Using salt to treat respiratory conditions?

- Ep. 7 - Using saline nebulizers and other forms of salinity to treat respiratory conditions. I discuss normal saline (0.9%), hypertonic saline, going into salt mines and if salt pipes serve any purpose. Some salt-based inhaled therapies have proven efficacy (saline nebulizers). Salt pipes don't seem to be worth it in my opinion. Also I would be wary of dubious health claims regarding unusual benefits of "Himalayan salt".

During the early to mid 1900's in UK people were sent to seaside locations as a treatment for "consumption" now commonly referred to as "tuberculosis". The prescription was to breathe in plenty of salty seaside air.
I have terrible sinus issues, and I have a little pot of salt water and garlic in a little pan on low temp. on my electric stove going all day in the kitchen, as I go by it throughout the day , I breath it, it has helped me so much, I breath well and am so glad to know oxygen is getting into my blood stream. I have been doing this for about a year, I so agree with you , salt is a healer as are so many spices.
I recently got a salt inhaler and it’s actually helping me.
I am stage 4 copd with emphysema. The Squip Salt Air Himalayan Pink Salt inhaler is Very useful for thinning the Mucus and making it easier to cough up and get out. If you had a breathing issue and tried it for yourself, I think you would change some of your views on how this little inhaler actually Benefits people. There isn't a cure for copd, but we can get some relief. Exercising on a regular basis is also a great benefit.
agree
Thank you. I’m buying one.
To add, wonderful, thank you for this information.
I just bought a salt inhaler, cost £10 (in UK) to try for nasal congestion due to hayfever etc. Sometimes I do a salt water wash but that can be a bit messy! I routinely use Sterimar Breathe Easy daily isotonic spray for nasal hygiene but sometimes need a bit extra help. I don’t really like using decongestant sprays from the pharmacy or GP but have used them in the past. I’m also going to a salt room next week as a treat, no caves where I live! Never been before so looking forward to that. I’m happy to try these things as natural alternatives to pharmaceuticals. Maybe they help or maybe not but happy to give them a go!
Wow just wow!! a salt mine session would be ideal~ here in the US people pay for ease, expedience and classiness etc and plenty will take advantage of that... still the US has an atmosphere of 'salt avoidance' unlike most sensible places on the earth who have historically used salt as the wonderful addition it can be! So for salt deprived folks who fear adding one crystal too much to their diet to sit and draw in salt infused air (as they might have done a cigarette) you can see a possible benefit or at least they can try it to rule it out! Spend some time helping folks see the scam of salt avoidance and you will have done a loving thing...
Can confirm from personal experience with being asthmatic with chronic bronchitis breathing in salt works!
did you use salt pipe?
You’re absolutely amazing. Thank u 💞
I appreciate your knowledge and view of this , however i tried a Himalayan salt pipe and it is working … I got one for a friend who has badly congested lungs and one for myself . My lungs are ok but i am into preventative medicine etc also i have a woodshop and breathe some dust . A day after using the pipe i can taste salt in my saliva and have coughed up mucus i didn’t know was there ! lol so maybe you should apply your fine and focused brain on testing a pipe …. Jim. in the uk 😊
drunk lemon in warm water and also olive oil, protect yourself from the dust
A saline soultion with hydrogen peroxide added is the best thing to use. Reseach it, you will find it helps with breathing, saturating your cells with oxygen and getting rid of all nasty psrasites
Oh wow. Parasites in the lungs or tge body in general?
KimJordan-yg2yo, how do you get peroxide with saline?
I prefer inhaling dry salty air - as with a salt inhalation pot. Easy-peasy, highly effective.
@@esilaalise4392 You have to buy food-grade hydrogen peroxide and combine it with saline solution which you can also make at home yourself with distilled water and sea salt. You then dilute the h2o2 to 0.1% with the saline solution to nebulize.
what is the proportion thanks
Get plastic bottle fill it with lage grian salt and poke small holes at the bottom and viola you got your salt bong. having this said breathing through an actual bong filled with salt saturated water beat any pile and could be on par with nebulisers
what about if I boil water with lots of salt and breath the vapor? I asked this question on bing and it says that the salt in hot or boiling water doesn't evaporate salt air.
What are your thoughts on Halotherapy? Great video thankyou
Just started Halotherapy. Himalayan salt room. Going back for another half hour treatment. Dry salt.
Sick people want to feel good not win a beauty contest.
I moved to more humid area bc of asthma. I breathe better in humid warm air. Plus I can only breathe thru my mouth.
Why does it it so long to get to the point?😊
Sorry, regular use of salt pots does provide a sufficient amount of salt to cause a beneficial outcomes. (Speaking from my own personal experience and a small but significant number of friends.)
Thanks for your amazing peer reviewed study
what do you mean by salt pots, thanks
@@adelchidipalma9857 They are also known as “Himalayan salt inhalers.” Google that phrase? You breathe in dry air that has swirled around dry salt crystals. The infinitesimal amount of salt in the air you breathe in (similar to visiting the seaside) truly helps prevent ment respiratory problems.
@@7H3541N7 To the best of my knowledge, sadly, no large-scale, controlled, peer-reviewed studies of inhaling salty air exist. Purely because there is no profit to be made from salt as it cannot be patented.
Human beings have been travelling to salt caves in eastern Europe for millennial. And visits to the seaside are widely regarded as beneficial to healthy.
I wouldn’t be telling people if salt inhalation were not virtually life-saving for me.
