Salitair, the Original Salt Inhaler | Classified Medical Device for Respiratory System Disorders | Ideal Natural Remedy for Breathing Problems and Allergic Conditions | Refillable Device

My order has just arrived. One decription mentioned it had a ceramic base and plastic mouthpiece so was looking forward to a modern streamlined version of the old classic salt pipe model. I was therefore disappointed to find it is made wholly of plastic because I wish to be eco-conscious and not have to dispose of plastic eventually in the environment. However it is useful in that it is light in weight for carrying around in a bag but also quite expensive for what it is and doesn't even come with a starter pack of salt. It is useful in that it can be refilled, since my older ceramic salt pipe cannot be refilled and thus has to be disposed of but this has been considered with the new refillable models. It can also be cleaned and seen inside. Later ceramic models are refillable but quite heavy and the fill holes are very small. Although I need to wait for the salt to arrive, from a different supplier, I can vouch that the salt pipe method is helpful for respiratory conditions and have used one for several years and Salitair is to replace my old salt pipe. If you require a lighter portable option this should work for you. Three days later the salt has arrived. I have now used the Salitair salt pipe. The pipe is easy to fill. it is easy to use, I feel the breathing the salt there is a good breath of saltiness, slight plastic taste which may only be initial due to it being new. It is definately light and portable and easier to hold for a period of time when in use compared to a ceramic salt pipe. The difference is that the ceramic salt pipe keeps the salt cold and feels like fresh air from a salt cave, the Salitair is more tepid, room temperature. The Salitair needs to stand on a small dish or lipped coaster since salt leaks from the bottom onto a table top. (A good idea if it could be supplied with a dish and salt spoon?) The classic pipe you cannot see inside if it is not refillable. I am only making comparisons as to benefits of the newer modern salt pipe and classic ceramic salt pipe and my experience with them. Here I share some photos so you can see the difference, the inside filter of the Salitair, and my old ceramic pipe which has cracks appeared all over the glaze, so I wonder what can happen inside of it and whether its a safe glaze?

I had an upper respiratory infection with discoloured sputum which normally requires antibiotics to shift. However after 3 days of using salitair it cleared up!!

This is a salt pot. You take the lid off, fill with preferably Himalayan salt to about a cm or 2 from the top and breath in the mouthpiece and out through the nose. I found the filter at the top to be useless, why? because the whole point is to draw up air through the salt and into the lungs, if done properly (breathe in through mouth and out through nose) the top filter hinders maximum benefit and is not needed. This can be just as well achieved through a home made salt pot of, for example, a plastic old vitamin pot with tiny holes drilled at the bottom filled with salt and breathe in. The same principle, the air gets draw up from the bottom and you get the benefit of it filtering through the salt as you inhale or sniff it in. I can't see anatomically how the air can filter too effectively through the salt giving maximum benefit with this product here because 1) it has an added filter at the top, and 2) the pot is so tall it would take a lot of inhaling to draw the air up from the filter at the base, (perhaps that is the point to exercise the lungs). I bought this for dad, I use salt topped off with iodine drops as per Dr Myhill's protocol (brilliant) to kill pathogens before they reach the lungs. I have removed the top filter on this product as it seems to have no clear useful function other than you need to breath in deeper to get what you need. Perhaps it's the breathing exercises that benefit more than the pot. I use a home made salt pot, both devices seem to work.

This product basically works, at least for me. So it is beneficial to inhale the salt "dust" that comes from the crystals. The crystals themselves are not inhaled because they are too large to pass through the array of tiny holes that constitute the filter. But when all the salt "dust" is used-up the system stops working.But is it really necessary to buy the exotic crystals? It's all sodium chlorate, wherever it comes from. Perhaps ordinary table salt could be mixed with the exotic crystals. This might provide a way of regulating the amount of salt entering the lungs. An excessive amount might be detrimental.

Absolutely essential during this pandemic period. Everyone should have one of these whether or not you have health issues or not. By inhaling the salt this prevents any virus from multiplying for a couple of hours. Everyone should do this before they leave the house and go into public area to reduce the risk of passing on a potential virus. These have been clinically proven in recent tests to help people with chest infections and pneumonia to recover quicker but also to stop them in the first place with regular use. I recommend this should be incorporated into your daily health routine like brushing your teeth every morning and every evening before you go to bed and if you can, a third third time during the day. 3 to 5 deep inhalation breaths is quite sufficient to fend off infections. If you do have an infection then you would want to use more frequently and more inhalations to stop the virus from attaching itself to you receptor sites in your lungs and throat and prevent the replication process as viruses cannot survive in a salt environment. I also use in collaboration with and Olbas inhalation stick and first defence nasal spray.
