Being by the sea in the salty sea air is known to have a soothing effect on the respiratory tract.
By using modern inhalation devices, so-called nebulizers (such as those made by Pari), this beneficial effect can also be produced at home.
With the aid of ultrasound or compressed air, the saline solution is atomised into small droplets an can thus reach the lower respiratory tract.
Depending on the severity of symptoms, isotonic an hypertonic salt solutions are available to mobilize secretion:
Isotonic salt solutions (IsoFree®) humidify the respiratory tract.
Hypertonic salt solutions (NaCl 3 % und NaCl 6 %) promote secretion mobilization - the higher the salt content, the stronger the effect achieved.
Mechanism of action - purely osmotic mode of action.
- Gently and effectively loosen the mucus
- Facilitate expecoration, thus having a decongestant and expectorant effect
- Free of chemical agents
