Hi have mild COPD .All my my life I've had bronchitis coughing up gunk I stopped smoking about 40 years ago.Iwas browsing the internet a week ago and came upon a Himalayan salt article,so I read it, it describes a salt inhalation device called a pipe wanting to try one straight away so I made one myself it's 3days now of using it an my coughing has almost stopped and my blood oxygen levels are up any one else tried this?

Wow, that sounds fantastic, I'm willing to try anything that will help my COPD, like you mine is mild too. But the coughing and the gunk is really annoying me. I will have a look on the internet and give it a try. Thanks jovik .

That’s sounds really promising I don’t have all the usual symptoms just the breathlessness would it help me and if it would where can I get one

I have used the salt inhaler off and on for a couple years. I think it does help. I purchased mine from Amazon.

Please let me know which inhaler this is please and what it's exactly called on Amazon? I have the same issue just breathlessness no cough or gunk would it help? Just slight wheezing on a morning it seems?

Hi I've just bought one off Amazon, it already has some salt in it, do we need to add more aa it's come with a bag of pink salt too? Can't really taste anything when inhaling? Is this right or should I add a little more in etc?
