Salt therapy (halotherapy) has been around for years, dating back as far as the 18th century. So, while the trend is somewhat new in the states, it has been well-known and practiced throughout the world for centuries. This natural form of therapy involves inhaling dry salt, which cleanses both the airways and the skin to relieve congestion, inflammation and skin irritations.

The Kansas City Salt Mine is located in Lees Summit, but serves clients throughout Raytown, Blue Springs and Independence.
