Q & A

What are some of the respiratory conditions mentioned that can benefit from salt therapy?

Respiratory conditions such as pneumonia, bronchitis, sinus congestion, COPD, asthma, tonsillitis, and sore throat can benefit from salt therapy.

What is the historical significance of salt therapy?

Salt therapy has a long history, dating back to the 1700s or earlier, where it was recommended for its health benefits, including boosting the immune system. People were advised to visit coastal regions to breathe sea air or to work in salt mines, as those workers were observed to be healthier.

How does salt therapy help with mucus-related issues?

Salt therapy helps break up thick mucus, making it easier to expel. The anti-microbial properties of salt also help combat pathogens in the sinuses and lungs.

What is a simple and inexpensive method to use salt for respiratory issues?

A simple method is to dissolve a teaspoon of sea salt in a glass of warm water and drink it. Gargling with salt water or using a Neti Pot with saline solution are also inexpensive methods.

What is a Halo generator, and how does it work?

A Halo generator is a device that uses dry sodium chloride (pure salt) to create very small salt particles, which are dispersed into the air. These particles are absorbed by the body through the respiratory system and skin, providing anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial benefits.

Why should sea salt not be used with a Halo generator?

Sea salt should not be used with a Halo generator because it can contain impurities that may get stuck in the lungs, leading to potential respiratory issues.

Transcripts

so if you have any type of mucus okay

there's a really simple and expensive

solution whether it's pneumonia

bronchitis sinus congestion COPD asthma

or even if you have a tonsillitis or

sore throat you can apply this and it's

basically using salt there's been a long

history that goes way back to the 1700s

or even a lot earlier of using certain

types of salt therapy especially for

your immune system doctors back then

were recommending going to the Sea right

breathing in that Sea Air other people

recommended sea bathing and even they've

noticed people working in the salt mines

rarely got sick you know when everyone

else is getting sick they seem to be

pretty healthy so what's so special

about this salt in relationship to

pathogens well salt is very

anti-microbial it has antiviral

properties antibacterial anti-fungal

anti yeast anti-mold so whatever's

growing in your sinuses or your lungs

you can take advantage of salt and it's

really good to break up thick mucus

there's many different ways you can

apply this depending on how much you

want to spend I mean the cheapest thing

is to go to the coastal region where

there's Sea Air and just you know be in

that environment just breathe that Salt

Air another thing you can do is just

take a teaspoon of sea salt dissolve it

in a glass of warm water and drink that

that actually helps as well you can go

to a salt house which is a little more

expensive you can get a Neti Pot which

they normally use saline solution you

can get a nebulizer and you can gargle

with salt water right very effective for

mucus in your throat now something a

little more expensive is using this

halotherapy or a Halo generator now the

term Halo comes from the Greek word

which means salt okay so what's

interesting about this Halo generator

and I've done a video just introducing

people about it it uses a dry salt okay

it crushes just basically sodium

chloride it's not even sea salt because

apparently when when you use sea salt

with this machine it can give impurities

and kind of get stuck in your lungs so

you just want to use

pure like 99.99 pure sodium chloride it

crushes it up into very small particles

and then it has a way of shooting it

through the air through your room so as

you're sleeping at night you're

breathing in these very tiny salt

particles which have super absorbing

properties it can actually go right into

your skin it's very anti-inflammatory

anti-microbial and you will wake up

feeling like you can breathe a lot

better because it's going to thin the

mucus and help reduce

all that mucus that actually irritates

the Pathways in your respiratory system

now realize that most of these

respiratory infections are viral related

so you cannot

um use an antibiotic it's not going to

work so anything viral you definitely

just want to give it a course of time

three to seven days or even up to 10

days and nurture your immune system use

things without side effects I know a lot

of people with small children at the

first sign of a fever they're concerned

you know they want to get rid of that

fever but getting rid of the fever

increases the duration of the infection

so you want to let the immune system

take over and just nurture it help it

that fever is good it's actually cooking

these viruses so they can't survive and

you know the three common things I

always recommend is vitamin D vitamin C

and Zinc but it is normal for a child to

get sick it's part of the immune

training process it's not a bad thing

you don't want to keep your kids in a

sterile environment you want to let them

be exposed exposed to the environment so

their immune system can become very very

strong I know growing up I had a sore

throat several times a year pretty much

every year of my life growing up now I

rarely get sick because my immune system

is strong but anyway if you wanted a

simple solution to mucus in your sinuses

or your lungs salt is the best thing to

do for that and if you haven't seen my

video on the immune system in

relationship to what else to take I put

that video up right here check it out
