HOW IT WORKS

Breathe Easy, Wherever You Are

The Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® Inhaler is one of the few salt inhalers made in the USA, adhering to strict quality control processes. Inspired by centuries-old practices such as halotherapy and speleotherapy, it provides a simple way to breathe air that passes over natural salt. As you inhale, microscopic salt particles help maintain moisture along the mucous membranes, supporting the body’s natural process of reducing the excess build up of mucus and reducing the viscosity (thickness) for overall respiratory comfort and easy breathing.* At the same time, salt naturally creates a anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal environment that helps support a cleaner, more refreshing internal environment in the sinuses, bronchi, and lungs to promote respiratory comfort and wellness.* The inhaler supports respiratory comfort and overall breathing in two ways:

Breathe Easy, Wherever You Are

Supports thinning and clearing of mucus

As you inhale, air passes through the salt chamber and over natural salt crystals. Microscopic salt particles lightly coat the mucous membranes, helping support moisture balance and normal mucus consistency. This supports the body’s natural clearing process for smooth, comfortable breathing.*

Creates a naturally dry, mineral-rich air environment

Inside the inhaler, the salt chamber creates a low-moisture, mineral-rich airflow. Breathing this air can help the airways feel clear and balanced, supporting overall respiratory comfort.*

How to use

Inhale through the mouth and exhale through the nose for 10-20 minutes, morning and night. As air passes through the salt chamber, microscopic salt particles are carried with the airflow, supporting natural respiratory cleansing and comfort.* Tip: Using the inhaler before bed may support nighttime breathing comfort, especially for those prone to postnasal drip or congestion.*

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SALTS

The Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® Difference

Salt Comparison Chart +

Unlike common table salt, which is heavily processed, often including bleach, anti-caking agents and stripped down to mostly sodium and chloride, and sea salts, which can vary in mineral profile and can contain contaminants like microplastics, Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® retains its full spectrum of naturally occurring trace elements and minerals in a balanced crystalline form. The refinement of table salt alters its structure, making it harder for the body to process, while the minerals in Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® are present in ionic form and more easily utilized.

INGREDIENTS AND SOURCING

A Single, Protected Source in the Foothills of the Himalayan Mountains

Every grain of Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® comes from a single, protected deposit deep in the Himalayan foothills of Pakistan, known for its pristine environment and naturally balanced mineral profile. For over 20 years, Symphony Natural Health has partnered directly at this source to ensure purity, sustainability and respect for the land and the people who mine it.

Our Commitment to Ethical Sourcing

Verified Purity

+

Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® comes from the foothills of the Himalayas and was formed over the last 250 million years after the evaporation of an ancient ocean that once covered that area.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
As our Certificate of Analysis shows, our salt has 84 trace elements minerals, in the very ratios similar to in the human body and obviously no modern day pollutants that we find in our oceans today.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The structure and small particle size support absorption into our cells which promote hydration, versus normal table salt which dehydrates.⁠*
⁠⠀
Most importantly, Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® has research on its health benefits as published in the book Water & Salt the Essence of Life by Dr. Barbara Hendel and Peter Ferreria showing its impact on cellular communication, hydration, supporting acid-alkaline balance and normalized blood pressure.⁠*

Social Impact

+

Our partnership in Pakistan, where we source Original Himalayan Crystal Salt, has enabled us to not just have a financial impact on the local community, but also a significant social impact. We achieve this through supporting education through local schools as well as ensuring there is no child or slave labor used in our mines.

We believe we have a social responsibility, not just to the health of our customers, but to the health and well-being of our team and partners around the world.

We believe that every single person, whether you are working in a mine in the foothills of the Himalayas or in our warehouse in Utah, should be able to earn a living wage and most importantly have a safe work environment.

Environmental Impact

+

To ensure a safe working environment, and to lessen the potential environmental impact on our planet, we do not use explosives in any of our mining processes. ⁠

But, our commitment to having the smallest environmental impact possible extends far beyond our no explosives policy. To minimize the impact we have on local flora, fauna, streams and landscapes, we use only hand-mining techniques to extract our salts and, rather than carve wide roads into the valley and mountainside to cater for large trucks, we make the choice to use man-power and donkeys to transport our crystal stones from the mine to the sorting and packing facilities.⁠

Economic Impact

+

We believe in forming deep relationships that are life changing, not just with our customers, but also with our business partners around the world.

Having worked in developing countries for 22 years we realized early on that by paying 20-30% more through Fair Trade type programs for commodities like coffee, herbs or salt, the income of the local communities was significantly improved.

However, we learnt that we could make an even greater impact by establishing strong joint-venture partnerships with the local people to create value-added goods, small industry, and year-round employment, we could inject up to 10 times the amount of money into those communities and really change lives.

The Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® Logo

+

The depth of our relationship to the local community we partner with and our support through their schools is symbolized by our Original Himalayan Crystal Salt logo, which is the insignia of the Royal Education Foundation in the Hunza area where our mine is located The Royal Education Foundation graciously extends their blessing for us to use their insignia as a reflection of our connection to the Hunza people and the authentic origin of our unique salts.⁠

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® Inhaler?
We’re Here to Help

How do I use the Inhaler?

+

Simply inhale through the mouth and exhale through the nose for 15-20 minutes a day.

How does the Salt-Air Inhaler work?

+

Since exposure to air pollution and modern environmental stressors is difficult to avoid, it’s practical to explore ways to support respiratory comfort, just as we do with skin, hair and overall wellness. Air quality challenges are commonly discussed in relation to everyday respiratory irritation and discomfort, particularly in more industrialized environments.

The Salt-Air Inhaler is a convenient, drug-free, non-invasive device designed to let you experience salt-air therapy, similar to the atmosphere of a salt cave. As air is drawn through the inhaler, it passes over natural salt crystals, allowing microscopic salt particles to be inhaled. This process helps support a clean, comfortable and balanced breathing experience.*

Salt-air inhalation may be especially supportive during exposure to:*
• Seasonal environmental irritants such as pollen
• Dry or recycled air, including airline travel
• Smoke or airborne particles
• Everyday respiratory congestion or discomfort*

Do I need to add water to my Inhaler?

+

No. The inhaler is not a steamer. It is a dry, salt-air inhaler. Do not add water.

Are there any additives in the Salt-Air Inhaler?

+

No. The only ingredients to the Salt-Air Inhaler includes 100% Natural Coarse Granulated Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® in a ceramic salt device.

What quantity of salt crystals are typically used in the Inhaler?

+

There are 200 grams (7 ounces), just under ½ pound.

Is the Salt Inhaler itself 100% lead-free? Is the glaze/paint 100% lead-free?

+

Nothing that comes from the soil is completely lead-free. All foods grown in soil contain naturally occurring trace amounts of lead, and ceramic, being made in part from soil-derived materials, can also contain trace amounts.

Something to be aware of is that ceramic glazes were historically made with intentionally added lead, similar to how lead was once used in paint. We do not use those types of glazes, and we do not use lead-based decals.

Because ceramic materials originate from soil, we cannot claim the product is 100% lead-free. What is important is that no lead is intentionally added at any stage of our ceramic or glazing process.

How do I clean the Salt Inhaler?

+

It can be washed with boiling hot water, then allowed to dry fully. If you want to speed up drying, use a hair dryer to ensure the inside is completely dry before adding new salt.

There are cracks in the bottom of my Inhaler. Is this dangerous?

+

Sometimes small hairline cracks can occur during the firing process. However, our QA process ensures any ceramic particles are removed as we use blasts of air over 10 times what the human body is capable of. For this reason, nothing can be inhaled through the cracks you may notice..

Can I stop using my medical inhaler for asthma if I use the Salt-Air Inhaler?

+

The Salt-Air Inhaler is designed for general respiratory comfort and does not replace prescribed medical devices or medications. Always consult your healthcare professional before making changes to your care routine.
