When we first started, we added 10 drops of oil to each inhaler and found that after two weeks the aroma benefits were still active. The salt/essential oil combination does a great job of flushing out impurities from your respiratory system.<br />When you inhale through the mouthpiece, micron particles and beneficial essential oil molecules are absorbed by the salt and permeate the entire respiratory system, cleansing the sinuses, nasal passages, throat and lungs. This inhaler comes with Himalayan Pink Salt, which is known to be incredibly pure and filled with beneficial minerals and bio-energetic properties.</p> <p>As you inhale a blend of purified salt and beautiful essential oils, smoke particles, allergens, asthma triggers, and respiratory irritants are flushed from the body. The salt inhaler is also phenomenal for treating sinus congestion and colds, and is great for clearing the breathing process during air travel.</p> <p>The salt inhaler works best when used in combination with essential oils that are known for their ability to restore the respiratory system.

You can also try eucalyptus, rosemary, douglas fir, silver fir, white fir, balsam fir, lungevity, Immune Illume, and our Deep Breathing Blend. It’s also fun to combine your breathing essential oils with a beautiful floral essential oil like neroli or cape chamomile, then you can breathe in a world of fragrant flowers too.</p> <p>The salt used in our Salt Inhalers is organic and sourced directly from the foothills of the Himalayas.
