6 Frequent Questions. 6 Answers
Why does the salivent
®
Aerosol Inhalator function so well?
It has been known for a long time that the inhalation of saline
vapour (aerosol) supports the healing process actively. Aerosol
particles are saline micro-particles, as they occur at the seaside
at wind force 10. The inhaled aerosol stimulates the forming of
mucus and secretion, simplifying coughing up and accelerating
the natural self-cleaning mechanisms. A further positive effect
of salt is its anti-inflammatory effect.
What are the holes and the rotatable rings for?
The holes control the air supply. The more holes are open, the
easier it is to inhale. Convenient for persons with weak lungs
such as children, the elderly or ill persons.
How long and how often should I inhale in order to feel better?
Depending on the illness we recommend to inhale at least 2-3
times per day. You may of course use the inhalator as often as
you wish - overdose is not possible.
Is the salivent ® Aerosol Inhalator allowed for use on children?
Yes, the device is suitable for children, as no noise is emitted, it
is handy and can be used in any place. The mask expands to fit
faces aged 4 and above.
Is it possible to inhale other salts?
Generally yes, as long as they are food-grade. For optimal
healing however we recommend the salt provided with the
inhalator. Grain size and type of salt are crucial conditions for
100 % effect.
Why can‘t I see any steam?
The inhalator is no electric evaporator from which steam
evaporates but a self-active inhalation, i.e. the effect develops
through the own power of the lung activity.
