How a Himalayan Salt Inhaler Can Improve Your Health!

by Janice FERGUSON on May 25, 2020

Himalayan salt lamps have become more popular over the years - but have you ever considered using a Himalayan salt inhaler for your health? Himalayan salt pipes and inhalers are ideally suited for people who suffer from asthma, allergies and sinus issues. Using a Himalayan salt inhaler (otherwise known as “Salt therapy” or “Halotherapy”) is a natural, chemical-free way to improve your respiratory health. Keep reading as we explain exactly how Himalayan salt inhalers work, and their amazing benefits for health and wellness.

How do Himalayan salt inhalers work?

Salt therapy can actually be traced right back to Ancient Greece, where people would flock to salt-lined caves to improve their respiratory issues. The practice quickly spread throughout Eastern Europe, where Polish salt-miners were reported to have above-average immune systems (specifically, their lung health) due to their time spent in salt caves!  The growing popularity of salt therapy led to the creation of designated ‘salt rooms’, now available to visit in locations across the globe. A Himalayan salt inhaler is simply a more convenient way to experience these same benefits in your everyday life. So, how exactly do they work? Himalayan salt inhalers contain pure Himalayan salt crystals. Microscopic portions of these salt crystals are absorbed through the natural moisture in the air as you inhale, and are carried deep into your lungs. This allows your body to benefit from the detoxifying, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of the salt crystals. 

What are the benefits of Himalayan salt inhalers?

There are many different reasons to consider using a Himalayan salt pipe or inhaler to improve your overall health. Here are just a few of the wellness benefits that Himalayan salt pipes can provide:
  • Himalayan salt inhalers can improve respiratory health
As mentioned above, Himalayan salt crystals have unique anti-inflammatory properties.  Many common respiratory diseases such as asthma are inflammatory by nature, and a Himalayan salt inhaler can help to combat this.
  • Himalayan salt inhalers can reduce allergy symptoms
Himalayan salt inhalers are extremely popular with allergy sufferers, as salt therapy helps to protect and coat our mucus membranes. This, in turn, balances our histamine response in the lungs and sinus, which can consequently reduce allergy symptoms.
  • Himalayan salt inhalers can detoxify the air
Think about all of the toxins and pollutants we breathe in each day, from electronic smog to dust and car fumes. Himalayan salt is a natural detoxifier, so just 15 minutes a day with your Himalayan salt inhaler can help to purify and cleanse the air you’re breathing. 
  • Himalayan salt inhalers can reduce your stress levels
Some studies have shown that Himalayan salt may increase our levels of serotonin - the “feel good” chemical! Serotonin helps us relieve stress and provides a natural, revitalising energy boost.
