I tried Himalayan Salt room in my local area I found it relaxed me more than improved my breathing. I did try acupuncture but it only helped once? I have multi conditions which complicates things for me.

I would add that be careful of some machines that make fantastic claims and charge through the nose for them.

Be well

I take a teaspoon of rose hip syrup every day, to help ward off infections. A study was done that showed drinking rose hip tea can help prevent colds, but as I didn't like the taste of the tea I went back to that old childhood favourite instead. It hasn't stopped me catching colds completely, but I do think it has helped, and it's a pleasant treat at breakfast time.

I vaporise marijuana at a low temperature and it relaxes me and makes my breathing easier
