2. Hype or fact, salt therapy does give benefits to those with COPD
issues. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is a generic term that
includes bronchitis, asthma, emphysema and bronchiectasis.
Genetic factors, smoking, pollution and age may play a role in
progression of the disease that starts with a characteristic shortness of
breath, tightness in the chest and coughing at times. The disease may
start with bronchitis and progress to emphysema. The patient suffers
due to inflammation and narrowing of bronchial tubes. Mucus builds
up and makes breathing difficult.
Treatment follows diagnosis. Treatment may take different paths such
as the use of bronchodilators to ease constricted airways and facilitate
breathing. Gluco-corticosteroids are commonly used to reduce
inflammation. Patients may receive vaccines and tetanus booster to
provide protection. Therapeutic measures include oxygen intake using
a mask or nasal prongs. In severe cases surgery may be resorted to,
with lung transplant an extreme option.

3. Patients are advised to go in for lifestyle changes. Since centuries
patients with respiratory illnesses were advised to spend time at
seashores or in salt caverns. Salt is an age-old remedy that is effective
and safe.
The number of therapeutic centers offering salt room therapy has
increased in recent times as the medical profession acknowledges the
benefits of salt therapy for those with respiratory conditions. The
conditions prevailing in salt caverns or at seashore can be recreated at
home using a salt air device that creates microscopic particles of salt.
Breathing in salt particles does have positive benefits such as:
• Mucus is expelled due to the mucolytic effect of salt
• Salt reduces inflammation in airway
• Acts as an anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal agent
• Salt helps to improve blood oxygenation
• Helps in expelling allergens and other foreign particles

4. Breathing in salt air reduces the dependence on nasal sprays and other
drugs. Improved blood oxygenation and ease of breathing helps
improve energy levels and wellbeing. It is easy to enjoy salt room
therapy at home.
All that someone needs for
halotherapy is a small, portable
ultrasonic device called Saltair –
Home Salt Therapy by
Halosense. Saltair disperses
microscopic particles of salt into
the air for long-term breathing
during the night sleep. The
patient breathes in salt in minute
quantities. Salt so breathed in has
a cumulative effect on the nasal
passage, throat and lungs.
It gently opens the airways, expels mucus
and reduces inflammation. Breathing
becomes easy. Used during night it will
promote a restful and peaceful sleep. It
can also be used during the day, while
relaxing or at work, in the proximity of
the user.
The Saltairsalinizer is affordable, silent
and cost effective in operation. Users
may notice they need less medication and
avoid the consequent side effects while
enjoying a healthier, more active lifestyle.
