The Salt Cave

What The Salt Cave does

The Salt Cave is a UK-based private clinic operator that delivers Salt Therapy (halotherapy) for the treatment of respiratory and skin conditions. The company was founded in 2007 by Denes Gal and operates a direct-to-consumer, in-clinic treatment model with its primary location in South West London (Earlsfield Road) and a secondary clinic in Edinburgh, Scotland. The legal entity is The Salt Cave Ltd., also registered as Allergy&Asthma Ltd. Customers sit in treatment rooms where the proprietary Breeze Tronic Pro medical device reproduces the microclimate of a natural salt cave by generating dry aerosol salt at controlled particle sizes, with strategic sensors monitoring salt concentration in real time.

The company's core product is its Salt Therapy session, targeting conditions including asthma, sinusitis, COPD, hayfever, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, cough, eczema, psoriasis, and Long COVID symptoms. Revenue is generated primarily through pay-as-you-go treatment sessions, with a first-time promotional price of £15 and repeat sessions at higher rates. The Salt Cave also separately commercializes the Breeze Tronic Pro device through a sister site (saltchalet.co.uk), suggesting a nascent device-sales revenue stream alongside the clinical services business. The company cites clinical trial efficacy of 85% improvement in mild/moderate asthma, 75% in severe asthma, and 97% in chronic bronchitis/bronchiectasis/cystic fibrosis (Chervinskaya, 1995), and reports over 93,000 patients served in its first decade with 9-out-of-10 satisfaction.

The Salt Cave has earned media coverage from BBC, The Telegraph, The Guardian, Daily Mail, and the London Evening Standard, and references a project with the UK National Health Service. The company has no disclosed external funding rounds, no parent company, and operates as a founder-owned private limited company with 11–50 employees.
