- golem14 9mo agoI wonder how steam baths, saunas etc compare.
- LarsAlereon 9mo agoThose would be more similar to hot steam humidifiers, which tend to leave any minerals or impurities behind as deposits inside the machine. That said, I'm not buying the original premise here that water-soluble minerals are in inhalation hazard. Our lungs have robust systems for cleaning out stuff we inhale, it's the exceptions where this doesn't work that get a lot of attention.
