COPD – Salt Therapy

NORMAL

COPD

Salt cleanses the respiratory system and speeds up the elimination of toxins. Salt has the following properties:

​

• Antibacterial

• Anti-inflammatory

• Loosens excessive mucus and speeds up mucociliary transport

• Removes airborne pollen

• Reduces IgE level (immune system oversensitivity)

• ​

​

Salt particles penetrate deep into the lungs to treat damaged tissue. Sometimes symptoms subside for up to 12 months following salt therapy. Additionally, persons suffering from COPD who do a Salt Therapy course of treatment report:

​

• Reduction in the need for inhalers, steroids, and antibiotics

• Breathing is easier after just a few sessions

• Improved lung function

• Reduction in the number of hospital admissions

• Alleviates sneezing, coughing, and shortness of breath

• Clears mucus and sticky phlegm from the lungs

• Increase the resistance to respiratory tract diseases

• Strengthens the immune system
