Has a cold swept through the family again? Is your child coughing at night for weeks, and are you already dreading allergy season? With the SaltDome you can generate salt-cave–quality air in your home and breathe it in there. For lasting effect it’s best used at night while you sleep, without anyone having to travel anywhere. It’s quiet, remote-controlled, and can help every family member: from children and allergy sufferers to snoring adults, and even pets. What complaints can the SaltDome help with? Respiratory allergy, hay fever Salty air may help clear nasal passages and reduce mucosal swelling. Many allergy sufferers report milder symptoms when they start regular use 2–4 weeks before the season. Details: Hay fever and salt therapy. Frequently ill children, recurrent colds The mucolytic effect can aid faster recovery, and regular use may help prevent infections — valuable in preschool and school settings where illnesses spread quickly.7 Details: Cold and salt therapy. Asthma — as an adjunct treatment Research suggests salt therapy may have favorable adjunctive effects in asthma without side effects — also in children.3,6 Important: in an asthma attack it does NOT replace your rescue inhaler! Details: Asthma and salt therapy. COPD and chronic respiratory diseases Salty air can help loosen secretions and ease breathing; studies report improvements in lung function and quality of life — as a complement to medication, never a replacement.2,4,5 Details: COPD and salt therapy. Sinusitis, nasal congestion, snoring The fine salt particles can reach the sinuses, helping to dissolve and remove secretions. If snoring is nasal in origin (caused by congestion or allergy), restoring free nasal breathing can reduce snoring. Details: Sinusitis and salt therapy, Snoring and salt therapy. Athletes and pets In athletes salty air may reduce exercise-induced asthma symptoms and support recovery. For dogs and cats with respiratory complaints it can be used similarly to humans. Details: Salt therapy for athletes, Salt therapy for pets.

See it in action In this short film I demonstrate the SaltDome: preparing the saline and filling the tank, placement and remote control operation, practical nightly use. How does inhaled salty air work? The SaltDome nebulizes saline ultrasonically, releasing 2–5 micron salt particles into the air. This size, research suggests, can reach the lower airways — small enough to reach the bronchi yet large enough to deposit there.8 Salt that adheres to the mucosa can act in three ways: Mucus thinning: salt’s osmotic effect draws water to the mucosal surface — like salting cucumber slices. Secretions thin and become easier to cough up and clear.8 Mucosal calming: salt particles may reduce mucus viscosity and help restore normal mucosal function, which can be beneficial in allergic conditions.1,8 Support for ciliary function: the tiny cilia that sweep mucus and debris outward can be reactivated; in chronic airway disease this function slows down, and salt therapy may aid its recovery.2 How to use the SaltDome? 1 Prepare the saline Fill the tank with water and dissolve one measuring scoop of natural rock salt according to the user manual. The device produces 2–5 micron particles by ultrasonic nebulization. 2 Place it near your bed Put the device on a stable surface not far from your sleeping area. It affects roughly one bedroom’s airspace. Most effective when operating about one to one-and-a-half meters from your head. 3 Turn it on — you can use the remote Start it before falling asleep; you can control the mood-LED color and operation from bed with the remote. 4 Sleep — the device works Daily night use of 6–8 hours is recommended: you’ll inhale gently salty air all night, unnoticed. During cold seasons you can also use it during the day for shorter periods. 5 Maintain it Replace the saline regularly and clean the tank according to the manufacturer’s instructions — hygiene and proper maintenance are required for effective operation. Frequently asked questions How long until I can expect results? Most users notice changes after a few days of regular nightly use. Salt therapy is not an acute treatment: consistency matters more than intensity. Give your body a few weeks before judging. Is it safe for children? Yes, salt therapy is safe for children (consider that billions of people live by the seaside). Research in children found no adverse effects, and regular use may reduce upper respiratory infections.3,7 Start 2–3 weeks before allergy season or kindergarten start. How is the SaltDome different from a salt pipe or salt lamp? Salt pipes deliver coarse salt particles only to the upper airways, mainly affecting the mouth and throat. Salt lamps are decorative and do not emit therapeutic salt particles. The SaltDome’s ultrasonic nebulization produces 2–5 micron particles that can reach the lower airways — and when used nightly during sleep, regular use requires no extra time or willpower. Which salt should I use, and how much does it consume? We recommend only additive-free, natural rock salt — iodized table salt or salt treated with anti-caking agents is not suitable for the airways. The rock salt available in our shop is optimized for the device. Consumption is minimal: one container lasts months with daily use. How long and how often can it be used? There’s no rule that salt therapy must be limited to a few weeks — think of the millions who live by the sea. Adjust use to your family’s needs: during cold seasons (autumn–spring, school start) you can use it continuously for 2–3 months; start 2 weeks before allergy season. Can it replace medical treatment? No. Salt therapy is a complementary method to be used alongside medical treatment, not instead of it. If you have COPD, continue taking your prescribed medications; if you have asthma, keep your rescue inhaler at hand. Salt therapy aims to support natural defenses and improve quality of life. Can I use it during an asthma attack? NO. In an asthma attack, use your rescue inhaler — salt therapy is for prevention and supporting symptom-free periods. Also wait until fever has subsided before using during acute respiratory infections. Why is it a good investment — and why might it be a smart choice? A salt-room membership or a multi-week salt cave course is time-consuming and costly for most families — and research indicates that regular, long-term use brings the benefits.2 The SaltDome is a one-time purchase that the whole family can use every night for years. Costs comparable to a few salt-room visits A single purchase comparable to the cost of a few salt-room sessions — no memberships, no travel, no appointments. 24-month warranty The device has a 24-month warranty, and as a MediMarket own-brand product we provide after-sales support. 14-day right of withdrawal When ordering online you can withdraw from the purchase within 14 days of receipt without giving a reason. Medical expert support You can ask questions before and after purchase: on weekdays between 8:00 and 14:00 call +36-53/200108. What does the SaltDome offer? 2–5 micron salt particles — reach deep Ultrasonic nebulization produces tiny particles that research shows can reach the bronchi — areas where a salt pipe or a salt lamp never reach.8 Treat while you sleep — quietly Designed for night use: placed near your bed it provides gently salty air for 6–8 hours while you sleep. Quiet operation doesn’t disturb rest — treatment becomes part of your daily routine, not an extra chore. One device — for the whole family Usable from the nursery to the bedroom: helpful for frequently ill preschoolers, allergic teens, snoring adults — and applicable for respiratory problems in your dog or cat. Does not dry the airways Unlike dry salt devices, the SaltDome nebulizes saline and emits a slight humidity — the air won’t become uncomfortably dry and the mucosa won’t be irritated. Includes a mood LED for falling asleep. What’s in the package? The SaltDome package contains: 1 pc SaltDome ultrasonic salt therapy device 1 pc power adapter 1 pc remote control 1 pc measuring scoop 1 pc measuring cup Order tip: the device requires additive-free, natural rock salt.

If you have a chronic condition, consult your treating physician before starting salt therapy! Important information Salt therapy is a complementary treatment used alongside medical care, not instead of it. You may experience a temporary increase in coughing at the start — a sign of mucus clearance — and mild throat irritation in the first sessions. If symptoms persist or worsen, reduce session time or pause use and consult a physician. The information here is for guidance only. Salt therapy is a complementary method and does not replace medical treatment. Consult your treating physician for complaints. Refer to the user manual for correct device use.
