Hello MickMcG

I've never used one,but I've been looking into buying one myself and I have found one from mydeal.com.au called a Himalayan salt pipe. I have bought many things from this website before.

Thanks hard to know if these things are just a gimmick, so let me know if you have any success. Thanks, take care. God bless

Opinions and results vary from person to person as with any treatment. From what I have read, it can be good for asthma; infections thinking mucous and the magnesium can act as a bronchiodilator. It can make some people worse, which has made me a bit apprehensive, but I will start very slowly. (I have severe asthma and mild copd - former smoker ) I will give it a try (I will post the results)

This article might help. Overall, it says that there isn't scientific evidence showing it is beneficial.
