Upon the advice of JimBob and Carol, I purchased a salt pipe, which is really a salt inhaler .
The salt grains are halite crystals from European salt caves , discovered because the salt mine workers did not get T.B. or the lung diseases that were prevalent many years ago .
I have had a battle with chest & sinus congestion and ear problems ( probably due to mycoplasma PN ) , but this truly is working !
JimBob said it helped him give up his inhaler ( asthma) and others here said it helped them .
I am no longer having chest soreness that feels like pleurisy .
I also think it is really worth trying for costochondritis , as I had it and now it is gone.
If you want more info : Google: "saltpipeco.uk"
It is a cisca salt pipe .
I am thankful for the folks here who take the time to share info about things that help them .

Ann, that's great!
My mom refused this, even though she had pneumonia last summer, which the antibiotic that her doc prescribed did not help. She's still having problems with a cough.
I'm thinking of ordering one, paying for it, and having it sent to her. (Heh, she'll kill me.)

I don't know if it would be an allergy fixer , but I do believe it will help prevent the secondary infections that allergies bring - definitely . It thins mucous and seems to help my ears and sinuses not feel so plugged up .
It is great for bronchitis .
As far as allergies , I have had good success with Beconase during allergy season, but I was still struggling with constantly feeling I was fighting bronchial infection and having thick mucous . This has been a real blessing for me because I was living on mucinex 24/7 . I have not taken any mucinex in over a week , which is a miracle for me.

Annxyz,
Thanks for bringing this up and reminding me about my saltpipe. I purchased one and keep it in the drawer by my bed where I completely forget about it.
My allergies have been under control for years but I do have a morning cough that happens about 1 to 2 hrs after I wake up and lasts about 15 mins. During this time I cough up disgusting amounts of phlem. The only time I was free of this was several years ago in Midrid, Spain. This was before my latest onset of lyme. I never understood what was different about Spain.
I'm going to get that pipe out tonight and inhale, inhale, inhale.
