Salt pipes?

I've heard salt pipes are good for anyone with chest problems, asthma and such has anyone here tried one?

Just a guess.  Is that smelling salts?  They used to use that to wake up people that were knocked out usually from boxing, but I think some emergency medical techs carry it if people just pass out or faint to wake them up.  They only thin I can tell you Violet is it is about as strong as ammonia.  I do not know if you tried to smell ammonia before.

Salt pipes are not the same as smelling salts.

I know someone who has used them with great effect, Violet. I think it would be worth it to give it a shot :)

Hi Avianscepter yes i'm very familiar with ammonia, I used to have to use it neat at work horrible stuff years ago, for anyone who's not familiar, imagine the smell of urine so strong and intensified it makes your eyes water

Thanks Kaere  

I was looking at an advert for a saltpipe this morning. They contain rock-salt crystal, so I am guessing that they work via ionisation/ozonisation. Just my guess.

Yes I make my own salt pipes, they are very good for clearing the lungs. I simply clean out a plastic tub such as a vitamin tub, punch lots of holes in the lid, then place Himalayan salt in the tub, Inhale through the lid and exhale, It will make you cough at first but it is not harmful.
