Is there any validity to a claim that Dry Salt Therapy (halotherapy) relieves COPD symptoms?
Someone is telling me that dry salt therapy "...reaches the lower respiratory system and works as a bronchial toothbrush for the airways?" While I am skeptical of such claims, especially when not accompanied by scientific research, I still would like to pursue additional comments and/or information.
Hi John2746, and thanks so much for your post in the Q & A section. We do have material published on this very topic here on our COPD.net website. I thought you might gain some additional insight from this article on that very topic: https://copd.net/answers/himalayan-salt-lamps/.
In addition, one of our team members wrote an article focusing on her experiences in a salt cave. It was published on our sister site, asthma.net. For your convenience, here is the link to that article: https://asthma.net/living/visiting-a-salt-cave-to-improve-my-asthma/.
I do hope you find both article to be helpful for your concerns.
Wishing you well,

Hi again, John2746, and thanks for the post.
Next time you post a new reply, if you look down below (this text box), you may see a little 'check box'. If it's checked you will see replies to your post.
I don't always see it, and I'm not quite sure when it appears and when it does not. Should you have more concerns about it, you may want to reach us at contact.net, and we will do everything we can do to assist you.
All the best,

Hi John2746- have you been able to try Dry Salt Therapy? Have you noticed any difference? ~Melanie (COPD.net team member)
