Salt caves...

[samie1999]

Hi all! I was looking into Salt Caves for my dad for Copd and emphysema,I know it is pricey so wondered if anyone used one before and was if effective? Thanks, Sam x

I've never used them but heard they're good.

Groupon or wowcher sometimes do cheap deals for salt caves. Hope this helps. X

I use a salt pipe and i find it good.

I use a hypertonic saline nebuliser once a day, I wonder if the salt caves have same effect? Lots of people sitting about coughing their lungs up, think I'd rather the home option but I'm open to be educated as to what the caves can actually do. 😄

Hi I have lung cancer and severe COPD I did look into going to sake caves as we have one fairly locally. When I went on website to book it did state not suitable for patients with lung disease. If I have time later I will find it and copy it over. Shame as I tried be in a hotel last year and whether it was in my mind I felt it helped me ie I wasn't coughing as much.

Just read the small print before you book or ask a respiratory nurse. X

I have moderate emphysema,and have used the salt cave quite a bit,especially in winter. When it's cold and damp

You need to blitz it a bit,I buy 30 sessions and then use it to go 3 times a week for around a month,I can then normally feel a difference,so I leave the other sessions until I need them again.

Thank you all for you replies, brinnie that's exactly what the gentleman said and there's good deals will have to look into it a bit more thanks😊 x

Please make sure that salt does make matters worse as it does with me. I recently had two tests over 5 weeks with saline solution for a nebuliser and surprised the nurses that it actually reduced my lung capacity my 25%. So check it out please. I have mild emphysema and severe COPD

There has been a question about this before & there was lots of information including some on salt lamps. I'm not sue how you find the LINC but I'm sue somebody will know. I think it was Meganell ( hope I've spelt that correctly) who share links & lots of info. best wishes Nan

Great, thanks again for all your replies. Was wondering, my dad uses the saline solution and its not really doing that much now, how would a salt cave be more beneficial, isn't it kinda the same thing?

I had 10 sessions last year I thought it sort of helped but an expensive way for the results. If I lived nearer to the place I would possibly give it another try

[samie1999]

Yes, an expensive way to get results I agree! Well he's booked in for Friday,he's starting with 10 sessions, will let you know how it goes! Thank you all for your wise info as usual! Take care, Sam xxx
