Abstract: Apparatus for micronizing an inorganic salt, having a receiving vessel for receiving the salt to be micronized in an interior of the receiving vessel; a grinding unit for comminuting the salt located in the receiving vessel and for forming micronized salt particles; an ascending pipe, which is connected fluidically to the receiving vessel and transports the micronized salt particles, wherein one end of the ascending pipe has an outlet orifice through which the micronized salt particles can flow out of the apparatus; a fan; and a housing with an air outlet and an air duct connecting the fan to the air outlet, wherein the air duct is separated by at least one wall from the interior of the receiving vessel, such that the air stream generated by the fan does not flow through the interior of the receiving vessel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cabin for steam-bathing individuals, into which fresh air is admitted and waste air is discharged during the operation, and steam is thereby admitted at least temporarily and foam is admitted simultaneously or alternately, so that the individuals located in said cabin are bathed simultaneously in steam and in foam. The simultaneous bathing of individuals in steam and in foam provides physical relaxation and cleanses the skin. A method for operating the cabin is also claimed. The foam is thereby admitted into the lower part of the cabin, and the steam is admitted into the upper part of the cabin. In a preferred embodiment of the method, the foam is admitted into the cabin at such a level that the individuals sitting on the seating area of the cabin sit in a carpet of foam.
