I have recently starting using a salt pipe, five weeks now, for 15 minutes per day. It's early days but I do think it has eased the tightness in my chest and I seem to be sleeping better with less coughing. However, I do still cough up a lot of phlegm some days but it does seem easier to cough up.
I don't want to say it works wonders, yet, but at the moment I think it has eased my symptoms.

Been using salt pipe for a week, and it does seem to dry things up a little. I am hoping with regular use it will help. I have noticed I get a dry throat after use but happy to put up with this if it helps my lungs. I think its worth trying new things. I have started taking manuka honey 10 plus from New Zealand as I have used this in the past to help with sinus infections, and it did help, . . . its supposed to be antibacterial? Also a nutritionlist suggested tumeric tablets as they are anti-inflammatory? Perhaps I will have a chat to my physiotherapist when I get an appointment as am assuming they will be able to advise me what is worth trying! Good luck with the salt pot if you give it a go, hope it helps you. All the best.
