So many chldren suffer from asthma and according to this article, a large U.S. analysis showed overweight children eating more zinc-rich foods had up to 29% lower odds of asthma and fewer attacks compared to peers. If you are vegetarian or vegan, zinc supplementation could be needed as most zinc is found in animal products and eggs. Let the Vermont Salt Cave be your source for zinc supplementation.

Zinc is an essential mineral that protects your cells from free radicals and supports immune function. Now, tests show that it also plays a role in managing asthma.

This afternoon I posted the announcement from the government regarding autism along with the changes that will be done to labeling of products as a result of the investigations into autism. Within 30 minutes of posting there were several comments on my post that clearly showed that the subject of autism and its causes are deeply controversial and as we never want to cause any stress with our clients or indeed to ourselves, we have removed the post. Our post was in no way intended to be a political post but merely to break the news about the change in standing on the subject of tylenol and other pharmaceutical products.

We sell organic black seed oil at the Vermont Salt Cave. The seeds are referenced by the Prophet Muhammad, as “A remedy for every illness except death.” They are also mentioned in the Bible and ancient Greek medicine. It was often called “the herb from heaven,” and in the Bible, it is mentioned as “ketzah,” a spice for bread and cake. In the Jewish tradition, it’s seen as part of a sacred covenant where all plants are given as food that sustains both physical and spiritual health, thereby linking bodily care to honoring God. In all cases, the seeds are associated with divine grace.

Yet another tropical fruit with profoundly healing qualities. Always let food be your medicine.

A fascinating study from the University of California, San Francisco reveals that drinking high-flavanol cocoa twice a day for 30 days doubled circulating stem cells in participants compared to controls. Even more impressively, the same group showed a 47% boost in endothelial function, which is key for healthy blood vessels and circulation. Researchers attribute these benefits to compounds like epicatechin, a natural flavonoid in cocoa, known for improving blood flow and aiding tissue repair.

This research highlights how something as simple as organic cocoa could support cardiovascular health, regeneration, and long-term vitality — making it more than just a treat, but a potential health booster.

At the Vermont Salt Cave we now have a wonderful series of musical books that cover the works of the great musical masters - Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Chopin and more. Each book has the music of these masters - different compositions of amazing coherent music along with pictures and a story to be enjoyed by anyone one year old and older. Come and check them out and provide structured music for your children and grandkids to enjoy along with an enjoyable book to read.

A University of Washington study in PNAS shows that 9-month-old infants exposed to structured music sessions developed stronger neural responses in auditory and prefrontal regions. Using magnetoencephalography, researchers found music improved pattern recognition and predictive coding, skills vital for language and cognitive growth. Early rhythmic experiences may accelerate learning by tuning the brain to detect order in sound.

This morning on my morning walk prior to opening the Vermont Salt Cave, I paused when I saw a fallen leaf. At first glance, I thought it held a piece of glass in it—sharp, fragile, even dangerous. But as I looked closer, I realized it was simply rainwater. Gentle. Clear. Reflective.

Life so often asks us to look again. What we fear may be nothing more than a reflection, waiting for us to shift our perspective. What seems hard may actually hold softness. What appears broken may simply be showing us another layer of beauty.

That’s why I love our Vermont Salt Cave— it is a crystal cavern here in the Green Mountains and just like that moment with the leaf earlier, meditation in the salt cave invites us to see beneath the surface, to rest in clarity, and to find the peace that is always there.

Take a breath. Step inside our cave. Let your perspective soften.

Someone came to the salt cave today wanting to know about our Bio-well scans but was afraid it was just an opportunity to sell a Bio-well machine or products to her. We had never thought this might be a concern and so want to make it quite clear what our stand is on this. There is zero pressure or thought to sell or force anything on our clients. We hope this post below makes it clear. We are just thankful that we were exposed to this technology and can bring it to Vermont. Knowledge is key to so much including health and Bio-well gives us knowledge of our energy fields.
