How to Use a Salt Pipe
A salt pipe is a device that aids with respiratory diseases. The saltpipe contains two filters composed of Halite salt crystals. The salt crystals purify the air as it flows over the filters and enters the lungs, where it aids with the absorption of oxygen. It unclogs the bronchi and destroys microbes that may cause inflammation. The salt pipe is ergonomically designed and intended for daily use. It is touted as a natural remedy for respiratory ailments and an alternative to medication.
