There isn't a dosage required. You simply fill the pipe about half-way, with pink Himalayan salt. I use it while watching TV. Breathing in, the air passes through the salt, then exhale through your nose. I find it works really well to loosen mucus, making it easier to expel from my body. Very inexpensive, easy to use and portable.

The reason for my question about dosage is that 4ml of 7% sodium, nebbed once or twice a day, has kept my MAC infection from flaring up for almost 3 years, and kept me off antibiotics. Research has shown that 7% concentration is lethal to most mycobacteria.
I was wondering if there is a way to measure how much salt one gets from the pipe, because it might be easier than the neb. How much salt do you "consume" by inhaling in a typical week or month? Maybe I can calculate how it equates to the solution.
Thanks!
Sue
