I bought another brand very similar to this one so there would not be a difference in effectiveness most likely.
I wanted to review this in hopes others who suffer from allergies might read my review and get relief as I did. I was at the point where I was using a dust mask to do housework and also using my inhaler twice daily. I'd cough uncontrollably if I didn't. Even so, I was still coughing and feeling very uncomfotable. I had problems being close to my cats most often. The inhaler makes me hyper so there was that to reckon with as well.
After a month of using a salt inhaler, I'm not longer using the Advair inhaler and I don't cough either. I forgot to use it for about 4 days and noticed I was relapsing into the coughing spells a bit. You can bet I won't let it go for that long again! I hope others who read this and try it find it as helpful as I did. I hope never to have to rely on the drug type stuff again!
UPDATE: March 29th--still not using inhaler!! HOWEVER, I have to remember to do the treatment faithfully because I can tell If I don't do it even for a day.

(I have a very similar Himalayan crystal salt inhaler to this one- not this exact one, but I wanted to share my experience)

My mom was bugging for me to try the salt pipe for a while, as I've suffered from increased asthma/ respiratory ailments since moving to Los Angeles 8 years ago. I have to admit- I was skeptical, and it seemed a bit too hippy-dippy for it to really be all that effective. However, she finally purchased one for me after my Advair had ceased to help anymore, and my coughing fits were getting worse and more frequent.

All I can say is WOW. I noticed a HUGE improvement within a few days of using it. I had all this gunk come up from my lungs (you do cough up a bit of congestion, but better out than in, right?), and the coughing went away as well. I was surprised at how effective this was- I let it lapse for a week, and my coughing rebounded- started back on it and the coughing went away.

My advair ran out the same time I started the salt pipe, and I haven't had to refill the prescription since. I'm glad I've found a replacement- the advair isn't cheap, and even though this seems like it'd be a pain to use the pipe for 10-15 minutes a day, you just use it while watching TV or on the internet, and it goes by without you even noticing it.

The only thing is to watch out that you don't breathe out through your mouth. (you can get the salt wet that way, which makes it less effective)

I would HIGHLY recommend to anybody suffering from respiratory problems from air pollution/ asthma, etc...

Something has to be spectacular for me to write a review; I rarely write reviews. I've had horrible asthma for over 20 years; mine is allergy related only. I can't tell you how many times I've been hospitalized. Then, I took allergy injections for almost 10 years until one time I passed out from an asthma attack right in the doctor's office and went into anaphylactic shock.

I tried the Salt Air inhaler out of desperation; I lost my medical benefits and had to do SOMETHING about my asthma. My asthma medication (during allergy season) cost over $200 per month and I couldn't afford it! The salt air inhaler helped me immediately; in the past 6 months of use, I only needed my rescue inhaler a few times and that was because I was around black mold. I admit that I never would have tried this if I hadn't needed an alternative to the prescriptions, seen it on "Doctor Oz" and decided I had nothing to lose. It is one of the BEST purchases I have ever made! Allergy season hasn't even ended and I've stopped using it for now; my asthma is COMPLETELY controlled!

I have asthma so when Dr Oz recommended a salt pipe I couldn't get to my computer fast enough to find one This was just what I wanted, it has a rubber lid on the bottom so I don't have to place the pipe down without something to protect it and keep it clean. Not all of them come with a lid.

It also has Himalayan salt included, so you don't have to buy your own, it lasts three years.

When I asked my allergist about this salt pipe he recommended that I get it. So if you want to help your symptoms, I would say go get this salt pipe. The customer service at Solay is awesome besides!

Although it cannot and should not replace a rescue inhaler for asthma sufferes, it is naature's way of reducing one's dependcy on medication with daily use. The salt does reduce inflammation and promotes healing of air passages. And I find it to be soothing - like spending some time at the beach. Explains why I always preferred beach vacations in Mexico or the Caribean, as opposed to skiing in Vermont or New Hampshire!

Excellent service from this company and an excellent product. I would have liked more detail prior to purchase; clarity on the 2 bags of salt that come with it. This is a major bonus but was not clear in the description. Very happy with the product, gentler than the netty pot and seems as, if not more effective.

You know that freight train sound in the night? Well thats me! I was wondering if anyone has bought the salt inhaler for just snoring? I don't have alergies or any other breathing problem's (knock on wood) but for a female I can put any man to shame when it comes to snoring. Would anyone out there recommend this for that reason? Please help! Thanks

This did absolutely nothing for my sinuses! What a waste of time and $40!! Inhaling through the mouth doesn't seem to get any vapor into my nose which is where it's needed. Don't waste your money!!
