Indianapolis Salt Cave And Halotherapy Center

Overview

The Indianapolis Salt Cave is a premier halotherapy wellness center and holistic spa located in a historic firehouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. Opened in March 2018, it specializes in drug-free, natural treatments using pink Himalayan salt, infrared technology, and contrast therapy to promote healing for respiratory issues, skin conditions, pain relief, detoxification, and overall relaxation. The facility recreates therapeutic micro-climates mimicking underground salt mines, combined with modern amenities like infrared saunas and cold plunges.

The overall atmosphere is calm, serene, and restorative, emphasizing a fragrance-free environment to accommodate sensitivities. Visitors describe it as a space to “turn off, relax, and transform mental and physical health,” with cool, humid salt cave settings (60-65°F), private or small-group sessions, and a focus on holistic healing through halotherapy, detoxification, and recovery therapies. It’s by appointment only, with a strict closed-door policy for privacy and sanitation.
