How the Saltpipe treats or
alleviates respiratory ailments
Mechanism of Salt Therapy (Halotherapy)
The most convenient and economical mode of practicing salt therapy is through the use of hand-held salt inhalers. Salt pipes enhance the curative effects of salt therapy practiced for over 2000 years in salt caves/mines.
The Dry Salt Inhaler/Pocket Saltpipe contains halite salt crystals, formed 20-22 million years ago in the Middle Miocene, from the famous Transylvanian Praid Salt Mine where medical statistics support the claim that salt therapy improves the health condition of patients suffering from respiratory diseases up to 90% efficiency.
When using the inhaler, the salt crystals placed in the device are absorbed by the humid air and the tiny particles – in the range of 0.1-2.5 microns
- penetrate into every corner of the respiratory tract, the bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli and deposit upon the surface of the cells. The salt micro particles kill microbes and bacteria, flushing out secretions.
- Natural salt particles have a considerable level of negative charge. The therapeutic effect of
negative ions is: anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, regulating the mineral metabolism of the body
and cleaning the respiratory tract. (http://mypage.direct.ca/g/gcramer/asthma.html)
- The inhaled salt particles, due to their hydrophilic nature, absorb the sticky mucus blocking the air pipes. They unclog blockages, restore the normal transport of mucus and widen the airway passages. With their non-steroid, anti-inflammatory properties they offer a natural way of treating asthma.
The salt micro particles humidify and liquidize the bronchial secretions in the bronchial tree, which leads to a relief of the bronchospasm.
- They clear out the nasal cavities from excessive mucus, widen the airway passage in the nose and the tubes of the sinuses which improves the drainage of the sinuses. The salt particles reduce irritation causing coughing and sneezing.
- The inhaled salt micro particles offer a natural treatment when the alveoli* at the end of the bronchioles become clogged up with mucus and bacteria and the alveoli are not able to pick up enough oxygen, as in the cases of emphysema, fibrosis, etc. Due to the clogging up of the alveoli with mucus, breathing becomes more and more difficult and fluid accumulation in the lungs may cause respiratory failure.
The micro particles of salt clean viscous secretions, flush away impurities and by killing bacteria and microbes, they help to restore the normal transport of mucus. The salt crystals help to calm, heal and repair inflamed lungs. In the alveoli oxygen is fortified with the negative ions of the salt particles. With the oxigen then absorbed by the bloodstream they deliver the cleansing and purifying effect to every organ of the body.
- Salt therapy (HT) “kills pathogenic micro organisms throughout the respiratory tract (Chervinskaya and Zilber, 1995)…In turn, the body's normal microflora repopulate the area and the removal of pathogens leads to a reduction in inflammation from the immune response. The numbers of immune cells are normalized, while both numbers and activation of alveolar macrophages* increase. The normalization in immune response explains much of HT's action in treating asthma.” (K. J. Dillon, Close-to- Nature Medicine)
*A vital
function of respiratory process takes place in the clusters of thin-walled microscopic air sacs called alveoli where carbon dioxide from the body cells and fresh oxygen from the air are exchanged. (Amazingly there are some 300 million air sacs in the lungs, the surface area of a tennis court.) Alveolar macrophages are white blood cells and they are key players in the immune system to eliminate foreign invaders such as infectious micro organisms. Macrophages help destroy bacteria and tumour cells and play a vital role in the defence of the lungs. By virtually swallowing dust particles and other invaders they keep the air sacs clean.
