Salt has been used for centuries, by many different cultures, to clear sinus cavities of bacteria and microbes along with clearing bronchial tubes of congestion for relief of common respiratory problems, a treatment now called Speleotherapy.
Individuals in these ancient cultures noticed relief of chronic respiratory symptoms while visiting salt caves and thus used them frequently as a remedy for common respiratory ailments. To this day, sufferers of asthma, allergies pneumonia, hay fever, bronchitis, sinusitis and cystic fibrosis visit modern Salt Caves around the world for this treatment, as it is known to help alleviate their symtoms.
Salt caves are constructed from several tons of Himalayan Salt blocks, the exact amount depending on the size of the cave, which are usually heated by lighting placed within the walls. The heating of the salt causes the air in the cave to be infused with a dry aerosol of tiny pharmaceutical grade salt particles. Salt Cave treatment is widely used in Eastern Europe and Russia and has been a well known natural therapy for nearly 200 years. In these parts of the world, people with chronic breathing disorders often spend two to three hours per day in salt cave grottos. In 1995, even the Russian government approved salt caves for medical use. Irelands' first salt cave opened near Dublin in 2009. Himalayan Salt Caves are also springing up all over the US, from The Salt Cave MPLS in Minnisota to artificial salt therapy caves in Boulder, Co.
Fortunately, for those who are unable to visit a salt cave, these same Himalayan Salt crystals have been fashioned into lamps and candle holders for use by individuals in their homes. More closely emulating the salt caves, the latest home decor trend, "Himalayan Salt Walls", are facade walls constructed against a wall or as a partition wall in a home or business with lights installed behind the wall or within the wall to heat the blocks and emit a soft light and allowing you to experience similar effects of visiting a salt therapy cave right in the comfort of your own home!

Himalayan Salt Respiratory Benefits
Clinical studies have now shown that breathing Himalayan Salt air can help to stimulate the respiratory system's natural ability to reduce inflammation, clear blockages, fight infection and reduce discomfort.
Saline solutions have been noted for ages for their ability to help with sinus conditions from runny noses to infections. Breathing salt air, whether it be the salty sea air experienced near coastal areas, obtained by entering a Therapeutic Salt Cave, or produced by Salt Air Inhalers or salt lamps, is reputed to benefit the respiratory system and aid in reducing symptoms of Allergies and Asthma.

Himalayan Bath Salts & Scrubs
Living near the Glenwood Springs area, I have visited the hot springs many times in my life. It's a wonderful experience that makes your body feel very pampered. A good soak in the mineral water always leaves your skin clean and rejuvenated with a soft, smooth feel. Any little cuts, scratches, acne or rashes you have when you enter the water dissapear within a day or two of soaking in the springs.
I have noticed similar effects after soaking in a Himalayan Salt Bath as well. Of course, a trip to the springs always entails soaking for several hours in the mineral water, where a bath only lasts 30 minutes or so, but the smoothing, softening effects on the skin are pretty much the same. Minor damages to the skin, acne and rashes are aided by the salt bath also and this effect may be enhanced if one soaked in the water longer, however, the salt bath can also be enjoyed more often than the hot springs. Salt baths are also more financially practical than a drive to the hot springs, plus the entry fee, and can be enjoyed in the comfort of ones own home. Also, not everyone has a natural hot springs within driving distance of their home (we know, we are lucky), so overall, the Salt Bath is just more practical.
My daughter also enjoys the Himalayan Salt in her bath. She has rather bad acne and uses the Himalayan Salt Scrub to help treat it, which seems to work for her better than ProActive or any of the other Acne treatments she has tried, and she has tried quite a few. After all of her experiments with expensive creams and scrubs, she has found the best relief to be an every other day Himalayan Salt and Herbal Peach Scrub, with a St. Ives Apricot Scrub followed by cleaning with Cetaphil on the days in between. This regemine is also not as costly as Acne Treatment Systems you can purchase, as the three items involved last quite awhile verses the need to purchase the Systems once per month. An 8oz. jar of Himalayan Salt Herbal Peach Scrub costs $39.99 and lasts for months (you don't use much per treatment), the Cetaphil can be found at Walmart for under $9 and lasts several months as well, and the St. Ives Apricot Scrub can be found there as well for under $4.
From a soothing bath to it's use in treating Acne, Himalayan Salt is definately worth a try! It may not have the same effects on Acne for everyone, but everyone will notice it's softening and smoothing effects on the skin.
