Using ultrasonic atomization, it releases 25-30000 µg of salt per hour, creating air similar to that in a salt cave in your home. The salty air is safe for all ages (consider the crowds living by salty seaside air).
Salty air has long been used as a natural complementary therapy for COPD, asthma, colds, rhinitis, and respiratory allergies due to its beneficial effects.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited genetic disease primarily affecting the respiratory and digestive systems. In this condition, the mucus produced by glands becomes thicker and stickier than normal, which can block airways and ducts in the digestive system, causing severe organ damage.
What causes cystic fibrosis?
Cystic fibrosis is caused by a mutation in the CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator) gene located on chromosome 7. This gene is responsible for chloride ion transport across the cell membrane. When this process malfunctions, the secretions produced by glands thicken and block the ducts. The disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning it develops only if both parents carry the defective gene and pass it on to their child.
Symptoms of cystic fibrosis
The symptoms of cystic fibrosis are diverse and affect multiple organ systems.
In the respiratory system, persistent cough, thick sputum production, recurrent respiratory infections, shortness of breath, and wheezing may occur.
In the digestive system, there may be digestion problems, foul-smelling, fatty stools, malnutrition, failure to gain weight, and vitamin deficiencies.
Additional symptoms include salty-tasting skin and infertility in males.
How to complement medical therapy at home?
Alongside medical treatment, home supplementary therapies play an important role in managing cystic fibrosis.
Daily physiotherapy and breathing exercises are recommended to keep the airways clear, helping to remove thick mucus.
A proper diet rich in vitamins and minerals is essential; digestive enzyme supplements may be needed as well.
Regular exercise improves lung function and overall fitness.
Also important is infection prevention, such as proper hand washing and avoiding crowded places.
Benefits of oscillatory devices (OPEP)
Oscillatory positive expiratory pressure (OPEP) devices assist in loosening and clearing the thick mucus buildup in the airways.
During use, vibrations generated on exhalation stimulate the airway walls, reducing mucus viscosity and promoting its clearance.
Regular use of OPEP devices can enhance lung function, reduce frequency of respiratory infections, and improve quality of life.
Our recommendation: AerobiKa OPEP airway clearance device
Benefits of salt therapy
Salt therapy, that is, prolonged inhalation of air rich in salt particles, can also support cystic fibrosis treatment.
Inhaling saline increases salt concentration in the airways, attracting water to the mucous membranes and thinning thick mucus. This facilitates mucus clearance, improves breathing, and lowers infection risk.
Regular salt therapy use may help maintain lung function and improve quality of life.
