CT Salt and Light Wellness Spa

CT Salt and Light in East Lyme combines halotherapy with light therapy and heat, on the Connecticut shoreline between New London and Old Saybrook.

East Lyme holds Rocky Neck State Park, with one of the better public beaches on Long Island Sound and a boardwalk over the salt marsh behind it. The town also covers Niantic, its main village, on the bay of the same name.

Salt therapy involves sitting in a room where micronised salt is dispersed into dry air, typically for around forty-five minutes. It descends from the observed respiratory health of European salt miners; the evidence supports some respiratory applications and is weaker for the broader claims.

Light therapy uses red and near-infrared wavelengths absorbed directly by tissue. The evidence is better established for dermatological uses than for systemic ones.

Both pair well with heat because both ask nothing of the participant beyond sitting still, which makes a longer session viable.

East Lyme sits off I-95 with Amtrak service nearby at Old Saybrook and New London. Sessions run on fixed times; book ahead.
