There are health resorts here in Poland where the whole reason is for them to exist in these particular places is because air there has a lot of iodine and other minerals from sea salt. I've been to one in Kołobrzeg as a child because of my asthma.
There are also inland health resorts where they build huge salt evaporation walls so that people don't have to drive all the way to the sea to breath sea air- for example in Ciechocinek. And it's not modern technology - they have been built in early 19th century already.

- jongjong 3y agoSounds similar to many parts of eastern Europe and Russia. People go to health retreats to drink water from specific natural springs that are high in minerals.
- ajuc 3y agoYeah we have that too, but this is about evaporating it to make the air healthy to breathe. Different benefits compared to drinking.
