Does anyone visit a Salt Cave to help with airway clearance?

I found a salt air generator online, may have been Amazon. You mix salt and water and it vaporizes the mixture as you sleep. It doesn’t dry you out because of the water vapor. I’m no expert but I think it is similar to nebulizing saline. While it was helpful, it isn’t as good as visiting the Salt Room.

Thank you. I checked them online. A few are in $100s and most are around $1000. Quite an expense. What type do you use?

I would be cautious about these - you may eventually end up with salt residue all over your room, and there is little evidence that they are effective because the particles are not the same as being surrounded by dry salt particles. Finally, be sure to keep the reservoir sanitized.
