And then what can be described as a breath of fresh air happened. I found a natural solution that works for me to heal my lungs.
Not so long ago, possibly the winter of 2009, we had a very mild winter with many warm chinook winds. The following spring was dirty and windy with the worst dust storms that continued into the summer and then continued into fall. I would walk a single short small town block and have an asthmatic attack.
I wore a scarf across my nose and mouth any time I was outside in the spring and summer and fall to protect me from a potential onset of asthma from all the dust just hanging in the air.
May of 2011 a news article I just happened to watch revealed the healing benefits of salt therapy.

Benefits of salt therapy will help: Increase immune system function, asthma, allergies, chronic bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, acute respiratory diseases, sinusitis, emphysema, COPD, smoker's cough, colds & flu, snoring, stuffy nose (nasal congestion), ottis media and the lists go on to include whole body health.
I knew I could start salt therapy right away by creating a salt pipe with the chamber unit of an inhaler. I pulled out the cartridge and filled a gauze bag with chunky himalayan pink salt and inserted that into the chamber. Instant salt pipe.
On the first few deep breaths I felt the wonderful healing of the salt starting on my lungs.
The salt pipe was working well. The next step was finding a nebulizer.
Searching the internet I found the Halosense Inc. Ultrasonic Salinizer.
Today my nebulizer is working next to my bed, misting salt air gently every night, all night. I also have a salt nebulizer at work in the clinic room helping keep my lungs healthy.
After Only One Year of Salt Therapy
No allergic or asthmatic reactions indoors or outdoors.
The cold activated asthma in the winter is no longer a problem.
