Living Libations Salt Inhaler powerfully purifies with salt and essential oils. The salt particles combined with essential oil molecules bathe and fortify the breath. This simple tool is a breeze to use! Salt inhalers, also known as salt pipes, have been featured on the Dr. Oz show and named one of Alternative Wellbeing’s 2010 Best New Products. After experimenting with the salt inhaler, we have discovered that it works wonders when the salt is combined with essential oils. We love adding Peppermint, Frankincense, Inula, and Black Spruce oils to our inhaler. You can also try Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Douglas Fir, Silver Fir, White Fir, Balsam Fir, Longevity, Illume, and our Revive Alive Blends.
Salt Inhaler FAQs
How much salt should I add to my inhaler?
Your inhaler will come with a single bag of Himalayan Pink Salt. Add the entire contents of the bag to your inhaler.
How often does the salt need to be replaced?
The salt never needs to be replaced as long as the pipe is kept dry. Himalayan Pink Salt naturally stays clean and fresh. Yet, every few years it can be nice to start with a fresh batch of salt, easily found in bulk at any health store. The essential oils need to be refreshed as their aroma begins to fade.
How much oil should be added to the inhaler?
Start with a minimum of five drops and keep testing to see what strength you prefer. We’ve found a sweet spot at 10 drops of oil, yet it truly is a matter of personal preference and the oils that are being inhaled.
How do I add essential oils to the inhaler?
At the bottom of the inhaler, you’ll see a small opening (it looks similar to the opening on the bottom of a piggy bank). The oils can be added to this opening.
How long should I use the inhaler?
The most beneficial amount of time to use the inhaler is for a period of 5 to 10 minutes straight, where every one to two breaths are filtered through the inhaler. You can use the inhaler every day.
Why is this better/different than a Neti pot?
Neti pots require a lot of preparation, can be messy to use, and may be irritating to some people. Salt inhalers are a different experience and more meditative, they are also mess-free, easy to use, quick to set-up, and great for travel. We recommend bringing the salt inhaler along for car, train and air travel.
