So I found a salt room spa nearby. It's supposed to be for healing respiratory issues. You basically sit in a room and breathe in salty air, mimicking what it would be like in the Himalayas. I was wondering if this would be good for lyme since some people used a salt protocol. Not much info on this out there, any thoughts.

My guess would be that it wouldn't do much for Lyme. People on the salt/c protocol ingest the salt. But if you have lung problems with your lyme infection, it might help ease that some. Have you searched the forum to see if it has been brought up before? Let us know the outcome if you decided to give it a try.

It helps asthma. I have a Himalayan Salt inhaler.

It might help detox.

Say, how much does it cost though?

It's not too bad, maybe $40-50 a session I'm guessing. They say like 6 treatments or so at a time are recommended. I just saw an advertisement and was shocked that one was local.

I would do it, esp. if you have respiratory problems, but even so. It won't cure your lyme, but it might help with detox.

I've noticed benefits from swimming in the Caribbean, even though it's not Himalayan salt, obv.

Make sure it's bona fide.

I would like to know about bathing in Himalayan Salt (vs. Epsom), and using Himalayan salt lamps..

My sister did it with her kids for their asthma. Not sure how much it helped. They did many, many sessions. I went to one with her. It did nothing but then again, I was really not expecting much from only one session.

Lymebabe, You should have told your sister to use a Himalayan salt inhaler. Probably cheaper (who knows), and you can keep using it. You just have to buy the salt. It works well for my asthma; the only thing is, you have to use it (keep breathing it in) 30 minutes a day for it to really work. Hey, Dr. Oz recommends it.

For that matter, Louise74, you could use an H. salt inhaler yourself, buy Himalayan bath salts, use the culinary H. salts, and get a Mercola H. salt lamp, and then you would have at least part of the benefits of the salt cave year round.

J. has a salt lamp, and likes it, and he also uses the inhaler for his asthma.

Teragram I think that the main problem is I have the HLA and MTHFR genes and by their symptoms I think they do too. My sister AND her kids. Until she takes care of the mold in her house and everything else that goes along with it no cave in the world will work. JMHO. Then when that is all cleaned up, maybe. But until then, she can douse them in whatever she wants all day long and it is just not going to happen. Thus said, I am not sure what products she has available to her to clean up all the mold. Getting anything done over there is such a nightmare! So I am not judging her. Just a VERY difficult situation she is in. Healthcare is completely dismal too.. that poor girl!

I have the mutation as well as mold, and the H. Salt inhaler helps me with my asthma.

Hi again. I was just looking up some info. on Himalayan salt lamps and came across a FIR sauna that incorporates H. salt, so if the spa you found uses good quality Himalayan salt, then it might have more good benefits, so you might research that type of salt to learn more about it. Mercola.com has articles about it.

My extra sleepy head forgot that Margaret mentioned H. salt already. So now you have 2 people for it. :) I'll be interested in hearing about your experience with it.

I think it's about 30 ish per session, cheaper than I thought. So I may give it a roll. It won't cure the lyme but maybe dry out some germs? At least it will be relaxing
