LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Surround yourself with salt and feel the benefits.
WDRB's Keith Kaiser explores Bodhi Salt in St. Matthews, designed to combine ancient ways of healing with modern technology.
Created by wellness entrepreneurs Anna Shulgina and Dasha Grankina of Louisville, Bodhi Salt includes private salt rooms, steam cedar barrels, and a kids’ club that offers activities in English and Russian in a specialized salt room.
Bodhi Salt co-founder and co-partner Anna Shulgina and her son faced unexpected health challenges after relocating to Louisville.
Allergies and related symptoms pushed them to find alternative treatments, such as salt caves.
With the help of business partner Dasha Grankina, they created Bodhi Slat Center.
The name Bodhi Salt comes from Sanskrit “Bodhi” meaning awakening or realization.
Bodhi Salt’s 2,400 square foot space is dedicated to reducing stress levels and improving mental health for the family.
Steam Cedar Barrels from Siberia use the deep cleansing power of steam from a natural cedar barrel to detox, promote skin health, and relieve stress.
Shirodhara is an Ayurvedic treatment that involves pouring a continuous stream of warm oil or milk onto the forehead.
It is designed to soothe the nervous system, release stored emotions, and rejuvenate the spirit.
Yoga classes in the adult salt room are offered several times per week.
Grankina, a respected yogi who has been practicing since she was 16, leads the yoga classes.
