I have been reading of the benefits of Salt Therapy using a CPAP machine. Essentially, a little salt is added to the water reservoir and breath in the mineralised air at night. Its supposed to reduce inflammation within the lungs.
Has anyone tried this?
Hi. I know this doesn't answer your question as I don't use a CPAP but today I'm off to the salt rooms which specifically stated that it's good for respiratory issues and skin 🌹
That very interesting. Thankyou.
Your welcome 🌹
aw this sounds like a good idea! I might try in mine!
I inhale saline twice a day (doctor prescribed) .... which is used to make mucus thin and draw out moisture "from all the corners of your airways" ... I was warned though that it can make respiratory issues worse
Which is why they made me do the first in hospital and do spirometry before and after to make sure my fev1 didn't drop
U should ask yr dr b4 attempting this
saline solution in a nebuliser is a standard treatment for many lung conditions I use one which was recommended by a physio and supported by my GP and respiratory nurse.
I nebulise saline which is prescribed, but I think you should check with your GP/consultant or the manufacturer of the CPAP machine as salt could affect how the machine works if it's not designed to have salt added to it, it could clog the machine up and not work properly which would be worse for you in the long run. x
I’d be concerned it would damage your CPAP machine. Salt is a mineral and one of the reasons we are asked to use distilled water in our CPAP machines is that the minerals that can gunk up medical devices have been removed.
Thats a good point. From what I understand water is evaporated and the vapor helps your breathing. I would have thought the salt would have stayed in the reservoir with only microscopic amounts being breathed in. But its worth checking out. Thanks.
