore. Come experience the calm at The Salt Cave of Alaska.
