Frequently Asked Questions





 

Q: How do I use The Saltpipe?

A: The Saltpipe can be comfortably held in the hand. Insert the pipe into your mouth and inhale through your mouth.  You do not need to inhale more deeply than during normal breathing.  You should then exhale through the nose as this ensures that the complete respiratory tract is thoroughly cleansed and prevents any moisture from your breathe going back into the pipe.  You may experience increased expectoration after use of the pipe which shows the effectiveness of the pipe as it cleans the respiratory tract.  The pipe should be used continuously for 15 minutes daily.

 

Q: Is The Saltpipe refillable?

A: The Saltpipe cannot be refilled as it is a sealed unit.
