Has anyone with COPD regularly used a Salt pipe? I purchased one and have used axfew times but not noted any improvement. Just wondering if its worth persisting with. Thanks

As everyone is different. What works for one dosnt work for others. I have not tried salt pipe yet. But I would give it a bit longer before you deside not to use it. I have a friend who goes to a salt cave and she finds that helps a lot.

I think the fine salt particles get through and irritate the throat. Let me know how you get on

I found sitting regularly for 15 mins puffing the salt pipe was not worth the result, although I have a friend who swears by hers. I'd say persevere for a while but there's no guarantee it will work for you.

Thanks. This is what I found. A lot of effort for no real difference.
