Weight loss… a difficult question. Pounds come on much more easily than they can be shed. Let’s examine some concepts related to weight loss and their meanings.

Just a few minutes, and you'll feel reborn. […]

In the United States and Western Europe, one of the fastest-growing industries is that related to the long-term preservation of health: consumption of dietary supplements is increasing rapidly. Millions of people take various extracts, vitamins, minerals, probiotics and other similar substances.

If you live with cystic fibrosis (CF), or your child is affected by this condition, you know the daily struggle with thick, sticky secretions. Respiratory physiotherapy, inhalers, medications — these are all part of everyday life. But is there anything else that can make breathing easier?
The answer is yes: salt therapy — or, more scientifically, inhalation of hypertonic saline — is now a recognized adjunct in the treatment of cystic fibrosis. It is not alternative medicine, nor a miracle cure: both the New England Journal of Medicine trial and a Cochrane meta-analysis have confirmed its effectiveness. In this guide I will show what salt therapy can do in CF and how you can incorporate it into your treatment protocol.

Among patients who require long-term home care, unfortunately many need artificial feeding. In such cases, a nutrient-containing solution is delivered directly into the stomach — therefore it is also called enteral feeding.

If you have had pneumonia, you know how exhausting this illness can be. High fever, painful coughing, chest pain and persistent weakness can confine you to bed for days or weeks. And when the worst is over, the recovery period begins – which is often slower and harder than you might expect.

The good news is that alongside medical treatment there are complementary methods that can help dissolve secretions and clear the airways. One of these is salt therapy – or, as it is called in the scientific literature, halotherapy. In this guide you will learn how salt therapy can help recovery after pneumonia and how you can use it at home.

If you live with asthma, you know what it feels like when your chest tightens, breathing becomes difficult, and that familiar wheeze accompanies every breath. Asthma affects more than 300 million people worldwide, and in Hungary almost half a million struggle with this chronic airway disease.
The good news is that asthma is well controllable today – with appropriate medication most people with asthma can lead a full life. And there are complementary methods that can further improve quality of life. One of these is salt therapy. In this guide I will show what halotherapy can do for asthma, what the latest scientific research says, and how you can use it at home.

The literal meaning of menopause is “the end of menstruation,” the last menstrual period. For some women this can feel liberating (no longer worrying about possible unwanted pregnancies and no more hassle with the menstrual cycle). For others it can cause emotional instability and a sense of loss. A common misconception is that menopause equals the end of femininity and sexual life, which is far from true. The post-menopausal state does have drawbacks, however, since the risk of certain diseases increases and therefore requires heightened attention.

If you suffer from sinusitis, you know how agonizing the pressure headache, the blocked nose, and the sensation of your whole face being "full" can be. Sinusitis – medically called sinusitis or rhinosinusitis – affects hundreds of thousands of people in Hungary every year and is a recurring problem for many.

The good news is that there is a simple, inexpensive and effective complementary method that can help: salt therapy, especially nasal irrigation with saline. This is not alternative medicine or a miracle cure – the Cochrane database and several meta-analyses have confirmed its effectiveness. In this guide I will show how salt therapy can help in sinusitis, what the research says, and how to apply it at home.
