Topic: Saltpipe

Anyone heard of or used a Saltpipe for breathing problems.

No but ever eager to learn,consulting Google tells us its a gadget enabling one to draw breath through a salty tube. Seems its about £20 from Holland &Barrett.Interesting tale describing how it helps restore ones brochials. But does it work ? What we need is a guinea pig, a volounteer that is, not a furry pet.

Have had a cough for months so yes interested as well. 

According to Doc there is nothing wrong with me.  Had every possible check but I am still coughing.  This looks worth a try, things were certainly better while I holidays by the sea,

Seems rather expensive though for a plastic pot filled with salt.

Have you tried amazon.

I'd never heard of them before reading your post and like ancellsfarmer did a google. Can't quite see why it would work, but a lot of positives recorded. Are you going to try it Cornykev, Digeroo?

Yes I have bought one, and it's a Ceramic pot with five years worth of salt in it
In fact I bought two
The Cisca saltpipe was £21.98, a Hungarian salt therapy inhaler with 5 years worth already in the pipe
The other was a Himalayan salt pipe inhaler £6.99
No postage When I bought them from Amazon
I've had a phlegmy cough for weeks and can't shake it
Also I'm hoping it can help some with my SNORING
I will report back in due course.
Yours faithfully Mr Ginny Pig

Corny,    This is going back a bit, but didn't Ace do something with saline solution for a nasal/sinus problem?  I only remember that a turkey baster was involved.      This isn't salt in solution but could it work along the same lines? 

Let's hope you (and your's) get relief soon.

This was the thread Corny,  I think my overactive imagination made up the turkey baster bit - he did actually use a syringe, but might be worth considering, if it isn't too gross a concept.
