The Dry Salt Inhaler saltpipe contains 100% natural salt crystals from the famous Transylvanian Praid Salt Mine. Curative properties of the Praid salt are well known and appreciated globally through the activities of the therapeutic treatment centre located in the non-active parts of the Praid salt mine. When using the salt pipe, the moisture of the passing air absorbs the micron sized particles of the salt, then penetrates into your respiratory system exerting the beneficial effects of the salt on the respiratory tract tissues. The sodium content of the active ingredient induces natural self-cleansing mechanisms that flush away the impurities from the surface of the cells. Salt particles also mechanically clean the air passages. The Dry Salt Inhaler is simply a saltpipe - a device that enables easy inhaling of salty micro particles. The Dry Salt Inhaler saltpipe has been clinically tested and it is a Class 1 Medical Device. The Salt Inhaler confirms with international requirements ISO 15225:2001 and ISO 14971:2000. It is also FDA registered and can be sold in the USA and Canada. The Dry Salt Inhaler salt pipe features unique internal one way safety valve that prevents the saltpipe users from accidental exhaling into the salt chamber and thus moistening the salt. Presence of moisture in the salt chamber would have a detrimental effect on the quality of the salt and its therapeutic inhaling effect. In addition, the one way safety valve plays an important role in helping the users to exhale through the nose, thus ensuring cleansing of the nasal air passages. Salt Therapy Background Salt therapy or salt mine therapy is well known and documented in many countries of continental Europe. Salt mine therapy is a treatment that has been practiced in the old European salt mines and underground salt caves since the early 19th century. The famous Praid Salt Mine is based in Transylvania. The formation of the Transylvanian salt deposits can be traced to geological Lower and Middle Miocene Epoch. The Miocene Epoch is an era that extends from about 23.03 to 5.332 million years ago. The salty sediments of the Miocene Epoch are deposited as the condensed salt layers at the edges of the Transylvanian Basin. The salty treasure of Praid offers sufficient salt to last for hundreds of years. Salt mining
began in Praid in 1762. The mined salt was drawn to the surface by horses.
In the 1960's, the old unused parts of the Praid salt mine began to serve as the salt therapy centre with the speleotherapy and climatotherapy chambers. Salt therapy is long known to relieve the respiratory symptoms and treat respiratory illnesses. The origins of early use of salt therapy go back to the times of Hippocrates. Speleotherapy and climatotherapy are types of alternative treatments for asthma and allergies. Historically, these old traditional alternative treatments involved spending few hours per day in a microclimate of an underground cave or a salt mine. The unique microclimate of the salt caves or the salt mines has shown to help people suffering asthma, rhinitis, bronchitis and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Salt therapy - also referred to as halotherapy - stimulates natural microclimate conditions of an underground salt chamber, such as a salt cave or a salt mine. Halotherapy chamber is a chamber - a special room with walls and floors coated in salt. Nebulised dry salt aerosol is released into the halochamber during the therapy sessions. Salt therapy is today a recognised and well researched treatment modality for allergic chronic conditions of the respiratory tract, encompassing asthma, bronchitis, COPD and rhinitis.
Dry Salt Inhaler Saltpipe is a salt therapy device for home use. It has been designed to deliver the benefits offered by breathing the dry salty air just as in the natural salt mines or underground salt caves. Dry Salt Inhaler saltpipe utilises the simple curative principles of breathing salty air, but without the inconvenience and expense of trips to salt therapy centres, such as the Therapy Centre in the Praid Salt Mine. The patent pending Dry Salt Inhaler saltpipe is a handy 'pipe like' inhaler that offers you the benefits of salt mine therapy whenever you need it or wherever you are.
The Dry Salt Inhaler Saltpipe can be beneficial in the prevention and treatment of acute and chronic allergic or infectious respiratory conditions in people suffering the following problems:
*Halite is the mineral form of salt (sodium chloride, NaCl), commonly known as rock salt. Halite is found in ancient bedrock where large salt lakes and seas evaporated millions of years ago, leaving thick deposits of salt behind. The halite salt beds can be over 400 m thick and underlie substantial geographical areas in which at some point of time, the salt mines developed. Dry Salt Inhaler saltpipe contains 30g of natural halite salt crystals. Composition of the salt: sodium chloride (98.8%), magnesium(0.02%), calcium (0.3%) and traces of iodine, bromine and potassium.
Pharmacological properties: mucolytic,
mucokinetic and expectorant, bactericidal, anti-mycotic, anti-allergenic.
Suggested user age: Dry Salt Inhaler Saltpipe can be used by adults and children from the age of 3 onwards. The age restriction in children younger than age 3 is suggested only because of potential co-operational difficulties that could be experienced with such young children. Interactions with other medical treatments: No relevant clinical interactions have been observed. Dry Salt Inhaler Saltpipe can be used with other medicines. Side effects: Side effects are rare, mild and transient (i.e. mild short lived dry cough). No changes in the arterial tension have been observed during the use of the device as its effects are local and limited to the respiratory tract only. The effects of the device and the salt therapy are not systemic. Some people may experience transient mild dry cough at the start of the salt therapy. This is an indication that the cleansing of the respiratory tract has began. Contraindications: There are no contraindications. The Dry Salt Inhaler saltpipe can be use by anyone by people with the respiratory problems and by healthy individuals wishing to maintain the healthy status of their respiratory track. How does the Dry Salt Inhaler Saltpipe work:
The Dry Salt Inhaler saltpipe is filled up
with halite salt crystals between 2 porcelain filters. The air circulates
between the dry salt crystals and forms aerosol of salt micro particles in
different sizes.
Particles larger than 10 microns have beneficial cleansing and disinfecting effects on the upper respiratory tract. Particles between 5 - 10 microns penetrate into the trachea and central bronchial area. Particles between 2.5 - 5 microns penetrate deep into the lungs. Particles between 0.1 - 2.5 microns are similar in size to the most harmful atmospheric and industrial pollutants and penetrate into the bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli. At this level of the respiratory tract, the aerosol of the salt micro particles humidifies and dilutes the mucus secretions present in the respiratory tract, enhancing the movements of the cilia on the bronchi. This facilitates rapid elimination of the tar and mucus residues, whilst also protecting the respiratory tract from microbes and allergens. How to use the Dry Salt Inhaler Saltpipe:
- Inhale through the mouth. Avoid deep or forced breathing in. Breathe normally. - Exhale through the nose. Do not breathe out with force. Breathe out normally. Nasal exhaling is essential for the best effects of the salt therapy on the respiratory tract and especially the nasal passages. - Use for 15 - 20 minutes per day. You can use it in a single 20 minute daily session or divided into three 5 - 7 minutes sessions spread over a day. - Recommended average treatment duration is 21 days. For prevention of respiratory complains, the saltpipe can be used for 20 minutes daily for unlimited time without side effects. - Between uses, store it in a dry place. - For hygiene reasons, the Dry Salt Inhaler Saltpipe is for use by a single user only. You should never share your saltpipe with another person! With the 20 minute use per day the therapeutic salt in the Dry Salt Inhaler saltpipe will last up to 5 years. Use by date is indicated on the package. Dry Salt Inhaler Saltpipe is available without medical prescription. Using the Dry Salt Inhaler Saltpipe just a few minutes per day can have the following effects:
Both designs are identical in terms of internal structure, salt content and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions Q: How do I use the Dry Salt Inhaler Saltpipe? A: The Dry salt Inhaler Saltpipe is light and ergonomically shaped and can be comfortably held in one hand. Insert the pipe into your mouth and inhale through your mouth. You do not need to inhale more deeply than during normal breathing. Always exhale through the nose as this ensures that the complete respiratory tract is thoroughly cleansed. The safety valve in the saltpipe will prevent you from breathing out back into the pipe. You may experience increased expectoration after use of the pipe, which shows that the saltpipe and the salt therapy work and the cleansing of your respiratory tract has commenced. The pipe should be used for 15 - 20 minutes daily in total - as one long session or three shorter shorter ones spread throughout the day.
Q:
A: The Saltpipe cannot be refilled as it is a sealed unit. At the end of its life - approximately 5 years - you will need to replace it with a new one.
Q: How long will the Dry Salt Inhaler Saltpipe last? A: Up to 5 years, when using at the recommended duration of 20 minutes daily.
Q: Does the Dry Salt Saltpipe contain rock salt or normal table salt? A: Natural halite rock salt from the famous Transylvanian Praid Salt Mine.
Q: Why does the Dry Salt Inhaler saltpipe have an integral safety valve? What is its role? A: The safety valve is a unique feature of the Dry Salt Inhaler saltpipe. The safety valve performs 2 crucial functions. The first one is to prevent the user from exhaling the air back into the salt chamber. This function ensures long term quality and integrity of the salt that could otherwise be affected by the warm moisture of the exhaled air coming from the user's mouth and lungs. The second function of the safety valve is to help to train the user to exhale by the nose that is essential to the optimum effect of the salt therapy on the respiratory tract.
Q: Is it important to exhale through the nose? A: For the salt therapy to work, you must always exhale through the nose! The salt micro particles must always follow the normal pathway out of the respiratory system exiting via the nose.
Q: How soon will I notice the positive effects of the salt therapy? A: 1. If you are using the Dry Salt Inhaler saltpipe for general prevention of occasional respiratory problems, you will notice the outcomes over a period of time. Salt therapy activates body's own defence mechanisms and this will help to ward off seasonal microbial and/or allergen attacks. 2. When using salt therapy in chronic respiratory diseases, the positive results will become apparent in 7 to 14 days after the start of the treatment. 3. Bronchial asthma sufferers who use the salt therapy as recommended for 20 minutes daily, will experience easier breathing in 7 to 14 days after commencing the salt therapy.
Q: Can I still take my current medication? A: As the Dry Salt Inhaler Saltpipe contains only natural ingredients there are no side effects and the saltpipe can be used alongside any current medication. Please remember that the Dry Salt Inhaler Saltpipe is not intended to replace your current medication, diagnose or cure any conditions. Please consult a doctor if you are concerned about the use of Dry Salt Inhaler saltpipe in relation to your health condition or problems.
Q: Can I use The Dry Salt Inhaler Saltpipe during pregnancy? A: Yes, Dry Salt Inhaler contains only natural ingredients and has no side effects.
A: The Dry Salt Inhaler saltpipe can be used by a person of any age so long as they are able to inhale through the mouth and exhale through the nose. The manufacturer recommends that the device is not used on children younger than age of 3 - this is because there could be some difficulties in getting such young children to co-operate in correct breathing for the required time every day.
Q: Will the Dry Salt Inhaler saltpipe affect my blood pressure? A: No, the amount of sodium that enters the body is negligible and will not affect blood pressure. The saltpipe exerts only localised effects on the respiratory tract and has no systemic effects. Inhaled aerosolised salt micro particles are subsequently expelled through exhalation.
Q: How do I clean and store The Saltpipe? A: It is important not to store your Saltpipe in humid places, such as bathrooms. The Dry Salt Inhaler saltpipe should not be exposed to water or other liquids. Always store the Dry Salt Inhaler saltpipe in a dry place and clean with lightly dampened cloth.
Q: Is The Saltpipe a Registered Medical Device? A: Yes, it is a Class 1 Medical Device. Q: Has The Saltpipe been clinically tested? A: Yes
