$35 for 3 Salt Therapy Sessions at Salt Chalet ($185 Value)
Get relief for respiratory problems (colds, asthma, bronchitis) and skin conditions with relaxing salt-air treatments at this pioneering Encino spa. Salt Chalet’s soothing, natural therapy circulates tiny particles of Dead Sea salt through the air.  Adults recline on lounge chairs and kids play with sand toys as they receive their treatment. The kids’ room is called a treatment room, but the kids think of it as a great big indoor sandbox (filled with salt, not dirt).  True believers swear the treatment opens air passages, clears mucus, and boosts the immune system like nothing else. Spa regulars love how restful the experience is (some bring their iPods, some really unwind and take a nap).  And kids are so happy playing with the salt that they don’t even know they’re getting a treatment.  So consider Salt Chalet one more weapon in the war against the common cold.
