Salt Cave Theraphy
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hello everybody
I have dreaded bronchiectasis, together with psudomonas A. I take twice daily dose of salt by inhalation (0.9%), plus antibiotics and combivent. Somebody recommended that a few visits to Salt Caves might be useful (they are springing up all over the place).
Has anybody tried these, or are they another fad?
Best wishes to everybody!

I don't know if they have Salt Caves in the UK but there is one I know of in Turkey and there are benches in it for people to sit for a time to breathe in the air. It is renowned for helping people with breathing problems. I am very interested in hearing more about this. They are certainly not a fad over in Turkey as the one I went in had been used for many, many years.

Hi there
I'm not sure if it is still used now, but if I remember rightly it was in Kusadasi (not sure if I've spelt that right.

I use Nebusol which is inhaled via a compression nebuliser. It is 0.9% salt solution twice daily, before combivent and before drainage. It is ml each time.

I'm Christine. I live in Glasgow and I've just been diagnosed with mild Bronchiectasis.
Last Monday evening I had to go to the local A & E as I was having difficulty with my breathing.
Long story short - After an X-ray and blood taken, I was admitted to the hospital and spent a week there getting treatment with antibiotics, oral steroids and some sessions on a nebulizer.
Due to the X-Ray results I was given a CT scan which showed the bronchiectasis in the lower lobes of both lungs.
I have an appointment to see my GP this Wednesday and an appointment with a respiratory consultant at the hospital at the begining of June.
I'm hoping this will all help soon as I'm registered as my husband's carer. (he's registered disabled. )
I've read about salt pipes and other methods of relief and was interested in people's experience with them.
