Halite Crystals Give COPD Sufferers Natural Relief
For sufferers of COPD [chronic obstructive pulmonary disease], the usual medicines, oxygen treatments, or even a lung transplant may not be enough. However, many sufferers have found real benefits from salt cave therapy. The Cisca Saltpipe provides a portable way to deliver salt therapy without ever having to travel to a salt cave…
The salt used in the Cisca Saltpipe is not standard table salt that you’d use on your chips. It contains very high quality Halite salt crystals formed around 20 million years ago in Hungarian and Transylvanian salt caves.
So why does salt help? It cleanses the respiratory system and speeds up the elimination of toxins. Salt is a natural anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, it speeds up mucociliary transport, loosens excessive mucus and removes airborne pathogens. It also reduces the IgE level (immune system oversensitivity).
When inhaled, tiny particles of salt seep deep into the lungs and the effects can be so profound that sometimes COPD symptoms can subside for up to 12 months after using it.
A study of 35 COPD patients using a dry salt inhaler revealed significant improvement in the six-minute walk test and demonstrated an improvement in quality of life, as reported on the Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire [1].
J. Jones comments, “I am on my second salt pipe, 8+ years now. Recommended by my doctor and I wouldn’t be without it, I … have hardly any chest infections or coughs although I have severe COPD. I have recommended it to all the people who go to lung rehab and all my friends with COPD have bought one and find it helps them very much.”

The Cisca Saltpipe®
The salt pipe is easy to use; simply place the ceramic pipe in your mouth and inhale as normal, exhaling through your nose. Air is drawn through the filters fitted with crystal salt and is purified as it's drawn over the natural salt crystals. This gives the user a sensation that is a lot like taking a deep breath of fresh sea air or visiting salt caves.The moisture of the air absorbs the microscopic particles of salt, allowing it to penetrate the entire respiratory tract. The salt pipe works by drawing excess fluid from the sinuses and cell lining, cleansing the nasal passages and opening the airways to relieve the main cause of congestion and irritation. The salt has a thinning effect on mucus, helping you to clear it naturally and breathe more easily.
