Salt Pipes

I am thinking of buying a salt pipe to help with mucous build-up, asthma & persistant cough.

Has anyone on here got one and how effective do you find it? Which one do you have (Saltair, Sims, etc)?

I am not asking for medical advice as I already use inhalers, etc.

Thanks in advance :).

    Hi

    No experience of using these I'm afraid but my neighbour swears by hers. Both my son & I have asthma and I am interested in them but am also looking for more recommendations

    Well, I have bitten the bullet and ordered a Cisco saltpipe. It should be here in the next day or so.

    ATM I am full up with cold but I intend to start using it straight away to see if it helps with the usual "post cold" chesty cough.

    Will report back later :cool:.

    Most reviews seem to suggest only very minor benefits and below those achieved using a nebulizer with saline solution
