They have found that it can help their customers manage their symptoms. The conditions that natural salt therapy can help include Asthma, COPD, Bronchitis, Cystic Fibrosis, Sinusitis, Rhinitis (Hay Fever), Allergies, Snoring and Sleep Apnoea.
What is the Salin® Plus Air Purifier?
It is a small device about the size of a kettle that you plug in each night and leave on while you sleep. The following morning you wake up feeling refreshed after having a great night’s sleep.
How Salt Therapy works
Salt therapy has been used since the mid 1800’s when a Polish physician observed that miners working in salt caves didn't get the lung diseases common in other miners. The benefits of Salt Therapy can be attributed to its anti-inflammatory effects. Salin® Plus Air Purifier uses Microcrystalline salts that are fanned through the air to relieve breathing difficulties. Once inhaled, the microparticles of salt penetrate deep into the lungs which can help unblock and remove any build-up of mucus and foreign allergens.
Works while you sleep
This alternative treatment uses dry sodium chloride to help relieve respiratory problems, there are no masks or tubes involved. Just plug in the small Salin® Plus Air Purifier and leave it on while you sleep.
Replace the Salin® Plus Air Purifier Filter regularly
For best results it is recommend that you should change the filter of the Salin® Plus Air Purifier every 4-6 months or it will not work as intended, that is to clear the airways and release phlegm, resulting in the patient being able to breathe more easily and having a great night’s sleep. Keep a note of the date you change the filter.
