Steam Cedar Barrel Therapy is a globally rooted wellness ritual, practiced for centuries across cultures — from Native American sweat lodges to Nordic steam baths, Eastern European banyas to Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. At Bodhi Salt, we bring this tradition forward in a gentle, modern form: full-body herbal steam in a handcrafted cedar barrel, with your head cool and breath easy.
Our sessions are enhanced with custom herbal infusions curated by Meridian Acupuncture, designed to promote deep healing, emotional reset, and energetic balance.
Safe, deeply relaxing, and naturally detoxifying — this ritual supports your body’s wisdom through warmth, herbs, and presence.
