| - I'm the kind of girl who gets excited about organic juice, Pilates and natural medicine. Yep, I'm a California girl living in Charlotte. While I love living here, there are certain things I miss. So when my girlfriend told me about the Himalayan salt room and infrared sauna at KUR, I knew I had to go. Then, when my doctor told me about the benefits of infrared sauna therapy, I booked my first appointment. To give you an idea of how awesome this place is, I've been twice in the last 5 days.
Visit one:
When I walked into KUR, the first thing I noticed was how clean and peaceful the place is. It has a European feel with a dash of southern hospitality. I was greeted by Dave, one of the owners, and his daughters who also work at the spa. I thought I would just be shown the way to the sauna, but instead I was offered a refreshing alkaline water with a frozen, organic strawberry, and given the tour and story behind KUR. I won't spoil the story, but I would highly suggest you hear the purpose behind what Dave and Renata have put together at KUR. It's much more than a business for this family. They truly care about each customer who comes through the door, and they are committed to helping people improve their health and sense of well being.
After the tour, I was offered a foot bath with Frankincense infused salt to help relax the body and mind. I was then guided to my private suite where a sauna was adjusted to a power to help me with my health goals. The cool thing about this sauna is it is a bed with a cover which allows the user to fully relax, while the infrared waves warm every part of the body. After 15 minutes, one of Dave's daughter's offered a cool and refreshing spritz of rose water on my face and cold compresses for my eyes. Once my session was complete, I was offered more water and a homemade chocolate covered strawberry. Delightful!
Visit 2:
On my tour during visit 1, I learned of the antiviral and antibacterial benefits of a salt room. I was struggling with congestion after getting the flu so I thought I would give it a try. When I arrived, Dave and his wife Renata greeted me with hugs and welcomed me back into their spa like I was family. Before the salt room experience, I was invited to a foot bath with essential oil. This time, I experienced a complimentary foot scrub and massage by Renata. O.M.G. it was better than massages I've gotten during a pedicure, not to mention my feet were silky smooth after. Renata is an RN, and you can tell how much she enjoys caring for people.
Ok, let me tell you this isn't some salt room with salt lamps or a salt wall that you sit in and hope the salt somehow makes its way to you. While there is a salt wall, there is also very finely ground Himalayan salt sprayed into the air. Don't worry, its so fine that you can't even tell you're breathing it in. Renata told me to inhale through nose and mouth to really let the salt work in my sinuses and airway. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical about the benefits of sitting in this room for 30 minutes. That was until my sinuses cleared and my cough disappeared. This is going to be a regular visit for allergy and cold relief. And during the Summer, I'll enjoy replenishing my electrolytes in the salt room as well.
There's one other machine at KUR that I have not tried yet. It promises to bring much-needed pain relief to people who suffer from muscle and joint pain. Once I try it out, I promise to report back. I HIGHLY recommend KUR. I promise you wont be disappointed. Please note, I am not a friend or family member, I'm simply a thrilled customer who wants to spread the word.
