Field Trip: Discover The Healing Power of Salt & Sound | Valley Salt Cave

Sam: 0:08

This field trip is proudly brought to you by Rogers Hood Apothecary. I’m Sam Bruno, I’m Kim Rogers, the Worm Queen, and we are the hosts of what’s Eating you, where you just might f*** around and get healed. We’re out on a field trip adventure at the Valley Salt Cave in Woodland Hills, California. Let’s go. Welcome to the Valley Salt Cave, where we are inviting you into an immersive private sound bath inside of an active alive salt cave. They have three caves inside their facility where you can enjoy halo therapy, massage and even Reiki. This is the largest of their three caves, surrounded by eight tons of pure pink Himalayan salt. And you know we had to get the mood right. The magic is in the details and we set it up beautifully just for you. So sit back and enjoy this relaxing experience.

So you are in our large Himalayan salt cave and there is about eight tons of salt in this room. All the walls are made out of Himalayan salt. The rock walls are salt rock. The flat walls from where I’m standing is salt brick. There’s about three inches of salt on the floor. So we are an active salt cave. We actually have three of them this is the big one in this facility and they’re all active. They all have their own machine called a halo generator, attached to each of our caves. We put a small amount of pure surgical grade salt into this machine. It grinds the salt grains into particles the size of a red blood cell that gets aerolized into the room you breathe it in and it goes into your lungs and essentially acts like a toothbrush for your lungs. So it helps your lungs clean themselves of everything we breathe every day.

Kari: 1:47

So, this helps with everything from allergies, asthma, sinus issues and snoring, all the way through to more serious issues like post-COVID lung repair, people who have mold in their lungs or their bodies, people recovering from any sort of upper respiratory illness. It also helps detox you helps with stress and anxiety.

Kari: 2:06

Salt is a natural mood elevator. It helps reduce inflammation in your body, it’s great for skin health, it helps people with eczema and psoriasis and it’s also really good for sleep issues. So you’ll all sleep well tonight. You won’t see the salt. You’ll definitely taste it on your lips. And then one of the other great things about being in a salt cage in community with other people the caves themselves are naturally antimicrobial, antibacterial and antiviral because of all the salt in the air and the salt you’re breathing in. So nothing can replicate in there either.

Sam: 2:39

Thank you so much for that. Thank you so much.

Kari: 2:41

I hope you enjoy it.

Sam: 2:42

If you can and you’re not driving, please sit back. No-transcript.

Speaker 4: 6:03

Let’s inhale this beautiful energy that we have in our hearts. Exhale, send it out into the world.

Britt & Bri: 6:12

Thank you everyone. Namaste.

Sam: 6:18

Thank you, thank you. Both salt and sound therapy have countless healing benefits, so let’s dive into them. We’re at the Valley Salt Cave in Woodland Hills, california, with Bree and Britt, so we had a private sound bath in the salt cave. What is it about the frequencies of the instruments? That puts the body and nervous system into a state of healing? Do they each have their own?

Kim: 6:41

frequency Does each bowl have its own frequency, so the bowls are all tuned to 432 hertz, which is very high in healing frequency. They all have their own frequencies, but they are different chakras the root chakra, and then it goes all the way up to the crown. The higher the pitch is when you’re playing them.

Sam: 6:57

Do you also feel it in your body and, if so, what does it feel like and what does it do to you and your mental state and your nervous system?

Britt & Bri: 7:10

When we’re doing a sound bath and we’re giving.

Britt & Bri: 7:11

I do feel it in my body.

Britt & Bri: 7:12

I always feel like a burst of energy after I do a sound bath. It energizes us and we know when we feel high energy we’ve been giving from the right place. We do a little meditation to really hone into that energy and then we we start to play.

Sam: 7:21

Thank you so much, both of you, for your time.

Kim: 7:26

Hi you guys, Thanks for having us Tell us a little bit about yourselves.

Kari: 7:30

Hi, thank you so much for coming and experiencing the salt cave. I’m Kari, and.

Warren: 7:36

I’m Warren.

Kari: 7:36

And we’re the owners of Valley Salt Cave. We have three caves in our facility. You guys are in our large one and while you are in the salt cave, we are pumping microscopic particles of salt into the air. You are breathing it in and it is going into your lungs and essentially acting like a toothbrush for your lungs. So what it does is you’re breathing in these microscopic particles of salt. They go in and they help clean your lungs and they open up all the alveoli in your lungs, help open them up, help clean them out. It reduces inflammation in your lungs and actually in your whole body. So this helps with everything from allergies and asthma and sinus issues all the way through to mold. It detoxes you. So we’ve had people come in actually with mold, medically documented that they have it. We’ve had people come in actually with mold medically documented that they have it, and they’ve come in and had great success in eliminating or lowering their mold count very considerably.

Kari: 8:31

You just sit in the salt cave. I mean we do things like sound baths, which you just experienced, but we do salt sessions on the hour, every hour, for 45 minutes. We have the private cave where you would be by yourself, and we have the community cave where you could be with other people. It is a Zen space if you’re there with other people. While you’re in there, we do play a guided meditation and gentle relaxing music. Our regulars sometimes don’t want music. Sometimes they just want to actually be in a sensory deprived environment, in a dark room, so we’ll shut all the lighting off. So we’re very customizable for the experience if you need it to be that way.

Warren: 9:09

So we open six days a week, except for Mondays. We closed between 10 am and 6 pm. All sessions are on the hour. We also do massages and Reiki, individuals and couples or by appointment.

Kari: 9:19

All the rooms have the machine, the halo generator, you’re getting the salt, no matter where you are in the salt cave. I mean we kind of are all salty ourselves just sitting here. There’s so many holistic benefits to salt therapy and it’s only just coming into the states actually. It’s only been around for about 15 or 20 years. Very popular, surprisingly, on the East Coast and the Midwest, and California is kind of a late bloomer to the salt therapy world. But people are discovering it for children as well. We’ve had people in our caves everywhere, from pregnant all the way through to people in their 90s, and we’ve had newborn babies even. That’s cool. There’s no restrictions.

Kim: 9:59

No age restriction.

Kari: 10:01

Everyone can do it Exactly. You can come in as a pregnant person all the way through to in your 90s and 100, if you’re around.

Warren: 10:07

That’s all natural, holistic, no negative side effects, good for all ages, for everybody.

Kim: 10:12

We appreciate you guys helping us.

Kari: 10:14
