For the past seven years Pharmacists have been offering a natural salt based Air Purifier called Salin Plus for those suffering with respiratory issues. They have found that it can help their customers manage conditions that include Asthma, COPD, Bronchitis, Cystic Fibrosis, Sinusitis, Rhinitis (Hayfever), Allergies, Snoring and Sleep Apnoea.
Laura Hogan, Pharmacist, Mulligans Pharmacy, Smithlands Centre, Kilkenny - explains how Salt Therapy works and how Salin Plus can be very beneficial
What is the Salin Plus Air Purifier?
It is a small device about the size of a kettle that you plug in each night and leave on while you sleep. The following morning you wake up feeling refreshed after having a great night’s sleep.
How Salt Therapy works
Salt therapy has been used since the mid 1800’s when a Polish physician observed that miners working in salt caves didn’t get the lung diseases common in other miners. The benefits of Salt Therapy can be attributed to its anti-inflammatory effects. Salin Plus Air Purifier uses Micro-crystalline salts that are fanned through the air to relieve breathing difficulties. Once inhaled, the microparticles of salt penetrate deep into the lungs which can help unblock and remove any build-up of mucus and foreign allergens.Salin Plus Air PurifierLaura Hogan, Pharmacist, Mulligans Pharmacy said, “Salt therapy is a drug free treatment and we are delighted to be able to offer this natural remedy to our customers to help relieve symptoms of respiratory problems. As it is 100% natural it is suitable for everybody including young children and pregnant mothers as it contains no steroids. Furthermore, this salt therapy can be used in the home which is a huge advantage, coupled with the fact that it is so easy to use – all you do is turn on the small machine, leave it in the bedroom and it works while you sleep, waking the next morning with less mucus blocking your airways and having had a great night’s sleep. We find it particularly good for those suffering from Asthma, COPD and Sinusitis.”
Works while you sleep
The Salin Plus Air Purifier works while you sleep there are no masks or tubes involved, making it very easy to use especially for children. Just plug in the small machine and leave it on overnight and it works while you sleep. Laura concluded by saying “At this time of year, anybody who suffers from hayfever or allergies can get relief from using the Salin Plus Air Purifier. And it is important to note that it is suitable in pregnancy especially for hayfever when other medications are contraindicated”.
Replace the Salin Plus Air Purifier Filter regularly
For best results it is recommend that you should change the filter of the Salin Plus Air Purifier every 4-6 months or it will not work as intended, that is to clear the airways and release phlegm, resulting in the patient being able to breathe more easily and having a great night’s sleep. Keep a note of the date you change the filter.
A great complement to medication
The pharmacies profiled in this article recommend that you should never go off your medication without speaking to your pharmacist or doctor. However they consider the Salin Plus Air Purifier to be a great complement to medication.

How Salin Plus Air Purifier has helped these users
Asthma Relief
Ella from Dublin has suffered from Asthma since she was an infant and was on regular medication, i.e. inhalers and antibiotics, because of constant chest infections until Asthma was diagnosed. Her parents got a gift of the Salin Plus Air Purifier and after 2-3 weeks using Salin Plus Ella’s parents noticed that her night time cough had stopped and that she was having fewer issues with her asthma. They highly recommend this natural salt therapy to parents of children with Asthma.
Chest Infections
Rachel, mum of 4 year old Ethan said “My son got pneumonia when he was eight months old. We had countless trips to the hospital and doctors, every time more steroids, antibiotics and inhalers were recommended. I came across the Salin Plus Air Purifier salt therapy when Ethan was 3 years old and I was looking for something to help one of his many chest infections. I bought it in my local chemist and I leave it on in Ethan’s bedroom for the full night while he sleeps. His nose is not blocked up anymore and he doesn’t need his inhaler every day. I recommend this product to everyone I meet as every parent wants to help ease their child’s pain and this has worked for us.”
Sinusitis Relief
Adele said “I suffer from Sinusitis and have done for years until three years ago when I was given the loan of the Salin Plus Air Purifier by my brother who uses it to help manage his COPD. After just one night using the Salin Plus while I slept I found an improvement in my Sinus condition. We then purchased one for ourselves as my brother wanted his back. I have been using it ever since and I love it. It helps me manage my sinusitis and I would definitely recommend it to anybody who suffers from their sinuses”.
COPD
Mary O’Hara said, “I have been suffering with COPD and shortness of breath for the last few years and heard that the Salin Plus Air Purifier could help me. Since using the device I don’t suffer from the shortness of breath as much and my overall health is much better. I would highly recommend Salin® Plus Air Purifier for those with COPD”.
