ALLERGY SEASON IS UPON US!!!! In honor of spring making its way into Chardon, we decided to have a repost featuring SALTY! Owners Candice and Brandon Zinner created Salty as a place for anyone to relax, recharge, and rejuvenate after experiencing the benefits of integrating halotherapy and natural remedies into their own self-care. Candice, specifically, discovered it helped with her allergies most. In this fast-paced, always-on-the-go society, it’s important to slow down and recharge. So, take a few moments for yourself. Breathe in and relax.
