Description from the web:

Salin Plus is an international award-winning medical device that removes airborne pollutants, such as dust and pollen, like traditional air purifiers.

Additionally, it releases tiny therapeutic salt ions, for inhalation, providing a very convenient way for users to benefit from salt therapy while they sleep.

Salin Plus Salt Therapy is a great alternative to using other home devices such as humidifiers, salt lamps, salt pipes, air purifiers, mouth guards or saline sprays.

  Friend,

  it releases tiny therapeutic salt ions, for inhalation

  if its actually releasing salt in "ion form" then its releasing chlorine gas.

  Salt therapy (a.k.a. halotherapy) is the inhalation of very fine salt particles.

  Salt is used for two reasons: it is negatively charged, like oxygen, and therefore has the ability to fight anaerobic respiratory infections – and – through osmosis, draws mucus away from the airways, allowing easier breathing.

  I seriously question anyone who believes this, you can't just throw a bunch of sciency words together and call it a day. Again, the negatively charged part of salt is chlorine.

  The only slightly related use of salt therapy is diagnosing asthma, and thats because it induces bronchoconstriction.

  New age junk.
  No medically proven benefits from negative ions.
  Air filters can benefit some people, but the 10 micron filters this product uses is less effective than the common 3 micron HEPA filters.
  -note this one needs to be replaced every 4-6 months.

    They hardly make you feel positive…

    Thanks for posting this link. Worth watching to the end where he tests an air filter that creates so much ozone it would be considered smog alert level (11:30 in).

  "There isn't the scientific evidence to support the benefits of salt therapy in the form of a salt cave or a salt room or the inhalation of salt,"
  https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-04-18/salt-therapy-warnings…

  https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/halotherapy-the-latest-spa-…

  From this review, recommendations for inclusion of halotherapy as a therapy for COPD cannot be made at this point and there is a need for high quality studies to determine the effectiveness of this therapy.

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3937102/

  No evidence to support any of the claims made by this device.
  This is not a medical device, doctors will not recommend it to patients as it is not evidence based.

  The smell of fresh BS probably does you more benefit than this pseduoscience garbage.

    Personally I prefer pseudoephedrine over pseudoscience but I have one of these and it works (for me at least). Very few sinus problems now. YMMV

  If i put this in my veggie patch would it get right off the slugs with the salt ions?

    Not as effective as a salt gun.

  So many red flags in the description. Definitely avoid this.

      Imagine a cheap 100mm computer fan blowing salt rocks and that's what you get for your money.

  The reviews seem resoundingly full of positive testimonials. While going in a salt cave I met a GP who frequents it and has known of many people who had significant health complications and improved while using it.

  For people suffering with sinus, breathing etc, many complain even all the conventional orthodox treatments they have tried do not give them relief or be without significant side effects, eg steroids with their diminishing efficacy and dependency.

  For those critically analysing this, how efficacious are the evidence based treatments, and why do big pharmacy have a vested interest in creating evidence supporting it's use while you overlook it's side effects.

  It appears this device attempts to emulate the creation of fresh air, as happens in nature with fine particles if salt.
  Who would argue fresh air wouldn't be good for those with symptoms, or moreover, should we expect seven year double blind placebo controlled study to accept fresh air as an evidence based therapeutic?

  Putting aside the questionable claims of health benefits, this is just clearly terrible value.
  $144 for a $10 computer fan blowing some salt in a cheap plastic housing.
  They're not even using the printer pricing model of cheap printer cost with expensive refills - they're expensive upfront and expensive to refill.

    i remember looking at getting one of these a long time ago based on the glowing reviews, but then dived into youtube and saw it was a crappy computer fan blowing salt rocks. ridiculously priced for what it is.
