Salt Rooms for COPD

I’m sorry I have never heard of that. I have high blood pressure, and am being treated for high potassium, and am on a salt free diet, so no additional salt needed near me.

I have severe COPD and lung cancer. When I had a bad reaction to radiation, I started using salt rooms. I can confidently say they helped significantly. Two sessions for 45 minutes each weekly helped my breathing.

I go to Destin, Fla. every winter for three months and the salty air seems to make it more difficult to breathe. I have COPD and asthma so don’t see how it would help me

What is a salt room

Salt Room is a franchise operation (there may be others) that have custom made rooms you sit in while they pump in air infused with salt. Consider it a room with and ocean but with a little more salt in the air. The info provided by them refers to the use of salt caves in Eastern Europe that we used for folks with allergies and asthma. Google Salt Room for more info.

I felt much less sputum after these treatments and could breathe clearly.

I don't think that there are any in Columbus Nebraska

I have never heard of a salt room. After several Doctors, I was not diagnosed with COPD…until 2012…Too late for me, caused by smoking, for 50 Years( I’m 79, as of 6/8!!) I have been on oxygen 24/7, since 2017. I have a wonderful Pulmonologist, and God, who “brought me back”basically from the end of my life. ICU, and in acting my DNR. I’m tough, and will never give up. I have been in a Nursing Home, since November, 2022. Hope I haven’t depressed you…since I started out, responding to the salt room! Take care

It is fairly common treatment to nebulize salt
water to help clear the lungs.

I am one of those "smokers" too for about 50 of my 71 years. For my participation in that habit I got bladder cancer. I haven't heard of salt rooms either. If it helps you then go for it. I am glad that your God and doctor were around to keep you going. I hope they are taking good care of you at the home. I am still at home but I don't know for how long. You haven't caused me any depression, in fact it's good to hear from a person with a never give up attitude. Hang in there and take care.

I am not interested in a salt room. I am end stage COPD, My Dr. Is doing everything for me. I am completely content with his care, he literally has brought me back from the end. I do all of my meds, and machines. When God calls me Home I am ready.
