Using the saltpipe regularly for 15-20 minutes daily, you may help you to - Breathe easier - Alleviate sneezing, coughing, and shortness of breath - Feel revitalized - Improve general well-being. The salt therapy is a natural method of therapy. It does not involve any risk, does not produce any side effects and is finally adapted to the living space. However, this is NOT a substitute for medical treatment and should only be used as an adjuvant helping to improve the quality of people? life. It may help to reduce the antibiotics and corticoids and steroids intake. How does it work Mechanism of Salt in Salt Therapy According to the study of Halotherapy (Salt therapy), the mechanism of salt toward the natural cures can be described in Scintiapress. Inhaling salt in to respiratory system, salt particles dehydrates microbial cells and impairs their albuminous structure. Small particles of salt adhere to microbial bodies, under go hygroscopic growth, and precipitate. Via these and perhaps other mechanisms, HT kills pathogenic microorganisms throughout the respiratory tract (Chervinskaya and Zilber, 1995). American researchers had found that H.influenzae and S. Pneumoniae?two of the main pathogens present in the respiratory tracts of chronic bronchitis patients?are very sensitive to hypertonic salt (Rein and Mandell, 1973). The Particle Parameter in Halotherapy The research on Halotherapy founds that inhaling microparticles of salt crystal larger than 10 microns in diameter are caught in the upper airways and transported up and out of the respiratory tract by the mucociliary system. In the range of 5-10 microns, they penetrate into the trachea and central bronchial area, but not farther. Only below 5 micron do the microparticles penetrate deep into the lungs, though the larger microparticels have useful effects in the upper respiratory tract. In the range of 0.1-2.5 microns?the same size as the most damaging microparticles from auto and industrial pollution, and invisible human eye?the microparticles of salt penetrate into every corner of the bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli and deposit upon the surface.
