Antidote Apothecary & Spa, Sanford

Hundreds of years ago, apothecary shops were filled with vials and jars of natural, herbal remedies and potions concocted to heal human ailments. Today, while apothecaries no longer exist per se, the ailments they treated still do, and it's these kinds of troubles that Antidote Apothecary & Spa addresses with its services and products. Of particular note is its salt therapy, also known as halotherapy, used for centuries to address myriad problems like respiratory issues, allergies, and skin disorders. At Antidote, halotherapy is administered in a room outfitted with a special halogenerator from Eastern Europe, which creates a controlled microclimate like a salt cave. Sitting in the room's comfy chairs and ottomans, guests simply kick back, relax, and breathe deeply to reap the cleansing and detoxifying benefits of the air around them.
