Not visited a salt cave, but I do have a salt pipe, I got it off Amazon. They don't work for everyone, so if you do get to visit a salt cave first, you could perhaps invest in a pipe if the cave works.

Would be interested to hear how you get on as there is one quite near me.

People I know who belong to a COPD group tried it a year or so ago. I hear that some found it very helpful, others not so much but unfortunately the results are not long lasting it seems.

Myself and some members of my group use a salt pipe, as mentioned by poemsgalore1. They seem very helpful.

Hi piglet i myself have copd stage 5 used the salt caves in Edinburgh, I thought it was great, you get the 1st one free, but it takes 2 or 3 times for you to feel the difference,i can understand it's not for everybody but I felt it helped me do light house walk better than I had been, I had a mastectomy and it was difficult for me to get there, I used to tell him to build one over the bridge so I could go every day, he sells the salt pipes, and gives deals for block bookings, as I said it's not for everybody hope this helps x
